Description
High-Capacity Water Protection for Class A Fire Risks
The Jactone Premium 9 Litre Water Fire Extinguisher (EWS9) is a high-capacity solution for businesses that need dedicated protection against Class A combustible material fires. Using water as the extinguishing medium, it is designed for fires involving materials such as wood, paper and textiles, making it particularly suitable for workplaces, warehouses, workshops, storage areas and other premises where ordinary combustible materials form a significant part of the fire risk.
The 9 litre model provides a 21A fire rating, giving you greater rated protection than the 6 litre version for applications where a larger water capacity is required. It uses nitrogen gas as the propellant, operates at 15 bar at 20°C and has an average discharge time of 52.6 seconds. With a filled weight of approximately 14kg, this is a substantial extinguisher intended for professionally planned fire protection installations where higher Class A capacity is appropriate.
Built for Professional Fire Protection
The Premium Water range is designed with durability and straightforward identification in mind. The EWS9 features a quality deep-drawn cylinder, high-quality heavy-duty brass valve and thermoplastic lining, together with Jactone’s distinctive colour-coded handle and header label. The spray nozzle also complies with the dielectric test requirements of BS EN3-7, Clause 9.
The extinguisher is Kitemark certified to BS EN3, UKCA and CE marked, and is manufactured in the UK. It has an operating temperature range of +5°C to +60°C and measures approximately 552mm high and 189mm in diameter. As a water extinguisher, it should be selected only where the identified fire risk is appropriate for Class A water protection and should not be used on live electrical equipment.

When a 9 Litre Water Extinguisher Is the Right Choice
Where your fire risk assessment identifies a requirement for Class A protection, the EWS9 gives you a larger-capacity water extinguisher for situations where a smaller unit may not provide the required rating. The 9 litre format makes it particularly suitable for larger areas containing combustible materials, while its professionally specified construction is designed for installation as part of a wider workplace fire protection system.
The EWS9 offers the highest fire rating within Jactone’s Premium Water range, with its 21A rating and substantial 9 litre capacity providing a useful option for customers who need dedicated Class A protection. Its larger physical size and filled weight should, however, be considered when deciding where the extinguisher will be positioned and how it will be accessed.
