Wholesale PricingThe Buckeye MB-1 is the OEM mounting bracket for the BFR-5 fire suppression system cylinder, the 5 flow point cylinder used in Buckeye's Kitchen Mister wet chemical kitchen fire suppression system. Built from heavy-duty steel, the MB-1 provides a wall-mounted support structure that positions the BFR-5 cylinder correctly for connection to the system's control head, actuation components, and distribution piping, while keeping it accessible for inspection and service.
Correct bracket selection matters for the Kitchen Mister system because the BFR-5 cylinder must be properly aligned and supported to connect securely to the control head and maintain the geometric relationships the system's piping design depends on. The MB-1 is purpose-built for the BFR-5 cylinder's dimensions and is the correct bracket for 5 flow point cylinder configurations. For larger BFR-10, BFR-15, or BFR-20 cylinders, the MB-2 bracket is the appropriate mounting hardware.

What is the BFR-5 cylinder?
The BFR-5 is Buckeye's 5 flow point wet chemical agent cylinder for the Kitchen Mister fire suppression system. It stores wet chemical agent that discharges through the system's nozzles over protected cooking appliances when the control head actuates, either automatically via fusible link detection or manually via the pull station.
What bracket do I need for BFR-10, BFR-15, or BFR-20 cylinders?
The MB-2 bracket is designed for the larger BFR-10, BFR-15, and BFR-20 cylinders. Do not use the MB-1 for these larger cylinders.
Can I mount this bracket myself?
No. Bracket installation is part of the certified Kitchen Mister system installation process and must be performed by a Buckeye certified distributor to maintain the system's listing and ensure the cylinder is correctly positioned for proper system operation.
