Description
High-Capacity Fire Protection for Marine Environments
The Jactone Marine 6kg ABC Powder Fire Extinguisher (EPS6MER) is designed for professional customers who need high-capacity, multi-purpose fire protection in marine environments. Using ABC 40 dry powder, this extinguisher is suitable for Class A, Class B and Class C fires, making it a versatile option where a vessel, marine facility or working environment may contain several different fire hazards. Jactone also highlights the Marine Powder range as highly effective against petrol and volatile liquids, making the EPS6MER particularly useful for vehicle protection and applications involving flammable liquids.
With a 27A | 183B | C fire rating, the 6kg model provides substantially greater rated protection than the 2kg and 4kg versions, making it a suitable choice where a higher-capacity extinguisher is required. The EPS6MER uses nitrogen gas as its propellant, operates at 15 bar at 20°C and has an average discharge time of 16.1 seconds. Its filled weight is approximately 9.55kg, so suitable positioning should take account of both accessibility and the weight of the unit.
Approved for Marine Applications
When specifying fire protection for marine use, certification can be just as important as the fire rating itself. The Jactone Marine Powder range is approved to the Merchant Shipping (Marine Equipment) Regulations SI 2016/1025, and the extinguishers are also Kitemark certified to BS EN3, UKCA and CE marked. This gives professional customers clearly documented certification when selecting equipment for marine fire protection installations.
The EPS6MER measures approximately 517mm high and 160mm in diameter, providing a substantial 6kg powder capacity without the larger footprint of the 9kg model. It is specified for an operating temperature range of -20°C to +60°C, giving it flexibility across a wide range of professional operating conditions.

When a Larger Marine Extinguisher Makes Sense
The 6kg EPS6MER is a useful option for customers who need more fire-fighting capacity than a compact 2kg or 4kg extinguisher can provide, without stepping up to the largest 9kg model. Its 27A | 183B | C rating makes it suitable for a broad range of fire risks, while the 6kg format offers a practical balance between capacity and physical size for professionally planned marine fire protection.
The extinguisher also features a high-quality heavy-duty brass valve and Jactone’s distinctive colour-coded marine identification. For the 6kg model, the manufacturer specifies a quality deep-drawn cylinder together with colour-coded header, handle and base components, giving the extinguisher a robust specification for professional use.
