Buckeye BFR-5K is a complete system package for fixed fire protection of commercial kitchens and restaurants, with a capacity of up to 5 flow points. The Kitchen Mister system discharges a wet chemical agent through fixed nozzles over cooking appliances, hood plenums and exhaust ducts. The agent cools the fire and helps prevent re-ignition of grease and oil.
