Water Co2 Squeeze Grip Gas Cartridge Type
A cartridge-operated water extinguisher. Squeezing the grip pierces a CO2 cartridge, which pressurises the body and expels the water. Because the body is not held under constant pressure, these units are straightforward to inspect and recharge on site. Intended for Class A fires in ordinary combustibles such as paper, wood, textiles and packaging. Suitable for godowns, stores and general premises; not for electrical or flammable liquid fires.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from a stored pressure water extinguisher?
The mechanism. Here a CO2 cartridge is pierced on activation to pressurise the body, rather than the body being kept under pressure permanently. It is simpler to inspect and recharge on site.
What fires is it for?
Class A fires in ordinary combustibles — paper, wood, textiles, packaging.
Can it be used near electrical equipment?
No. It discharges water, which conducts. Use CO2 or a clean agent for electrical risk.
