Manufactured in Great Britain by Britannia, each P50 Fireworld fire extinguisher is virtually indestructible, thanks to its construction of polyethylene and Aramid fibre (Kevlar®). This guarantees it won't corrode, distinguishing it from standard steel extinguishers. Its durability allows for both indoor and outdoor use, all while maintaining a lightweight yet incredibly robust build. With an extraordinary 20-year lifespan, it requires factory refurbishment at the 10-year mark, contributing to waste reduction and is fully recyclable at the end of its service life.
Conducting maintenance on the 9kg Powder P50 Fire Extinguisher is a straightforward process, thanks to clear instructions printed on the back. You can effortlessly log the maintenance using a marker pen, plus there is an app available for Google and Apple devices which you can use to register and log annual maintenance. The extinguisher is equipped with a pressure regulation gauge and an additional one for added assurance. Additionally, a special magnet is provided to verify the functionality of both gauges.
Suitable for workshops, factories, warehouses, building sites, boats, and anywhere with flammable liquids or gases.
Types of fire include Class A (wood, paper, cloth, etc), B (flammable liquids), C (flammable gas), and fire involving electrical equipment (tested to 1000V).
Anticipated lifespan with indoor use and proper maintenance - 10 years, with an additional 10 years after factory refurbishment.
Please Note: You should still have your new self-service P50 extinguishers commissioned and installed by an extinguisher technician.
British Standard 5306-8:2012 for the Selection and Positioning of Portable Fire Extinguishers
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.

- Visually checking the gauge is reading in the green segment and the safety pin and tamper tag are in place.
- Removing the magnet from the base of the unit and checking the magnetic gauge (the needle should move to show it is not stuck and reading the correct pressure).
- Check the extinguisher is within the life expectancy by the colour date stud.
- Sign the back of the extinguisher with a permanent marker pen.
