Versatile Fire Protection for Kitchens, Workplaces & Electrical Risks
The Jactone Premium 6 Litre Water Mist Fire Extinguisher (EWMS6) is a highly versatile fire protection solution for businesses that need to cover multiple fire risks with a single extinguisher. Unlike a conventional water extinguisher, the Water Mist design is intended for Class A fires involving solid combustibles and Class F fires involving cooking oils and fats, while Jactone has also fire tested the unit against Class B risks. Electrical risk is covered up to 1000V, making the EWMS6 particularly useful for commercial kitchens, offices, workshops, plant areas and mixed-use premises where a wider range of hazards may need to be considered.
The 6 litre model provides a 13A | 34B | 40F fire rating*, uses nitrogen gas as the propellant, and operates at 15 bar at 20°C. With an average discharge time of 26.73 seconds, a filled weight of approximately 11kg and dimensions of around 552mm high by 189mm diameter, the EWMS6 provides substantial extinguishing capacity while retaining the flexibility that makes Water Mist particularly attractive for professional fire protection applications.
One Extinguisher for a Wider Range of Risks
The major advantage of the EWMS6 is the breadth of protection it provides. Class A and Class F certification makes it suitable for ordinary combustible materials and cooking oils or fats, while the manufacturer’s fire testing also demonstrates performance against Class B fires where these are not the primary risk. This makes it an especially useful option for businesses such as restaurants, cafés, commercial kitchens, offices, workshops and other mixed-risk environments.
The extinguisher is also specified for use around electrical equipment, with the manufacturer stating that electrical risk is covered up to 1000V. Its spray nozzle complies with the dielectric test requirements of BS EN3-7, Clause 9, adding an important technical consideration where electrical equipment is present within the protected area.
Product Highlights
- 6 litre Water Mist fire extinguisher for professional workplace applications
- 13A | 34B | 40F rating* covering Class A and Class F fire risks
- Suitable for cooking oil and fat fires, making it ideal for commercial kitchens
- Electrical risk covered up to 1000V, according to the manufacturer
- Kitemark certified to BS EN3, UKCA and CE marked, with BS EN3-7 dielectric-tested spray nozzle
A Strong Choice for Commercial Kitchens & Mixed-Risk Areas
The 6 litre capacity makes the EWMS6 the larger option in Jactone’s Premium Water Mist range, providing greater extinguishing capacity than the 3 litre model. For businesses with cooking facilities or multiple fire hazards, this can provide a more comprehensive solution where traditional water-only protection would not address the full range of risks.
At approximately 552mm high and 189mm in diameter, the EWMS6 is a substantial professional extinguisher and should be positioned where it remains clearly accessible while taking its filled weight into account. Its specified operating temperature range is +5°C to +60°C.
Jactone notes that its Water Mist extinguishers have also been Class B fire tested, but this performance cannot be certified under BS EN3 because the tested fire sizes fall outside the EN3 limits. The manufacturer describes the results as suitable for situations where Class B is not the primary risk, so this distinction should be considered when selecting equipment for a specific fire risk.
