Specialist Class F Protection for Marine Kitchens & Catering Areas
When you’re protecting a commercial kitchen, galley or catering facility onboard a vessel, you need fire protection designed around the specific hazards you face. The Jactone Marine 6 Litre PFAS-Free Wet Chemical Fire Extinguisher with Lance (EWCS6FFMER) is purpose-built for Class F fires involving cooking oils and fats, while also providing Class A protection for ordinary combustible materials. Its 6 litre capacity and extended lance make it particularly suited to professional marine kitchens and food-service areas, with the manufacturer specifying the extinguisher for fat fryers containing up to 75 litres of oil.
The extinguisher provides a 75F | 13A fire rating, using nitrogen gas as the propellant 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, with a filled weight of around 10.7kg, providing substantial Class F protection in a professional format designed for demanding catering environments.
Specially Approved for Marine Use
For vessel operators, marine contractors and businesses responsible for onboard fire protection, choosing equipment with the correct marine approval is an important consideration. This Jactone Marine model 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, providing marine-specific conformity for applicable installations.
Alongside its marine approvals, the extinguisher retains the professional specification of the Jactone Premium Wet Chemical range. It is LPCB certified to BS EN3, UKCA and CE marked, and features a quality deep-drawn cylinder, heavy-duty brass valve and thermoplastic lining. The spray nozzle complies with the dielectric test requirements of BS EN3-7, Clause 9.
PFAS-Free Wet Chemical Technology
The EWCS6FFMER uses fluorine-free wet chemical technology as part of Jactone’s Eco PLUS range. Jactone states that its PFAS-free extinguishers contain no persistent fluorochemicals, giving businesses a modern alternative where the environmental characteristics of the extinguishing medium are an important part of the purchasing decision.

Designed for Marine Catering Fire Risks
Cooking oil and fat fires require specialist Class F fire protection, particularly around commercial fryers. The EWCS6FFMER is designed specifically for this application, giving marine operators a dedicated 75F-rated wet chemical extinguisher rather than relying on a general-purpose extinguisher that is not intended for this particular fire risk. The stated suitability for fryers containing up to 75 litres of oil also provides a useful reference when specifying protection around larger commercial cooking equipment.
The lance configuration provides a dedicated rigid discharge arrangement for directing the wet chemical onto the fire from the recommended operating position. For galley and commercial kitchen installations, this can be particularly useful when equipment needs to be positioned close to the cooking hazard while still allowing controlled application of the extinguishing medium.
Professional Construction for Marine Environments
The extinguisher incorporates a deep-drawn cylinder with thermoplastic lining and a high-quality heavy-duty brass valve, supported by colour-coded components for straightforward identification. It is specified for an operating temperature range of +5°C to +60°C, with a filled weight of approximately 10.7kg.
The combination of Class F protection, PFAS-free wet chemical technology, marine-specific approval and Red Ensign conformity makes this a specialist fire protection product for customers who need equipment specified specifically for marine catering applications.
