The Systems

Two Modern Approaches to Kitchen Fire Protection

Water-Based

CORE Fire Protection System

ETL listed to UL 300 & ULC/ORD-C1254.6

CaptiveAire’s CORE system integrates directly into the kitchen hood and uses electronic fire detection with an unlimited water supply plus a chemical surfactant — no chemical tanks to recharge after activation.

Electronic detection with battery backup — no fusible links to melt or replace
Protects the hood plenum, grease ductwork, and cooking appliances
Self-cleaning technology washes the plenum and duct after cooking, reducing grease buildup — the fuel for most kitchen fires
Faster recovery after a discharge: no chemical cleanup, lower downtime

Wet Chemical

TANK Fire Suppression System

TANK is CaptiveAire’s pre-engineered wet chemical system: pressurized agent cylinders with electronic detection, factory-installed piping, and stainless steel construction for a clean, reliable installation.

Proven wet chemical suppression for appliances, plenum, and duct
Electronic detection for fast, reliable activation
Factory-installed distribution piping — cleaner install, fewer field variables
Serviced on the semi-annual schedule required by NFPA 17A
