CommanderEDGE | 6 Litre Water Mist Fire Extinguisher
£76.59 (inc VAT: £91.91)
Summary
The CommanderEDGE 6 Litre Water Mist Fire Extinguisher represents a versatile and modern approach to fire safety, combining effective fire suppression with minimal collateral damage. Suitable for use on Class A fires involving combustible materials such as wood, paper and textiles, and Class F fires involving cooking oils and fats, this extinguisher is an ideal choice for commercial kitchens, offices, hospitals, museums and educational facilities.
Water mist technology works by producing an ultra-fine curtain of microscopic demineralised water droplets that provide intense cooling to the fire whilst simultaneously cutting off the oxygen supply to suffocate the flames. The fine spray penetrates deep into burning materials and transforms into steam upon contact with flames, creating a blanket effect that prevents re-ignition. Unlike traditional water extinguishers, the mist leaves significantly less residue and causes minimal water damage, making it particularly suitable for environments containing sensitive equipment or valuable stock.
Manufactured in Europe and Kitemarked to BS EN3, the CommanderEDGE water mist extinguisher features a robust steel cylinder with corrosion-resistant finish and polyethene internal lining for enhanced durability. The unit is supplied with a protective plastic base skirt and is backed by a comprehensive 5-year warranty, ensuring long-term reliability and peace of mind for premises managers and fire safety professionals.

FAQs
What fire classes is the CommanderEDGE 6 Litre Water Mist Extinguisher suitable for?
This extinguisher is rated 13A 40F, making it suitable for Class A fires involving solid combustible materials such as wood, paper, textiles and similar materials, and Class F fires involving cooking oils and fats typically found in commercial kitchen environments.
How does water mist technology differ from traditional water extinguishers?
Water mist extinguishers produce ultra-fine microscopic droplets of demineralised water rather than a solid stream or spray. These tiny droplets create a much larger surface area for heat absorption, provide more effective cooling, penetrate deeper into fire zones, and leave significantly less residue and water damage compared to conventional water extinguishers. The mist also creates a blanket effect that displaces oxygen around the fire.
Where is the CommanderEDGE Water Mist Extinguisher most commonly used?
Water mist extinguishers are ideal for environments where effective fire suppression is required without causing excessive water damage. Common applications include commercial kitchens with deep fat fryers, hospitals and healthcare facilities, museums housing valuable artefacts, offices with electronic equipment, retail premises, educational establishments and similar environments containing mixed fire risks.
What is the advantage of using demineralised water in this extinguisher?
Demineralised water contains no minerals or impurities, making it non-conductive and safer for use near electrical equipment compared to standard water. It also prevents mineral deposits and corrosion inside the extinguisher cylinder, ensuring reliable long-term performance. The environmentally friendly nature of demineralised water means there are no harmful chemicals to clean up after discharge.
Is the CommanderEDGE 6 Litre Water Mist Extinguisher BS EN3 certified?
Yes, this extinguisher is Kitemarked to BS EN3, the European standard for portable fire extinguishers. This certification confirms the extinguisher has been independently tested and verified to meet stringent performance, reliability and safety requirements, ensuring it will perform effectively when needed.
What maintenance does a water mist fire extinguisher require?
Like all fire extinguishers, water mist units require annual servicing by a qualified technician to ensure they remain in good working order. The service includes checking the pressure gauge, inspecting the cylinder for damage or corrosion, examining seals and safety components, and verifying the unit is fully charged and ready for use. Extended servicing is required every five years involving internal inspection.
