Description
Versatile Fire Protection for Marine & Offshore Environments
The Jactone Marine 3 Litre Water Mist Fire Extinguisher (EWMS3MER) is a compact, multi-purpose fire protection solution for businesses and professional operators who need to address several different fire risks within a marine environment. Using water and a specialist Water Mist discharge system, it is designed for Class A fires involving solid materials and Class F fires involving cooking oils and fats, with the manufacturer also reporting fire-tested performance against Class B risks. This broad application makes the 3 litre model particularly useful where space is restricted but a wider range of fire protection is required.
The EWMS3MER provides an 8A | 21B | 25F rating*, uses nitrogen gas as the propellant and operates at 15 bar at 20°C. With an average discharge time of 15.26 seconds, a filled weight of approximately 6.1kg and a compact footprint of around 435mm high and 160mm in diameter, it offers a useful balance between capability, accessibility and available installation space.
Marine-Approved Protection for Multiple Risks
The EWMS3MER is part of Jactone’s dedicated Marine Range and is approved to the Merchant Shipping (Marine Equipment) Regulations SI 2016/1025. It is also Kitemark certified to BS EN3 and UKCA and CE marked, giving professional customers clearly documented certification when specifying fire protection equipment for marine applications.
One of the key advantages of this Water Mist extinguisher is its suitability for Class F cooking oil and fat fires, alongside Class A protection. The manufacturer also states that electrical risk is covered up to 1000V, while the spray nozzle complies with the dielectric test requirements of BS EN3-7, Clause 9. This combination can make the extinguisher particularly useful in marine accommodation, catering facilities, kitchens and other working areas where combustible materials, cooking risks and electrical equipment may be present together.

Compact Protection When Space Is at a Premium
Marine environments often require fire safety equipment to be installed within carefully managed spaces, so the compact 3 litre format can be particularly useful where a larger extinguisher would be impractical. The EWMS3MER offers a broad range of applications in a relatively compact unit, while its 6.1kg filled weight makes it more manageable to position and access than a larger-capacity Water Mist extinguisher.
Jactone’s marine specification gives the extinguisher an operating temperature range of +5°C to +60°C and a filled weight of approximately 6.1kg. The manufacturer also confirms that its Water Mist extinguishers have been fire tested against Class B risks, but this performance cannot be certified under BS EN3 because the tested fire sizes fall outside the standard’s limits. Jactone describes the Class B results as suitable for situations where Class B is not the primary risk, an important distinction when selecting equipment for a specific fire risk.
Robust Construction for Professional Use
The EWMS3MER features a quality deep-drawn cylinder, high-quality heavy-duty brass valve and colour-coded identification components. These details, together with the marine approvals and certification, make it a professionally specified option for operators looking to equip vessels and marine facilities with appropriately certified fire protection equipment.
