Kitco's water mist hood system integrates fire suppression directly into the extraction hood above high-risk cooking appliances such as deep-fat fryers, chargrills and solid fuel ovens. The system meets NFPA 17A wet chemical suppression standards and is supplied with Dubai Civil Defence approval documentation for DM plan submission. Automatic activation on heat or flame detection extinguishes cooking fires while simultaneously shutting down the fuel supply.

Water mist suppression hoods combine commercial kitchen extraction with automatic fire suppression — providing both the ventilation compliance required by Dubai Municipality and the fire safety system required by Dubai Civil Defence from a single integrated installation above high-risk cooking appliances. Kitco supplies and installs water mist suppression hoods for deep-fat fryers, chargrills, solid fuel ovens and wok ranges across restaurants, hotels and food service operations in Dubai and the UAE. UAE operators who have installed cooking appliances requiring Dubai Civil Defence suppression compliance find that a combined water mist hood is the most practical path to meeting both DM ventilation and DCD fire safety requirements in a single installation with unified documentation.
Dubai Civil Defence and NFPA 17A Requirements for Kitchen Fire Suppression
Dubai Civil Defence (DCD) requires automatic fire suppression above deep-fat fryers, charcoal grills, solid fuel cooking appliances and open-flame high-heat cooking positions in commercial kitchens, in accordance with NFPA 17A (Wet Chemical Suppression Systems). The water mist hood integrates the suppression nozzle array, automatic heat detection, fuel shutoff valve connection and manual pull station override into the hood body above the cooking appliance — satisfying DCD requirements as a single installed system. Kitco supplies water mist hoods with DCD pre-approval documentation included, making the DM food premises plan submission process significantly more straightforward for kitchens with suppression-qualifying appliances. Annual DCD certification is also available from Kitco's service team.
How Water Mist Suppression Protects Commercial Kitchens in Dubai
On automatic fire detection, the water mist suppression system activates within seconds — delivering a fine water mist that cools the fire surface below ignition temperature and displaces oxygen from the immediate combustion zone, extinguishing the fire with minimal water volume and collateral damage to surrounding equipment. Simultaneously, the cooking appliance gas supply is automatically shut off at the solenoid valve installed in the gas line, preventing re-ignition once the fire is suppressed. The kitchen alarm is triggered to alert staff, and the system can be configured to maintain ventilation fan operation to extract steam and fire gases during suppression — or shut the fan down if ductwork fire spread is a risk. Manual override via the wall-mounted pull station allows staff to activate suppression immediately if they identify a fire before automatic detection triggers.
