9ltr Eco Water Kitemarked Fire Extinguisher

9ltr Water Kitemarked Fire Extinguisher

Product Information:
Water Fire Extinguishers are suitable for A Class fires which are fires involving solid, combustible materials such as wood, paper, straw, textiles and coal. Water fire extinguishers are suitable for use in a wide range of environments including offices, factories and warehouses. Water fire extinguishers are recommended for use on solid fuel burning fires such as paper, fabric and furniture. The FireMart 9ltr water fire extinguisher is filled only with pure water and is therefore safe for the environment. Water fire extinguishers are often paired with 2kg Carbon Dioxide (Co2) extinguishers providing protection against class A and B fires. Water fire extinguishers should NOT be used on live electrical equipment. The fire extinguishers are supplied complete with bracket and can quickly and easily be wall mounted or placed on a fire extinguisher floor stand.

Firemart water fire extinguishers are the most environmentally friendly fire extinguishers as they contain NOTHING BUT PURE WATER! Therefore when the water fire extinguishers are required to test discharged and refilled after five years, there is nothing but pure water to dispose of. Similarly, if water fire extinguishers are accidently discharged and used then only pure water will run off from the fire extinguisher. All of the Firemart water extinguishers (both Standard and BS EN 3 Kitemarked ranges) are all filled only with pure water.

The FireMart Water 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.



How do water fire extinguishers work?
Water is an effective cooling agent which works by asborbing heat from a fire. The fire extinguishers are stored pressure and are supplied fully filled.

Guarantees:
This fire extinguisher is guaranteed for five years from date of purchase provided that the fire extinguisher is serviced from new in accordance with BS 5306: Pt 3 by a trained, competent fire service engineer using genuine spare parts. This guarantee does not cover defects caused by accident, misuse or neglect.

Quality approvals:
The 9ltr water fire extinguisher is BS EN 3 Kitemarked and CE Marked.



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 9ltr water 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)
