CaterGuard Gas Safety Devices from Mechline

CORGI and HSE have advised against using Gas Interlock Systems (GIS) with override features. In response to these developments, Mechline has included in its offer new GIS models to help operators meet the new requirements. For catering information sheets and updates, visit the HSE site.

gas interlock system safety device mechline caterguard

M-G03R, fitted with integral Emergency Stop button

Models: M-G02 and M-G03

Bullet Point New Design for market-leading Gas Interlock System family

Bullet Point Cut off gas flow in the event of kitchen extract fan failure

Bullet Point Provide same function and practicality of “override” units but comply with HSE recommendations

Bullet Point Mandatory requirement in most commercial kitchens

Original model, M-G01N, with no override, is still available. Consider adding a Fan Power Sensor (FPS) to provide an added fail-safe to alert a GIS to shut off incoming gas supply in the case of fan or supply failure.

G.I.S. Units

WHAT G.I.S. UNITS DO

The 230V G.I.S. monitors either Air Pressure Differential Sensors mounted in the extraction and air supply ductwork and/or Fan Power Sensors. In the event of fan failure or significant air flow reduction (as calibrated by an installation engineer), the sensors will actuate the GIS, which in turn closes the gas solenoid and cuts off the gas supply to the kitchen appliances.

ADVANTAGES OF G.I.S.

Bullet Point Smart and compact design

Bullet Point Complies with new CIS 23 (revised)

Bullet Point Easy to install: clear and simple instructions with diagrams.

Bullet Point Easy to Operate: one button operation with clear indicators. All features explained fully on the fascia plate.

Bullet Point Market-Leading Features:

- Anti “Back Pressure” feature on all models

- Option of “Fail Safe” double sensor warning model (M-G03) provides the operator with “peace of mind” and a means to avoid system actuation through a faulty or failed sensor. Provides clear warning that a single sensor has failed. The system only shuts off the gas supply when both sensors actuate.

- Option of "Built-In" Emergency Stop is available on units with model numbers ending in "R"

Optional Extras

Bullet Point Honeywell Air Differential Switch with 2 metres of tubing

Bullet Point Fan Power Sensor and/or Gas Proving System

Bullet Point Remote Emergency Shut-Off Switch

Bullet Point Honeywell Gas Solenoid Valves for pipe sizes ½, ¾, 1, 1¼, 1½, 2, 2½, 3 and 4 inch

WHEN IS A GAS INTERLOCK SYSTEM A MANDATORY REQUIREMENT?

Bullet Point On installation of a completely new extraction/ventilation canopy
Bullet Point On installation of a completely new gas pipework run
Bullet Point
On installation of a completely new cook line or layout
With any fitting of Category 'B' equipment e.g. combination ovens, deep fryers, grills, charcoal griddles. This includes replacements to an existing layout
