Description
High-Capacity Protection for Multiple Fire Risks
The Jactone Premium 6kg ABC Powder Fire Extinguisher (EPS6) is designed for businesses that require broad fire protection with a higher extinguishing capacity. Using ABC 40 dry powder, the EPS6 is suitable for Class A, Class B and Class C fires, making it a versatile choice for workplaces where several different fire hazards may be present. Jactone also identifies the Premium Powder range as highly effective against petrol and volatile liquids, making this model particularly useful for vehicle protection, workshops, plant areas and other environments where flammable liquid risks need to be considered.
The EPS6 delivers a 27A | 183B | C fire rating, giving it substantially greater rated coverage than the 2kg and 4kg models in the range. It uses nitrogen gas as the propellant, operates at 15 bar at 20°C and has an average discharge time of 16.1 seconds. With a filled weight of approximately 9.55kg, the 6kg unit offers increased extinguishing capacity while remaining suitable for a wide range of professional fire protection installations.
Why Choose a 6kg ABC Powder Extinguisher?
For larger commercial and industrial areas, choosing a higher-capacity extinguisher can provide greater fire-fighting capability where the assessed risk demands it. The EPS6 combines a 6kg powder charge with an ABC fire rating, giving businesses a single extinguisher capable of covering Class A, B and C risks. This makes it particularly useful in environments where combustible materials, flammable liquids and other specified fire hazards may exist together.
The Jactone Premium range is manufactured in the UK and incorporates a high-quality heavy-duty brass valve, while the range uses colour-coded handles and headers for straightforward identification. The Premium models are Kitemark certified to BS EN3 and UKCA and CE marked, providing clearly documented certification for businesses specifying professional fire safety equipment.

More Capacity for Demanding Applications
The EPS6 is a sensible option where a compact 2kg or 4kg extinguisher does not provide the required fire rating or capacity. Measuring approximately 517mm high and 160mm in diameter, it provides a substantial level of protection without moving to the largest 9kg unit in the range. Its stated operating temperature range of -20°C to +60°C also allows it to be specified across a broad range of professional environments.
With its combination of high fire rating, broad ABC coverage and 6kg capacity, the EPS6 is well suited to customers looking for a versatile extinguisher for workshops, industrial areas, commercial premises, plant environments and vehicle protection. The correct extinguisher type, quantity and positioning should always be determined according to the specific fire risks and fire safety requirements of the installation.
