Color Coding

Portable Extinguishers
A change to the British Standard BS 7863 (which guides manufacturers on where to place colour coding on extinguishers) has meant a change to the style of colour coding on extinguishers. A block of colour has now been placed above the operating instructions to cover between 3-5% of the extinguisher surface area.

Graphic Symbols

The internationally recognised symbol for an electrical hazard is now shown alongside the other fire classification symbols, on those products safe for contact on fires involving all types of electrical equipment.

Maintenance

With safety products such as extinguishers, regularly maintenance is essential.

British Standard Code of Practice BS 5306: Part 3 recommends that your fire extinguishers are serviced at least annually to ensure that they will always function in an emergency. The range of extinguishers shown here will provide many years of reliable fire protection only if properly maintained and serviced regularly by a competent person.

The selection and location of extinguishers is a complex process and the usage's shown below are for general guidance only.

We stock the following types of fire extinguisher...

Wet Chemical Extinguisher

Wet Chemical Extinguisher

Because of cooking oil's high auto-ignition temperatures of anything up to 360oc, these fires are notoriously difficult to extinguish. Conventional extinguishers are simply not effective at dealing with this very real risk and it can be dangerous to use them on this type of fire.

This is a wet chemical extinguisher that has been specifcally developed to deal with with cooking oils and fat fires.

It contains a specially forumlated wet chemical which, when applied to the burning liquid, cools and emulsifies the oil, extinguishes the flame and seals the surface to prevent re-ignition. With its capability to fight fires in deep fat fryers of up to 75 litres capacity, it is ideal for many catering environments.

  • Lance to tackle fire from a safe distance
  • Controllable, low rate discharge to prevent oil splash-back
