Gas Interlock Parts

A gas interlock is a vital safety device designed to protect commercial kitchens and catering environments by ensuring gas appliances cannot operate without proper ventilation. By linking the gas supply to the extraction system, a gas interlock system helps reduce the risk of carbon monoxide build-up and ensures compliance with UK safety regulations. This makes it an essential component in professional kitchens, schools, hospitals, and food service environments.

Modern gas safety interlock solutions are built for reliability, ease of installation, and straightforward operation. Whether you’re fitting out a new kitchen or upgrading an existing system, these devices provide a dependable way to improve safety, protect staff, and meet inspection requirements without disrupting day-to-day operations.

  • Helps meet UK gas safety and catering compliance requirements
  • Prevents gas appliances operating without active extraction
  • Reliable, robust designs for commercial environments
    Suitable for new installations or retrofitting existing kitchens
    Reduces risk of fumes, smoke, and carbon monoxide build-up

How It Works / How It’s Used

A gas interlock system monitors whether the kitchen’s extraction or ventilation system is running. When the ventilation is switched on and operating correctly, the interlock allows gas to flow to the appliances. If the extraction system is not running or fails, the gas supply is automatically shut off. This ensures that gas appliances cannot be used in unsafe conditions.

In practice, the system is wired into both the ventilation controls and the gas supply valve. Once installed, operation is automatic and requires minimal user input, making it a reliable safety measure for busy commercial environments.

Ideal Use / Applications

  • Commercial kitchens and catering facilities
  • Schools, colleges, and universities
  • Restaurants, takeaways, and food preparation areas
  • Hospitals and care facilities
  • Any environment where gas appliances and extraction systems must operate together safely

Important Considerations & Safety Notes

  • Gas interlock systems must be installed in accordance with current UK regulations and by a suitably qualified professional.
  • Always ensure compatibility with your existing gas supply, ventilation system, and control equipment before installation.
  • Regular inspection and testing are recommended to maintain safe and reliable operation over time.
  • The system should never be bypassed or modified, as this may compromise safety and regulatory compliance.
  • In commercial kitchen environments, ensure staff are trained on correct operation and understand how the system responds to ventilation or power failures.
