Dry Powder Extinguisher Instructions sign confirms four fire types it is safe to use on
This sign pairs the dry powder extinguisher pictogram with four green ticks, confirming at a glance that it is safe to use on wood, paper and textile fires, live electrical equipment, gaseous fires and flammable liquids. It is available in two sizes and five materials, so it can be matched to the wall, post or barrier it needs fixing to.
Key features
-
Four-way tick guidance - confirms the extinguisher is safe for wood, paper and textile fires, live electrical equipment, gaseous fires and flammable liquids.
-
Two sizes - 150mm x 200mm or 200mm x 300mm, to suit the viewing distance.
-
Five materials - from flexible self-adhesive vinyl through to photoluminescent PVC.
-
Fixing matched to the material - adhesive backing, drill holes, or a channel on vinyl composite.
-
Red, white and blue colourway - the standard format for dry powder extinguisher instructions signage.
Where it is used
Fix the sign next to a dry powder extinguisher so anyone reaching for it in an emergency knows straight away what it is safe for:
- Hotels and hospitality venues
- Warehouses and industrial units
- Apartment blocks and other communal buildings
- Commercial kitchens
- Laboratories and testing facilities
Sizes and materials
150mm x 200mm suits close-range viewing, fixed right beside the extinguisher; step up to 200mm x 300mm where the sign needs reading from further back. Self-adhesive vinyl fixes straight onto a clean, flat wall. Rigid PVC (1mm or 3mm) and foam PVC are both lightweight panels for screw fixing. Vinyl composite is the most durable option outdoors, and photoluminescent PVC keeps glowing once the lights go out.
Fixing options
Self-adhesive vinyl comes with its own high-tack backing. Rigid PVC, foam PVC and photoluminescent PVC fix through drill holes. Vinyl composite also offers a horizontal or vertical channel, for mounting to posts or bars such as car park barriers or gates.
