Our 9kg Powder Fire Extinguisher may have a budget price, but it has all the approvals you would expect and a 5-year warranty so you know you’re getting the highest quality. With an impressive 34A 183B C fire rating, you’ll often find one of these at a petrol station, on a construction site or a workshop. Plus, as it is suitable for temperatures reaching -20°C, it’s a great choice for any outside location.
Filled with a multi-purpose ABC powder so you can use it to tackle the most common causes of fire, it comes complete with a wall mounting bracket so you have ready to go in no time. Manufactured for Vigil Products and part of their extensive range, the 9kg Dry Powder Extinguisher can boast having the BSI Kitemark, UKCA Approval and CE Mark.
Suitable for building sites, petrol forecourts, large workshops and factories, outdoor environments and anywhere storing flammable liquid.
Types of fire include Class A (wood, paper, cloth, etc), B (flammable liquids), C (gas - but never put out a gas fire if the gas cannot then be turned off) and safe around live electrical equipment.
Anticipated lifespan with indoor use and proper maintenance - 10 years.
Extinguisher Servicing: It’s likely you will need your new 9kg Powder Fire Extinguisher commissioned and then annually serviced. A legal requirement for businesses and rental properties, it’ll often be recommended by your insurance company too. We offer the option of commissioning only, or with wall fixing, where our local engineer will certify and label the extinguisher before issuing a certificate for your compliance.
Worth remembering - when a refill or test is due, at Fire Protection Online prices, a brand-new powder extinguisher costs less than getting one refilled.

The updated British Standard 5306-8:2012 Selection and positioning of portable fire extinguishers – Code of Practice states as follows:
"5.4.3 Use of powder extinguishers: The discharge of a powder extinguisher within buildings can cause a sudden reduction of visibility and can also impair breathing, which could temporarily jeopardize escape, rescue or other emergency action. For this reason, powder extinguishers should generally not be specified for use indoors, unless mitigated by a health and safety risk assessment."
Additionally, when looking to comply with Part 8 of the ADR regulations, ensure you meet the minimum dry powder fire extinguisher provision to suit the size of your vehicle.
If you are not sure what this means, please contact us any time or see our Fire Safety Survey service. Responsible extinguisher service technicians (including ours) may refuse to certify a powder extinguisher that is not suitable for the location.
