Description
Multi-Risk Fire Protection in a Compact Format
The Jactone Premium 3 Litre Water Mist Fire Extinguisher (EWMS3) is a versatile option for businesses that need to cover several different fire risks with one compact extinguisher. Unlike a conventional water extinguisher, the Water Mist model is designed for Class A fires involving solid combustible materials and Class F fires involving cooking oils and fats, while also having the added benefit of manufacturer fire testing against Class B risks. Electrical risk is covered up to 1000V, making this a particularly useful choice for commercial kitchens, offices, workshops, plant areas and other workplaces where fire risks are varied.
The 3 litre EWMS3 provides an 8A | 21B | 25F rating*, uses nitrogen gas as the propellant and operates at 15 bar at 20°C. It has an average discharge time of 15.26 seconds and measures approximately 435mm high by 160mm in diameter, with a filled weight of around 6.1kg. For customers who want the broader application range of Water Mist without moving to a larger 6 litre extinguisher, this model offers a useful balance of capability, size and portability.
Why Choose Water Mist?
Watermist is particularly useful where businesses need to address more than one type of fire risk without installing several different extinguisher types. The EWMS3 is designed for Class A and Class F fires, while Jactone has also fire tested the extinguisher against Class B fires. This makes it an attractive option for environments such as commercial kitchens, catering premises, offices, workshops and mixed-use commercial areas, where the fire protection requirements can be more varied.
The manufacturer also specifies the spray nozzle as complying with the dielectric test requirements of BS EN3-7, Clause 9, supporting its use where electrical equipment is part of the surrounding environment. The unit is Kitemark certified to BS EN3 and UKCA and CE marked, with a quality deep-drawn cylinder and high-quality heavy-duty brass valve.

A Flexible Solution for Commercial Premises
The compact 3 litre format makes the EWMS3 particularly useful where space, accessibility and versatility all matter. With a filled weight of approximately 6.1kg, it is considerably easier to position than a larger-capacity extinguisher, while still providing coverage across Class A and Class F risks. The specified operating temperature range of +5°C to +60°C should be considered when selecting the extinguisher for its intended location.
Jactone notes that although its Watermist extinguishers have been Class B fire tested, this performance cannot be certified under BS EN3 because the fire sizes are outside the EN3 limits. The manufacturer’s fire testing and evidence demonstrate performance in situations where Class B is not the primary risk. This distinction is important when selecting the extinguisher for a particular fire risk assessment.
