Purpose-Built Protection for Commercial Kitchen Fire Risks
When you’re protecting a commercial kitchen, restaurant or catering operation, the choice of fire extinguisher matters. The Jactone Premium 6 Litre Wet Chemical Fire Extinguisher with Lance (EWCS6FF) is specifically designed for Class F fires involving cooking oils and fats, while also providing Class A protection for ordinary combustible materials. With its dedicated wet chemical formulation and extended lance, it is a practical solution for professional kitchens where deep-fat fryers and other cooking equipment create a significant fire risk. Jactone specifically rates the extinguisher as suitable for fat fryers with up to 75 litres of oil capacity.
The extinguisher carries 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 lance arrangement allows the operator to discharge the extinguishing medium from a controlled position towards the base of the fire, making this format particularly suited to commercial cooking environments.
PFAS-Free Wet Chemical Protection
The EWCS6FF is PFAS-free, making it a modern option for businesses reviewing the extinguishing agents used across their fire protection systems. Jactone states that its PFAS-free extinguishers contain no persistent fluorochemicals, helping businesses move towards more sustainable fire protection while retaining a professionally certified product.
The Premium Wet Chemical range is LPCB certified to BS EN3 and UKCA and CE marked, while the extinguisher incorporates a quality deep-drawn cylinder, high-quality heavy-duty brass valve, thermoplastic lining and colour-coded components. The spray nozzle also complies with the dielectric test requirements of BS EN3-7, Clause 9, adding further technical assurance for professional users.

Designed Around the Realities of Commercial Kitchens
A cooking oil fire presents a very different challenge from a typical combustible material fire, which is why having a dedicated Class F extinguisher available is so important in kitchen environments. The 6 litre EWCS6FF has been specified specifically around this risk and can be used on fat fryer fires with oil capacities of up to 75 litres, giving catering businesses a clear, application-specific fire protection option.
The extinguisher measures approximately 517mm high and 160mm in diameter, with a filled weight of around 10.7kg. Its stated operating temperature range is +5°C to +60°C, so installation should take account of the environment in which the unit will be stored and accessed.
For professional kitchens, the combination of Class F capability, a 75F rating, PFAS-free wet chemical technology and the dedicated lance configuration makes this a purpose-built solution rather than a general-purpose extinguisher being used outside its intended role.
