Description
Reliable Multi-Risk Fire Protection for Marine Applications
The Jactone Marine 4kg ABC Powder Fire Extinguisher (EPS4MER) is designed for professional customers who need versatile fire protection in marine environments. Using ABC 40 dry powder, it is suitable for Class A, Class B and Class C fires, making it a practical choice where several different fire hazards may be present within the same area. The 4kg capacity provides a useful step up from smaller extinguishers when greater fire rating is required, while remaining manageable enough for a wide range of marine and commercial applications.
This model carries a 21A | 113B | C fire rating and uses nitrogen gas as its propellant, operating at 15 bar at 20°C with an average discharge time of 12.9 seconds. Jactone specifically highlights the Marine Powder range as being highly effective against petrol and volatile liquids, making the EPS4MER well suited to vehicle protection and other applications where flammable liquid risks need to be considered.
Approved for Marine Use
For marine installations, selecting equipment with the appropriate approval is a key consideration. The Jactone Marine Powder range is approved to the Merchant Shipping (Marine Equipment) Regulations SI 2016/1025, while the extinguishers are also Kitemark certified to BS EN3 and UKCA and CE marked. This provides professional customers with clearly documented certification when specifying fire protection equipment for marine applications.
The EPS4MER has a compact footprint for a 4kg extinguisher, measuring approximately 411mm high and 160mm in diameter, with a filled weight of around 6.95kg. It is specified for an operating temperature range of -20°C to +60°C, giving it flexibility across a broad range of working conditions.

The Practical Mid-Size Marine Option
The EPS4MER is a useful choice when a 2kg extinguisher does not provide the required fire rating, but a larger 6kg or 9kg unit would be unnecessary for the application. Its 4kg capacity and 21A | 113B | C rating provide a sensible balance of fire-fighting capability and physical size, making it suitable for professionally planned marine, vehicle and commercial fire protection installations.
The extinguisher also incorporates a high-quality heavy-duty brass valve and Jactone’s distinctive colour-coded identification system. For the 4kg model, the manufacturer specifies a quality deep-drawn cylinder, colour-coded header, handle and base, giving the unit a robust professional specification.
