Firechief XTR Wet Chemical Fire Extinguisher Overview

The FireChief XTR Wet Chemical Fire Extinguisher is designed for use on Class F fires involving cooking oils and fats. The Wet Chemical rapidly knocks the flames out, cools the burning oil and seals the surface to prevent re-ignition.

Independent fire tests have established that it is capable of extinguishing a fire in a 75 litre deep fat fryer. The extinguisher is easy to use, producing a gentle but highly effective spray which helps prevent oil from splashing onto the user.

This Fire Extinguisher offers protection against class A, B and F type fires.

PDI Inspection A PDI inspection on a fire extinguisher stands for Pre-Delivery Inspection. It’s the safety and quality check performed before an extinguisher is handed over to the customer. Here’s what it involves:
No dents, rust, corrosion, or paint damage	No signs of leakage	Safety pin and tamper seal intact
The manufacturer’s label is present, legible and in English	Extinguisher matches UK/EU/BS standards (e.g. BS EN 3)	Check the pressure gauge is in the green zone
Correct hose and nozzle supplied	Wall bracket or stand included	The extinguisher is weighed

Commissioning

Commissioning is the process of making a new fire extinguisher ready for service. In the UK, commissioning is required by BS 5306-3 and must be carried out onsite by a competent fire extinguisher technician.

Checking the extinguisher for damage or defects

Pressure gauge is in the green zone and checked using an equalisation pressure tester

Verifying the hose, nozzle, and pins are assembled to British Standards

Making sure the extinguisher is appropriate for the location

Adding identification signs

Completing the service label and certification

Commission & Fit
Installing a wall bracket or stand and adding required signage	Ensuring correct mounting height	Placing the extinguisher in the correct location (escape routes, fire points, etc.)

Certified Disposal of Old Extinguishers

Certified disposal is a service that ensures your old extinguishers are removed in full compliance with UK regulations, regardless of the extinguishing agent. By arranging certified disposal at the same time as buying new extinguishers, or after a service, everything is carried out by the same provider. Saving compliance headaches.

Disposing of old extinguishers under UK regulations

Using certified, registered waste facilities

Receiving certified legal disposal documentation

Q. What classification of fire should a wet chemical fire extinguisher be used on?

A. Wet chemical fire extinguishers are designed to combat fires involving combustible cooking oils and fats, often found in kitchens or restaurants.

Q. How does wet chemical fire extinguisher work?

A. Wet chemical fire extinguishers contain a specially formulated extinguishing agent. This extinguishant, when dispersed, will react with oil to form a soapy substance. This process is called saponification. Saponification of the extinguishing agent will produce a cooling blanket which seals the surface of the fuel to prevent reignition and spreading.

Q. What colour is a wet chemical fire extinguisher?

A. The labels on wet chemical fire extinguishers are yellow, making them easy to distinguish from other types of extinguishers. The word 'wet chemical' will be printed in large white letters across the label.

Q. What type of business would typically use a wet chemical fire extinguisher?

A. Restaurants, fast food outlets, chip shops, kitchens and any business that uses oil or cooking fats.

Q. Do your extinguishers come fully serviced and ready to use on delivery?

A. All our portable fire extinguishers are supplied ready for use, but those with larger capacities may need to be filled and charged prior to the first time they’re used. The product listing will explain this clearly.

Q. What type of fire extinguisher do I need?
