6ltr F-class Wet Chemical Fire Extinguisher
Product Information:
Wet chemical fire extinguishers are suitable for use on deep fat fryer and cooking oil fires (Class F) and also offer protection against general A class fires (such as paper, wood, straw, textiles and coal etc.). The 6ltr f-class fire extinguisher is perfect for use in commerical kitchens, fast food outlets, industrial food production as well as mobile catering units. The extinguishers can be used from between 3 and 4 metres away from the fire helping to ensure the safety of the fire extinguisher operator. F-class fire extinguishers are the ONLY fire extinguishers that can combat fat fires. The f-class fire extinguishers are safe for inadvertent use on live electrical equipment up to 1,000 volts at a distance of 1 metre meaning added protection for users if electrical equipment is also present in the kitchen environment (such as ovens, electrical sockets, light fittings, microwave ovens etc).
The fire extinguishers are stored pressure fire extinguishers meaning that they are supplied ready filled and pressurised. The fire extinguishers also feature an easy to read pressure gauge. The pressure gauge helps to ensure that the fire extinguisher is safe for use: if the fire extinguisher is pressurised and ready for use, the pressure gauge will be in the green zone. If the fire extinguisher has lost pressure, the reading will be in the red zone and requires remedial attention.
Add enhanced fire safety protection by using a FireMart fire blanket within the kitchen environment. See our comprehensive fire blanket range for more information!
How do wet chemical fire extinguishers work?
The f-class fire extinguisher is filled with a special type of foam that works by covering and smothering the fire therefore cutting off the supply of air and safely extinguishing the fire. The extinguishers are stored pressure and are supplied fully filled.
Guarantees:

Quality approvals:
The f-class wet chemical fire extinguisher is BS EN 3 Kitemarked, CE Marked and BAFE approved.
BS EN 3 Kitemark:
Our premier range of fire extinguishers offer the BS EN3 Kitemark. The Kitemark on a portable fire extinguisher provides a visible endorsement and quality approval from the British Standards Institution (BSi), the UK national standards body, of a manufacturer's commitment to quality and the production of quality products. In order to achieve the KiteMark, fire extinguishers are subjected to rigorous testing by BSi to ensure consistent quality in the products and at all stages of production. Random samples are selected and are submitted to BSi for testing to confirm full compliance with the material, design and construction, functional, dimensional and marking requirements detailed by the standard.
CE Mark:
From May 2002, all fire extinguishers which operate under pressure have to be manufactured according to the requirements of the European Pressure Equipment Directive (PED). All fire extinguisher sold by FireMart are CE Marked in full compliance with the legislation.
Locating fire extinguishers:
The 6ltr wet chemical fire extinguisher is supplied complete with bracket meaning that it can quickly and easily be wall mounted.
Ensure that fire extinguishers are located where they are easily accessible and visible.
Ensure that fire extinguishers are wall mounted on brackets or that they are placed on floor stands.
Ensure that fire extinguishers are located along exit routes and that there is a distance of no more than 30 metres between fire extinguishers.
Ensure that extinguishers are located near to room exits, landings, lobbies and stairways meaning that people can use fire extinguishers to help them to safely evacuate a building in the event of a fire.
Ensure that a fire extinguisher identification sign (ID sign) is located above a fire extinguisher as this will instruct people on how to operate the extinguisher in the case of a fire.
Ensure that fire extinguishers are wall mounted so that the carrying handle is 1m from the floor for heavier units (e.g. 9ltr/9kg fire extinguishers and above) and 1.5m for smaller units (e.g. 6ltr/6kg fire extinguishers)
