Gas Interlocking Systems

At Absolute Commercial Kitchens, we design, install, and commission fully compliant gas interlock systems across the UK. Required by regulations for all new commercial kitchens and gas installations, our systems ensure your ventilation is operational before gas appliances can be used — protecting staff and premises from unsafe gas build-up.


Core Functionality of Our Gas Interlocking Systems

Our gas interlock systems automatically cut the gas supply if any of the following occur:
– Extraction fans are not running
– Airflow drops below safe levels
– Fire alarm activates
We also have custom gas interlocking systems with optional triggers, such as, CO or CO₂ detection, external emergency stops, timers


System Features

Our gas systems are designed with safety, reliability, and flexibility in mind. Each feature works together to ensure effective ventilation control and protection in critical environments. Below is an overview of key system components:

Airflow or current sensing

We use current monitoring interlocks that detect fan operation electrically for high reliability; we avoid pressure‑based sensors that clog or fail.

Solenoid valve control

Electrically actuated valves on the gas line are governed by the interlock control panel.

Integrated control panels

Customisable panels that support up to four fans, emergency stop buttons, key switches, and display/status indicators.

Equipment & Compliance

Our gas interlocking system installation services include:

Interlocks matched to your kitchen airflow requirements and layout.

Registered engineers undertake pipework, system setup, and commissioning with complete compliance and sign off.

Validation of airflow or current before enabling gas; optional gas pipe leak/proving checks, appropriate for older installations.

All installations are completed with gas-safe and building compliance certification.
