Description
Jactone Premium 5kg CO₂ Fire Extinguisher
The Jactone Premium 5kg CO₂ Fire Extinguisher (EC5) is a high-capacity carbon dioxide extinguisher designed for professional workplace environments where Class B and electrical fire risks need to be addressed. CO₂ is particularly suitable for areas containing electrical equipment and machinery because it leaves no residue after discharge and will not harm machinery or electrical equipment, helping to minimise contamination and clean-up following use.
With a 70B fire rating, the EC5 provides a substantial CO₂ charge for applications requiring greater capacity than a 2kg unit. It has an average discharge time of 16.8 seconds and is specified for operation between -20°C and +60°C, making it suitable for a wide range of commercial and industrial environments. The extinguisher incorporates a quality aluminium cylinder, high-quality valve and discharge horn assembly, together with Jactone’s distinctive colour-coded handle and header label.
Certified Premium Range Construction
The Jactone Premium CO₂ range is Kitemark certified to BS EN3 and carries UKCA and CE markings, providing clearly documented product certification for professional fire safety applications. The manufacturer’s specification also identifies the range as Made in Britain.
At 670mm high with a 152mm diameter, the 5kg EC5 is a larger-format extinguisher intended for situations where additional CO₂ capacity is appropriate. Its filled weight is approximately 11.8kg, while the empty extinguisher weighs approximately 6.8kg, so its installation and positioning should take account of the unit’s operating weight.
