Six-month inspections in La Quinta

NFPA 96 and the system manufacturer call for an inspection every six months, and the Riverside County Fire Department, which handles fire prevention for La Quinta, looks for a current tag. We check:

• The agent cylinder, cartridge and pressure.
• Every nozzle, cap and pipe run over the appliances.
• The detection line and fusible links, replacing links when due.
• The pull station and the gas or electric shut-off.
• Then we tag the system and leave a written report.

What we see most in La Quinta

Club kitchens run hard in season and slow down in summer, and that summer lull is when chefs rearrange the line or bring in new equipment. When the doors open again in the fall, the nozzles may no longer point at the right appliances. Restaurants along the busier corridors change menus through the year for the same reason. We ask what has moved at every visit.

Nozzle rework and new installations

If the line changes, we rework the nozzles to fit the new layout. We install new systems for new restaurants and remodels, and replace older systems that fall short of the UL 300 standard.

Common questions

Our club kitchen closes for part of the summer. When should we inspect?

We can time one inspection just before you reopen, so any equipment moved during the break is covered before service starts.

Do we also need a Class K extinguisher?

Yes. A kitchen with deep fryers needs one in addition to the hood system, and we service both on the same visit.
