Gas Interlock Systems
PCD – from concept to completion
Commercial Gas Interlock Systems
Gas interlock systems are a legal requirement in commercial kitchens operating Type B gas appliances. These critical safety systems prevent gas flow unless adequate ventilation is operating, protecting your staff, customers, and premises from dangerous gas build-up, carbon monoxide exposure, and fire risks.
Prospect Catering specialises in the design, installation, maintenance, and repair of gas interlock systems for commercial catering environments. Our systems ensure full compliance with BS6173 and UK gas safety regulations.
What Is a Gas Interlock System
A gas interlock system links your gas supply to your kitchen ventilation. The system monitors extraction fan operation and only permits gas flow when adequate ventilation is confirmed. If extraction fails or airflow drops below safe levels, the system automatically shuts off the gas supply, preventing dangerous conditions.
Legal Requirements
Under British Standard BS6173, commercial kitchens using Type B gas appliances must have functioning gas interlock systems. Type B appliances include:
Combination ovens .Most commercial ovens and ranges
Any appliance requiring mechanical ventilation .Failure to comply can result in substantial fines, business closure, and increased liability for accidents or incidents.
