The Flamefast VentGuard Plus Interlock System is designed to ensure compliance with BS 6173 and IGEM/UP/19 standards, providing a reliable and efficient solution for gas safety in commercial kitchen environments. It offers seamless integration with extraction systems, preventing the flow of gas to appliances unless proper ventilation is detected.

The system features built-in fan current monitors for both intake and exhaust fans, enabling it to detect any ventilation issues automatically. In the event of insufficient airflow, the interlock will shut off the gas supply to maintain a safe working environment. The LED function and fault indicators provide clear visual feedback, while the ON/OFF key switch and emergency stop button offer straightforward control and quick emergency response capabilities.

Equipped with a 230 V, 5-amp connection for gas valves and 24 V interfaces for external sensors, this device is versatile and adaptable for various installations. The inclusion of built-in time delays helps prevent nuisance tripping, ensuring smooth operation without unnecessary interruptions.

The fan current rating of 15 A (at 230 V) ensures compatibility with a wide range of fan systems, making the VentGuard Plus ideal for commercial kitchens that use gas-fired equipment.
