Description
Compact Marine Fire Protection for Multiple Fire Risks
The Jactone Marine 2kg ABC Powder Fire Extinguisher (EPS2MER) is a compact, multi-purpose extinguisher designed for marine environments and professional applications where several different fire risks need to be considered. Approved to the Merchant Shipping (Marine Equipment) Regulations SI 2016/1025, this model uses ABC 40 dry powder and is rated for Class A, Class B and Class C fires, giving you broad fire protection from a single, relatively compact unit. Jactone also specifies the Marine Powder range as highly effective against petrol and volatile liquids, making it particularly useful for vehicle protection and applications where flammable liquid risks are present.
With a 13A | 70B | C fire rating, the EPS2MER offers a practical balance between fire-fighting capability and portability. It uses nitrogen gas as the propellant, operates at 15 bar at 20°C and has an average discharge time of 9.5 seconds. Measuring approximately 391mm high and 108mm in diameter, with a filled weight of around 3.2kg, it is well suited to situations where an extinguisher needs to be readily accessible without taking up excessive space.
Marine-Approved ABC Powder Protection
Choosing the correct extinguisher for a marine application means paying close attention to both fire classification and equipment approval. The EPS2MER is part of Jactone’s dedicated Marine Range and is approved to the Merchant Shipping (Marine Equipment) Regulations SI 2016/1025, while the range is also Kitemark certified to BS EN3 and UKCA and CE marked.
The ABC powder formulation makes this extinguisher particularly useful where fire hazards can vary. Class A, B and C coverage allows it to address fires involving solid materials, flammable liquids and gaseous fuels, while the manufacturer specifically highlights its effectiveness against petrol and volatile liquids. The extinguisher is fitted with a high-quality heavy-duty brass valve and Jactone’s distinctive colour-coded Marine identification.
