Description
High-Capacity Class A Fire Protection for Marine Applications
The Jactone Marine 9 Litre Water Fire Extinguisher (EWS9MER) is a high-capacity fire extinguisher designed specifically for professional marine applications where protection against Class A combustible materials is required. Using water as the extinguishing medium, it is intended for fires involving wood, paper, textiles and other Class A combustibles, providing a straightforward solution where these materials form part of the fire risk.
This 9 litre model delivers a 21A fire rating and uses nitrogen gas as the propellant, operating at 15 bar at 20°C with an average discharge time of 52.6 seconds. The combination of its 9 litre capacity and 21A rating makes it suitable for applications where a higher-capacity water extinguisher is required. With a filled weight of approximately 14kg, it should be installed where it remains readily accessible while allowing for the weight and dimensions of the unit.
Designed for Marine Fire Safety
For marine operators, having the correct approval is an important part of selecting fire protection equipment. The EWS9MER is part of Jactone’s Marine Range and is approved to the Merchant Shipping (Marine Equipment) Regulations SI 2016/1025. It is also Kitemark certified to BS EN3 and UKCA and CE marked, providing clearly documented certification for professional marine fire protection requirements.
The extinguisher is built for professional use with a quality deep-drawn cylinder, high-quality heavy-duty brass valve and thermoplastic lining. Jactone also specifies a colour-coded handle and header label for clear identification, while the spray nozzle complies with the dielectric test requirements of BS EN3-7, Clause 9.

A Substantial Water Extinguisher for Marine Environments
The 9 litre capacity makes the EWS9MER the larger-capacity option for customers who require dedicated Class A water protection in a marine setting. At approximately 552mm high and 189mm in diameter, it provides substantial extinguisher capacity while retaining a conventional portable extinguisher format. The specified operating temperature range of +5°C to +60°C should also be considered when selecting the extinguisher for its intended installation.
For vessels and marine facilities where the identified fire risk is primarily combustible materials, the EWS9MER combines high-capacity Class A protection with marine-specific approval and professional construction, giving you a clearly specified option for inclusion within a wider fire safety system.
