From Thomas Glover & Company, the Gloria 3 litre wet chemical fire extinguisher has all of the approvals that you will need to satisfy your insurance and Fire Regulation requirements for your commercial kitchen. It also comes complete with a wall hanging bracket and a plastic base if you decide to use an extinguisher stand.

 

A wet chemical fire extinguisher is the only one designed to fight deep fat fryer fires in kitchens. A new fire class called Class F was developed to cover these as they are so common and so many kitchens have the wrong extinguisher (AFFF foam and powder will not do the job but will make the fire worse). Gloria extinguishers can be maintained and refilled by any qualified service company.

 

For Fire Regulations, you need to carry out a fire risk assessment. That assessment should tell you what the fire risks are in fire classes such as Class A, B, C, and F (there is no Class E and D covers flammable metals). To cover the inevitable electrical fire risks in your kitchen, a wet chemical unit should be accompanied with a CO2 fire extinguisher.
