Description
Fire Extinguisher Water is a traditional, basic, and highly reliable fire suppression unit designed specifically for combating fires involving ordinary solid combustible materials .2 It is the most common and economical type of extinguisher for general use in environments where the primary fire risk is solid material.
Features:
- Extinguishing Agent: Plain Water. The agent works by absorbing massive amounts of heat (cooling the fuel) and saturating the burning material, preventing the release of flammable vapors.
- Class A: Fires involving ordinary solid combustibles such as wood, paper, cardboard, textiles, and most plastics.
- Sizes: Commonly available in 6 Litre and 9 Litre portable sizes, with 9 Litres being the industry standard for maximum portable coverage.
- Operating Mechanism: Typically a stored pressure unit, featuring an external pressure gauge for straightforward verification of operational readiness.
-
Discharge Mechanism: Usually discharges a powerful jet stream or spray designed to penetrate deep into smoldering materials and achieve maximum cooling effect.
-
Identification: Water extinguishers are easily identified by their all-red cylinder and a large red band or label indicating the water agent
- Superior Class A Performance: Water is the most effective and penetrating agent for deep-seated fires in solid materials
