Kitchen fire suppression systems explained
These ANSUL kitchen fire suppression systems are specifically designed to rapidly detect heat, smoke, or fire. The primary objective of this system is to extinguish a fire before it can spread and cause significant damage to people and property.
At Asco, we’re proud to supply ANSUL kitchen fire suppression systems, specifically the ANSUL R-102 which is the product of choice for many commercial kitchens. The ANSUL R-102 can be manually or automatically activated and uses specialised nozzles to direct the wet chemical agent to the exact location where it’s needed. When triggered, the chemical agent displaces the oxygen and creates a foam blanket that effectively prevents re-ignition.
We’re backed by the LS Fire Group and we operate across Scotland, including Duns, Forfar, Ardrossan, Aberdeen, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Midlothian, as well as across the UK with the help of our partner brands.

Kitchen Fire Suppression FAQs
- What is a commercial kitchen fire suppression system, and why is it needed?
- A commercial kitchen fire suppression system is a fixed system that automatically detects and extinguishes flame or heat in cooking areas, especially around hoods, ducts and fryers. These systems reduce the reliance on manual fire response and act swiftly to halt a fire before it spreads. Because kitchens involve hot oils, fats and high temperatures, standard fire extinguishers alone are often insufficient. A properly installed system ensures the entire kitchen environment remains safer, assets are protected, and regulatory obligations are met. For tailored advice on systems suited to your kitchen, speak with ASCO’s fire suppression experts.

- What is an ANSUL fire suppression system, and does ASCO install them?
- ANSUL is a globally recognised brand of fire suppression systems, particularly known for its kitchen suppression solutions such as the ANSUL R-102. These systems are engineered to extinguish grease fires and prevent re-ignition using wet chemical agents. ASCO supplies these ANSUL fire suppression systems for commercial kitchens across Scotland and the UK.

- What makes ANSUL kitchen fire suppression systems preferred in commercial settings?
- ANSUL systems are widely adopted because they combine rapid detection, precise discharge, and reliable suppression tailored to the hazards of cooking equipment. In particular, systems like R-102 use specialised nozzles to deliver wet chemical agents exactly where needed, suppressing flames and cooling surfaces while displacing oxygen to prevent re-ignition. These systems are tested under demanding standards and are often required by insurers for commercial cooking operations. ASCO’s engineers will select the correct ANSUL model for your kitchen’s layout and hazard profile, then design and install a system that meets fire safety legislation and ensures optimal protection.
- Do you maintain and service fire suppression systems once installed?
- After installation, ongoing maintenance, inspection and servicing are critical to keep commercial kitchen fire suppression systems operational and compliant. ASCO offers maintenance plans and servicing for ANSUL systems and other suppression equipment across Scotland. Our accredited team inspects system integrity, checks nozzles, agents, gas cartridges, detection links and ensures the system remains ready to act in the event of a fire. To ensure your system remains effective and compliant year after year, arrange a service or maintenance agreement with ASCO.
