Annual evidence and kitchen-change review

A local authority, adopted code, system listing, manufacturer instructions, and the actual kitchen can require different scope.

ANNUAL PLANNING ALLOWANCE

$500–$800

Two planned service visits; exclusions stay visible.

  • Semi-annual inspection/service visits and service tags
  • Fusible-link / detection-element treatment and parts policy
  • Manual pull, gas/electrical shutoff and alarm-interface checks where applicable
  • Deficiency, repair, recharge and hydrostatic-test work quoted separately

KITCHEN-CHANGE REGISTER

Hand this context to the provider

  • No appliance/layout change reported — confirm this on each service visit.
  • Record system make/model, cylinder date, tag date, hood/appliance coverage, and pull-station access.
  • Normal access assumed; document any ladder, roof, or after-hours constraint before quoting.

Sources and limits

Wet-chemical kitchen systems are commonly serviced on a six-month cycle, but the adopted code, authority having jurisdiction, system listing and manufacturer instructions govern the real requirement. This is a planning tool—not an inspection, certification, or code decision.
