In 1962, Ansul recognized that there was

no effective system to combat dangerousand frightening restaurant fires.Dangerous because a fire can begin on acooking appliance or in a hood orductwork and quickly spread to involve anentire kitchen or restaurant. Frighteningbecause statistics show that manyrestaurants never reopen after a major fire.

Ansul responded by developing the R-100System, the first dry chemical firesuppression system designed exclusivelyfor restaurant hood and duct protection.Restaurant owners, their insurancecompanies and local fire inspectors were

quick to recognize the new system as an

effective solution to a major problem in therestaurant industry. A new and improvedmodel, the Ansul R-101 Dry ChemicalSystem replaced the initial R-100 unit ashort time later.

In 1982, we introduced the Ansul R-102Wet Chemical Restaurant FireSuppression System. It was our answer tothe industrys requests for 1) a system toprotect the innovative new cookingappliances making their appearance inrestaurants; and 2) a system with anextinguishing agent that is easier to cleanup after a fire than dry chemical.

The Ansul R-102 System. State-of-the-art in restaurant fire protecti

Meeting the fire protection challenge.

Over 30 years later, Ansul is still the most

well-known name in restaurant fireprotection.The high quality Ansul R-102System is the preferred choice ofarchitects who design kitchens,restaurateurs who own and operatethem, insurance underwriters whoprovide coverage and fire inspectors whoenforce the codes. These people knowthat without a system like the Ansul R-102, restaurant fire insurance would bedifficult (if not impossible) to obtain at anyprice. And they trust the Ansul System toreact quickly to a fire, automatically,before the fire has the opportunity togrow and spread.

In short, the Ansul R-102 System meets

the fire challenge. It detects andsuppresses fires with or without someonepresent... 24 hours a day. Its simpledesign permits quick and easy installationin single or multiple systemconfigurations.So it can handle a singlemesquite grill and hood or an entirekitchen full of cooking appliances.

And the Ansul R-102 System features agreat, new extinguishing agent ANSULEXLow pHliquid firesuppressant developed by Ansulscientists to provide better, cleaner fireprotection. All good reasons why Ansulsystems continue to protect morerestaurants worldwide exclusive

gourmet, major chain, fast food orinstitutional than any other brand.

How the Ansul R-102 System works:

When a fire occurs in a protected area, itis quickly sensed by detectors located inthe ductwork or cooking appliance hood.

ANSULEX Low pHliquid fire suppressantflows through the piping and isdischarged into the plenum and duct

areas and onto the cooking appliances.

The ANSULEX agent is applied directly on

the fire in specific spray patterns,suppressing the fire in seconds.As itsmothers the hot cooking greases, a foamblanket is formed, sealing off combustiblevapors to help prevent fire reflashes.

The detectors trigger the ANSULAUTOMANrelease mechanism whichactuates the system... pressurizing theagent storage tank and automaticallyshutting off appliance energy sources inthe event of a fire.
