Product Overview

The Smart CAPIL BBQ Interlock System links your alfresco rangehood to your gas BBQ so gas only flows while the extraction is working. If the mechanical ventilation system fails, the interlock isolates the gas supply through the gas solenoid valve, adding another layer of safety to a BBQ installed in an enclosed alfresco.

The interlock adds a check that the rangehood is extracting before the BBQ can be lit, so gas cannot flow to a BBQ in an enclosed space without airflow. The control box has an emergency stop button and power and gas valve indicator lights, so you can see the system status at a glance.

Country Of Origin
Extra Information

Smart's gas BBQs are certified for installation in an enclosed alfresco, which is an area with a roof and three walls that still has 25% natural ventilation. For these spaces Smart recommends a rangehood to clear smoke and fumes, and an interlock as a further level of safety. The interlock ties the two together, so the BBQ cannot be lit until the extractor is moving enough air.

The system only works with a high powered rangehood. Smart's alfresco checklist calls for at least 2,000 m3 of air per hour and suggests a twin motor rangehood to reach that flow, such as the Smart SMARH120. The rangehood sits 1,200 mm to 1,600 mm above the cooking surface. It suits natural gas and plumbed LPG, but not portable gas bottles.

It is made for Smart's gas BBQs, the 401WB, 601WB and 4000DG-SL. The WM700EW is electric and the PW01 is wood fired, so neither needs it. The system must be installed by a licensed gas fitter or plumber, and needs a standard 10 amp GPO nearby for the main power box. Accessories sit outside the manufacturer's product warranty.
