Key Features and Benefits
- Stored Pressure Design: Utilizing a stored pressure foam content mechanism, this unit ensures immediate and consistent discharge during emergencies, providing the rapid response required to contain spreading flames.
- Multi-Risk Versatility: This extinguisher is dual-purpose, rated for both Class A fires (solid combustibles like wood, paper, and textiles) and Class F fires (cooking fats and edible oils).
- Advanced Wet Chemical Formula: The specially formulated wet chemical agent works by creating a cooling effect and a soapy layer over the surface of burning fats, effectively suppressing the fire and preventing re-ignition.
- Ideal for High-Risk Environments: An indispensable asset for commercial kitchens, restaurants, catering facilities, and food processing plants where deep fryers and large-scale oil usage are standard.

Product knowledge base and guides
Product Overview
A Wet Chemical Fire Extinguisher is a specialized suppression tool designed primarily for kitchen environments. Unlike standard extinguishers, wet chemical agents are formulated to react with burning fats and oils, creating a saponification layer (a soapy film) that smothers the fire and cools the fuel source.
Fire Class Compatibility
| Fire Class | Material Type | Suitability |
|---|---|---|
| Class A | Solid combustibles (wood, paper, cloth, plastics) | Highly Effective |
| Class F | Cooking oils, fats, and deep fryer liquids | Specially Formulated for this Class |
Technical Specifications
- Volume: 6 Litres
- Total Weight: 15 kg
- Physical Dimensions: 60cm (L) x 15cm (W) x 15cm (H)
- Deployment Method: Stored Pressure
Installation and Usage Guidelines
Placement: For optimal safety, extinguishers should be mounted in visible, easily accessible locations near cooking areas, but not directly above the hazard to ensure they remain reachable during a fire event.
Operation (PASS Method):
- Pull the pin to break the tamper seal.
- Aim low, pointing the nozzle at the base of the fire.
- Squeeze the lever to discharge the agent.
- Sweep from side to side at the base of the fire until extinguished.
Maintenance and Safety
- Regular Inspections: Check the pressure gauge monthly to ensure it remains in the green zone.
- Professional Servicing: Ensure the unit is serviced annually by a certified fire safety professional to comply with local safety regulations.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperature fluctuations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this on an electrical fire?
While wet chemicals are safer than some agents, it is highly recommended to use a CO2 or Dry Powder extinguisher for electrical fires. Always consult your local fire safety guidelines regarding electrical compatibility.
Why is this better than a standard powder extinguisher for kitchens?
Standard powder can splash burning oil, potentially spreading the fire. Wet chemical agents are designed to settle on the oil and create a cooling barrier, which is much safer for Class F hazards.
