Wholesale PricingThe Buckeye FLH-1 is a mounting hanger for fusible link assemblies in Buckeye kitchen fire suppression systems, providing secure support and proper positioning of the fusible link directly above the protected cooking appliance. The FLH-1 holds the thermal link at the correct height in the heat plume zone above the cooking surface — where the link will be exposed to the convective heat signature of a cooking oil or grease fire and melt at its rated temperature to trigger system discharge. Correct fusible link positioning via the FLH-1 hanger is one of the most critical factors in kitchen fire suppression system detection reliability.
A fusible link hanger that allows the link to shift out of its designed detection position reduces the system's sensitivity to the thermal signature of the protected appliance. Over time in a busy commercial kitchen, vibration from cooking equipment, cleaning activities, and general kitchen operations can cause improperly supported links to migrate away from their aimed position. The FLH-1's secure mounting design prevents this drift, keeping the thermal link in its calibrated detection zone for the full semi-annual service interval between inspections.
The FLH-1 is part of the complete buckeye fire suppression system components ecosystem including the RPS-M pull station, MS-DPDT microswitch, BFR-CAP, BFR-DAK, and BFR-VRK — all available through authorized buckeye fire distributors. Inspect the FLH-1 at every semi-annual NFPA 17A and NFPA 96 service visit: verify the hanger is secure, the fusible link is correctly positioned above the protected appliance per the buckeye nozzle chart and buckeye kitchen fire suppression system manual, and there is no grease buildup or mechanical damage. Replace the fusible link (sold separately) at every semi-annual inspection per NFPA 96 requirements for thermal detection component replacement.

Semi-Annual Inspection
At every semi-annual NFPA 17A and NFPA 96 inspection, verify each FLH-1 hanger is securely mounted and the fusible link is correctly positioned above its protected appliance per the buckeye kitchen fire suppression system manual positioning requirements. Check for grease accumulation on the hanger that could insulate the fusible link from the heat plume — clean the hanger if grease buildup is found. Replace the fusible link at every semi-annual inspection regardless of appearance. Document hanger and link positions in the fire suppression system inspection record.
Post-Discharge Replacement
After any Buckeye Kitchen Mister system discharge, replace all fusible links throughout the detection network — the discharged links have served their function and must not be reused. Inspect all FLH-1 hangers for damage caused by the discharge event and replace any hanger showing deformation. Install new fusible links per the buckeye kitchen mister manual positioning specifications.
Is the fusible link included with the FLH-1?
No. The FLH-1 is a mounting hanger only — the fusible link is sold separately. Specify the correct fusible link temperature rating for each appliance type per the buckeye nozzle chart and buckeye kitchen fire suppression system manual. Common ratings for commercial kitchen applications vary by appliance heat output and detection position height.
Can the FLH-1 be used with Amerex or Pyro-Chem systems?
The FLH-1 is designed for Buckeye Kitchen Mister system detection network geometry. Amerex KP and Pyro-Chem Kitchen Knight systems use their own OEM fusible link hanger hardware. Always match detection hardware to the system manufacturer to maintain the UL 300 listed system configuration.
