Water Extinguishers

Wood, Paper, Textiles, Fabric

Water is still one of the most useful and cost effective of all available fire extinguishers. Both Chubb water extinguishers have a jet type application which produces a concentrated stream enabling the operator to fight a fire from a greater distance than spray nozzle types. Chubb also provides a range of 'Water with Additives' Fire Extinguishers, which are more compact, but can deliver greater fire-fighting capabilities for certain situations.

Chubb water extinguishers achieve the standard fire rating of 13A and are available in both stored pressure and cartridge operated versions.

• Water extinguishers are particularly effective for cooling and penetrating the fire.
• Jet nozzle provides longer fire fighting reach.
• 15 bar working pressure for maximum fire fighting performance gives greater application reach ensuring user safety. (Stored pressure model)

Water is still one of the most useful of all available fire extinguishants. It works through its cooling effect on fire, and under pressure from a controllable-discharge extinguisher, can penetrate and knock out deep-seated Class A fires.

Fire ratings provide a means of measuring the effectiveness of an extinguisher in terms of the maximum size of fire that can be extinguished.

Class A rating is related to a wooden crib fire 0.5m wide x 0.56m high x length.

The rating figure is ten times the length in metres, eg. 13A uses a crib 1.3 metres long.
