Specialist Class F Protection for Marine Catering Environments
When you’re protecting a commercial kitchen or catering area onboard a vessel, having an extinguisher specifically designed for cooking oil and fat fires is essential. The Jactone Marine 6 Litre PFAS-Free Wet Chemical Fire Extinguisher with Hose (EWCS6HFFMER) is purpose-designed for Class F fires involving cooking oils and fats, while also providing Class A protection for ordinary combustible materials. With a 6 litre capacity and flexible hose discharge, it is a practical solution for professional marine kitchens, galley areas and food-service operations, and is specified as suitable for fat fryers containing up to 75 litres of oil.
The EWCS6HFFMER provides a 75F | 13A fire rating, uses nitrogen gas as the propellant and operates at 8 bar at 20°C, with an average discharge time of 46.7 seconds. The 6 litre unit measures approximately 517mm high and 160mm in diameter and has a filled weight of around 10.7kg, providing substantial Class F protection in a format designed for professional use.
Specially Approved for Marine Use
For marine operators, choosing equipment with the correct approval is an important part of specifying a compliant fire protection system. The Jactone Marine Wet Chemical range is specially approved to the Merchant Shipping (Marine Equipment) Regulations SI 2016/1025 as amended and carries the UK Mark of Conformity – The Red Ensign, making this range specifically suited to applicable marine equipment requirements.
The extinguisher also forms part of Jactone’s PFAS-free Eco PLUS range, containing no persistent fluorochemicals. It is LPCB certified to BS EN3 and UKCA and CE marked, while incorporating a quality deep-drawn cylinder, high-quality heavy-duty brass valve and thermoplastic lining. The spray nozzle complies with the dielectric test requirements of BS EN3-7, Clause 9.

Purpose-Built for Marine Catering Fire Risks
Cooking oil fires require specialist fire protection, particularly around commercial fryers where a conventional extinguisher may not be appropriate for the identified risk. The 75F rating and 6 litre wet chemical charge make this extinguisher specifically suited to commercial cooking environments, while the manufacturer’s stated suitability for fryers containing up to 75 litres of oil gives customers a clear specification when assessing their kitchen equipment.
The hose configuration provides a flexible alternative to the lance version, allowing the operator to direct the discharge through the hose towards the base of the fire. For marine kitchens where access around cooking equipment can be restricted, this can be a useful consideration when specifying extinguisher positioning and equipment layout.
PFAS-Free Wet Chemical Technology
The Eco PLUS specification gives businesses a modern alternative to conventional fluorinated extinguishing agents. Jactone states that its PFAS-free extinguishers contain no persistent fluorochemicals, helping organisations that are reviewing the environmental characteristics of their fire protection equipment.
The extinguisher is also designed for professional use, with colour-coded identification, a durable deep-drawn cylinder and heavy-duty brass valve. Its operating temperature range is +5°C to +60°C, with a stated filled weight of approximately 10.7kg.
