Wet Chemical Fire Extinguishers

A chemical fire extinguisher is the right type to fight fires involving cooking oil and fat, making it an essential safeguard in kitchens, food processing plants, retail food outlets and for leisure applications like caravans and barbecues. These wet chemical extinguishers are primarily intended to fight a Class F fire – that’s a cooking oil fire – but can also be used against Class A fires involving combustible solids like wood or paper. We even offer an ABF extinguisher to fight Class B flammable liquid fires. Every wet chemical extinguisher we sell has everything you need to fit it, and is guaranteed for 5 years.

If you’re uncertain about which wet chemical fire extinguisher is right for you, we can offer all the advice you need. Log on to our wet chemical fire extinguishers advice page, live chat, or call 01724 281044.

Wet chemical fire extinguishers employ a pressurised solution of alkali salts in water and are used for Class F fires. Its principal application is in kitchens, canteens and food processing areas. Wet Chemical extinguishers can be used on Class A fires involving solid combustibles. The Synergy ABF Foam extinguisher is also effective on burning petroleum and hydrocarbons giving a highly versatile solution.

Using a wet chemical fire extinguisher:

1. Turn off the source of heat if safe to do so.
2. Pull out the retaining pin (this will break the plastic "pull tight" security seal) and squeeze the grip to discharge the extinguisher. 
3. Hold the lance at arm's length, well above the fire with its nozzle at least 1 Metre away from the fire.
4. Holding the lance still, discharge so that the spraying wet chemical falls gently onto the surface of the fire.
5. Even if the fire appears to go out quickly, it is advisable to discharge the entire contents of the extinguisher.
