Service
Hood suppression system installs.
New build food truck, restaurant remodel, or fresh kitchen? We install Buckeye Kitchen Mister wet chemical suppression systems — UL-300 listed, faster install than Ansul, simpler design, and built for the cooking equipment you actually have. Every install includes a tagged hood inspection and your first set of extinguisher tags.
Why we install Buckeye Kitchen Mister
Most fire protection shops still install Ansul R-102 because that's what they know. We chose Buckeye Kitchen Mister specifically because it's better suited to food trucks and small commercial kitchens — and it saves the customer money.
- UL-300 listed wet chemical system
- Up to 50% faster installation than Ansul R-102
- Shielded cable instead of conduit and corner pulleys
- Color-coded nozzles for easier identification and maintenance
- Single anchor bracket inside the hood — less drilling, less hassle
- Cylinders sized BFR-5 through BFR-20 for any kitchen
- Compatible with standard hood and gas shutoff hardware
- Pre-engineered system — passes fire marshal inspection on first try
System sizes
| Cylinder | Flow points | Best for |
|---|---|---|

| BFR-10 | 10 | Standard food truck or trailer |
| BFR-15 | 15 | Larger trailer or small restaurant |
| BFR-20 | 20 | Full commercial kitchen |
What's included in a hood install
Site survey & equipment audit
We walk through your kitchen or trailer, measure hood dimensions, identify cooking equipment, and design the system around your actual setup — not a generic template.
System design & quote
You get a written design with cylinder size, nozzle placement, fusible link locations, and a flat installed price. No surprise invoices later.
Installation
We mount the cylinder, run the shielded cable, install nozzles and fusible links, connect the gas shutoff valve, install the manual pull station in the egress path, and tie into the hood.
Commissioning & testing
Functional tests on the pull station, fusible links, and gas shutoff. Air pressure test on the piping. Full system verification before we tag it.
Tagging & documentation
System gets a current inspection tag with our certification number. You get a written installation report with photos, serial numbers, and the next inspection due date.
Fire marshal walkthrough prep
If your fire marshal is doing a final inspection, we'll meet them there with you and walk through the system — no surprises.
