The ANSUL PIRANHA system is up to 15 times faster than conventional single-agent systems in cooling down cooking oils, and importantly uses 60 percent less chemical agent. The PIRANHA Restaurant Fire Suppression System employs the best firefighting attributes of two extinguishing agents. The kitchen canopy fire suppression system attacks fire using the knockdown and securing capabilities of PRX Liquid Fire Suppressant. Water follows, quickly cooling the cooking media and further helping to prevent reflash.
Pre-engineered, ANSUL PIRANHA is a fixed system that protects: Fryers; griddles and range tops; upright, natural charcoal, or chain-type broilers; and electric, lava rock, mesquite or gas-radiant char-broilers and woks and more. In addition, it detects and suppresses fire in ventilating equipment including hoods, ducts, plenums and auxiliary grease extraction devices.
The ANSUL PIRANHA system is available in various sizes. It is possible to expand the system coverage by combining multiple configurations. High proximity nozzles allow agent discharge nozzles to be installed out of view while providing the same reliable protection. The Flexible Agent Distribution Hose makes it possible to move appliances for cleaning purposes without disconnecting the fire suppression system piping. The system is UL/ULC listed; CE marked; and ASSE, LPCB, and IAMPO approved.

Ease of recharge and post-fire cleanup, reliable gas cartridge operation and a five-year limited warranty.
