Isn’t this called an Ansul System?
Ansul is simply a type of Fire Suppression System.

How often is service due?

What happens if I do not service my system?
This is a contingent liability issue you do not want to deal with. In the event of a fire, if your system is not properly serviced and does not go off, your restaurant could burn down completely. Furthermore, an insurance company will be very reluctant to pay out a claim if you have failed to maintain your fire system. You could also be shut-down by the fire marshal, or face fines.
