A 45 Liter Water Type Fire Extinguisher is a high-capacity firefighting equipment designed for tackling large-scale Class A fires, involving materials such as wood, paper, textiles, and other solid combustibles. These extinguishers are widely used in industrial environments, warehouses, construction sites, and commercial facilities where fire risks are higher.
This type of extinguisher typically works on the principle of cooling the fire, where water absorbs heat and reduces the temperature below the ignition point, effectively extinguishing flames. It is often combined with CO₂ or nitrogen gas as a propellant to discharge water with pressure.
Due to its large 45-liter capacity, the unit is mounted on a trolley with wheels, making it easy to transport despite its weight. It usually comes with a long hose (2–3 meters) and spray nozzle, allowing operators to fight fires from a safe distance.
Typical performance features include:
- Discharge time: 30 to 180 seconds
- Jet range: 6 to 10 meters
- Operating pressure: around 1.5–2 MPa
- High discharge efficiency (~90–95%)
These extinguishers are manufactured as per BIS standards (IS 16018) and are designed with corrosion-resistant coating and heavy-duty steel construction, ensuring long service life even in harsh industrial environments.
⚠️ Important Note:
- Not suitable for electrical fires or flammable liquids
- Should be used only for Class A fire hazards
