Services - Portable Fire Extinguishers
The fire extinguishers we supply are manufactured to the highest standards in the UK. They are
approved to BS EN3 and carry the British Standards Kitemark - your guarantee of quality.
All extinguishers are designed to be user friendly as well as effective:
• squeeze grip operation
• controllable discharge
• colour coded block to help operators identify the extinguisher
• clear screen printed instruction
Color Coding
A change to the British Standard BS 7863 (which guides manufacturers on where to place colour
coding on extinguishers) has meant a change to the style of colour coding on extinguishers. A block of colour has now been placed above the operating instructions to cover between 3-5% of the extinguisher surface area.
Graphic Symbols
The internationally recognised symbol for an electrical hazard is now shown alongside the other
fire classification symbols, on those products safe for contact on fires involving all types of
electrical equipment.
Maintenance
With safety products such as extinguishers, regularly maintenance is essential.
British Standard Code of Practice BS 5306: Part 3 recommends that your fire extinguishers are
serviced at least annually to ensure that they will always function in an emergency. The range of
extinguishers shown here will provide many years of reliable fire protection only if properly
maintained and serviced regularly by a competent person.
The selection and location of extinguishers is a complex process and the usage's shown below are
for general guidance only.
We stock the following types of fire extinguisher...
| |
Spraywater (with Additive) Extinguishers |

|
The 3 and 6 litre Spraywater (with additive) water extinguishers contain special fire fighting additives to enhance overall performance. This provides the user with a greater capacity to tackle some of the most common types of fire, like those involving cloth, wood and paper.
Both extinguishers have passed the 35kv conductivity of discharge test giving greater all round safety if accidentally sprayed on electrical equipment.
Because of the reduced size of the extinguisher and the nature of the fire risks they tackle, Spraywater extinguishers are |
ideally suited to the office environment, where space may be at a premium and ease of use for all staff members is essential.
• Lighter and more effective than ordinary jet water extinguishers.
• Spray nozzle gives wide coverage for maximum fire fighting performance.
• 15 bar pressure means that users can attack fires from a safer distance.
• Safe if accidentally used on electrical equipment. |
| |
Water Extinguishers |

|
The 9 litre water is a reliable and effective general purpose extinguisher. With a choice between cartridge operated and stored pressure models, these extinguishers provide a cost-effective solution to tackling freely burning material, such as paper, cloth, wood or furniture.
• Jet nozzle provides a concentrated stream of water with longer fire fighting reach
• 15 bar pressure (stored pressure model) means users can attack fires from a safer distance |
• Robust design makes them suitable for demanding environments
• Available in 9 litres (stored pressure and cartridge) |
| |
Foam Extinguishers |

|
Foam extinguishers are ideal for multi-risk environments, where the source of the fire could be freely burning solid materials, like wood and paper, or flammable liquids like petrol or diesel.
Spray foam is a fire fighting medium that works by cooling fires and sealing the vapours to prevent re-ignition, providing the operator with greater all round safety. |
• Spray nozzle gives wide coverage for maximum fire fighting performance
• Safe if accidentally sprayed on electrical equipment
• Available in 2, 6 and 9 litre sizes
• 2 litre comes with transport bracket |
| |
Powder Extinguishers |

|
Advanced Fire Protection's dry powder extinguishers are extremely versatile as they can tackle fires involving freely burning materials, petrol and oils, gas and even electrical equipment. In other words, they cover virtually every fire risk.
Whilst they should not be sited in confined spaces or where cleanliness and hygiene is a priority, powder extinguishers are ideal for vehicles and multi-risk manufacturing environments.
Advanced Fire Protection's dry powder extinguishers contain a specially formulated |
high-performance powder which has a rapid fire knock down capability. As such, they are some of the most effective powder extinguishers on the market today.
• Simple seize and squeeze operation
• Visible pressure gauge on all models
• Maximum fire fighting performance
• Controllable discharge
• Choice of five sizes from 1 to 9 kg |
| |
CO2 Gas Extinguishers |

|
Advanced Fire Protection's gas extinguishers are highly effective against fires involving electrical equipment like computers, photocopiers and generators. Clean, safe and powerful, they are ideal for offices and workshops as they minimise damage to equipment or furnishings.
• Limit damage to delicate equipment and materials |
• Easy to use
• Two sizes – 2kg and 5kg
• Special non-magnetic extinguisher available for use in hospital MRI units
• Polished aluminum CO2 extinguisher now available |
| |
Wet Chemical Extinguisher |

|
Because of cooking oil's high auto-ignition temperatures of anything up to 360oc, these fires are notoriously difficult to extinguish. Conventional extinguishers are simply not effective at dealing with this very real risk and it can be dangerous to use them on this type of fire.
This is a wet chemical extinguisher that has been specifically developed to deal with cooking oils and fat fires.
It contains a specially formulated wet chemical which, when applied to the burning liquid, cools and emulsifies the oil, extinguishes the flame and seals the surface |
to prevent re-ignition. With its capability to fight fires in deep fat fryers of up to 75 litres capacity, it is ideal for many catering environments.
• Kitemarked to BS 7937:2000
• 75F rating
• Passed 35KV conductivity of discharge test
• Canary yellow colour coding
• Corrosion resistant stainless steel body
• Lance to tackle fire from a safe distance
• Controllable, low rate discharge to prevent • oil splash-back
• Capable of fighting class A fires involving |
| |
Frost Free Horn |

|
Despite the CO2 extinguisher being the UK's most commonly used extinguisher, previously they have been supplied with a warning against holding the horn when in use. This is because the CO2 is held as a liquid under pressure within the cylinder, and when it is discharged it expands rapidly, cooling down the material it contacts. As such, during the discharge of a 2kg CO2 extinguisher, the temperature of a traditional horn drops by 40oc, giving the user a risk of a frost burn if the horn is accidentally touched. |
To eliminate this problem Advanced Fire Protection have developed a new reinforced swivel horn that combats the longstanding issue of frost building on the horn.
The new horn comes as a standard on all new 2 kg CO2 extinguishers. Advanced Fire Protection can also upgrade your extinguishers during your scheduled service visit for the same price as a standard CO2 horn. |
| |
Stainless Steel Extinguishers |

|
BS EN3 specifies that extinguishers are red with colour codes to demote the contents of each. This enables the user to quickly locate and select the right extinguisher. However, in areas where the aesthetics and appearance of a room or corridor are important, red extinguishers are not always desirable.
Advanced Fire Protection's stainless steel, foam and dry powder extinguishers are ideal for restaurants, hotel foyers and other public areas and working environments where the architecture and ambience is a consideration.
Where stainless steel extinguishers are used |
training of nominated uses is essential to ensure there is no unnecessary user delay in tackling a fire, should it be safe to do so.
Water
The 6 & 9 litre stainless steel water extinguisher is suitable for class A fires involving freely burning material.
Foam
The 6 & 9 litre stainless steel spray foam extinguisher fights freely burning fires and those involving petrol, oils and volatile liquids |
| |
Class D Powder Extinguisher |
Monnex Powder Extinguisher |

|
Designed for class D fires involving metals like lithium, magnesium, sodium or aluminum (powder or Swarf). |
This is a high performance specialist extinguisher for fires involving flammable liquids such as petrol, heptanes and diesel.
Monnex Powder is used worldwide at motor-sport events. The extinguisher is BS EN3 Kitemarked approved. |
| |
Mobile Trolley Units |

|
For fire risks that demand a greater concentration of first-aid protection than can be provided by portable fire extinguishers Advanced Fire Protection offers a range of larger capacity, trolley-mounted extinguisher units.
CO2 – can be used on flammable liquid fires and being non-corrosive is ideally suited for risks involving electrical machinery such as switchgear and powerplant.
POWDER – These extinguishers can be filled with either GPS (general purpose class A, B |
and C). FC standard dry (B and C) or Monnex (Class B and C).These powders are capable of dealing with flammable liquid fires and fires involving flammable gases. GPS can also deal with Class A fires involving carbonaceous materials. All powders listed can be applied to electrical fires.
FOAM – These extinguishers are ideal for use in industrial complexes, abroad ships and in military establishments. Suitable for all class B fires involving flammable liquids, the foam produced can also extinguish Class A fires of a freely burning nature. |
Effective fire safety depends on having the appropriate fire fighting equipment, knowing where to
place it and how to use it
Note: For Alcohol fires, standard foam extinguishers are unsuitable. Only Alcohol Resistant Foam, CO2 or Dry Powder are suitable.
