First Strike 2.4 Gal. (9L) Water Fire Extinguisher

2.4 Gal. Water Portable Fire Extinguisher — 40 ft Range for Class A Hazards

The Strike First SF-PW250 is a 2.4-gallon (9L) pressurized water fire extinguisher engineered for Class A fire hazards involving wood, paper, and cloth. Built with a polished stainless steel cylinder and chrome-plated solid brass valve, it is designed for demanding environments including warehouses, agricultural facilities, and industrial locations. With a 40 ft (12.2 m) discharge range and 55-second discharge time, it delivers a powerful water stream capable of reaching areas other extinguisher types cannot. It carries a UL/ULC 2-A rating and meets ANSI/UL 626 & 711, CAN/ULC-S507 & S508, NFPA 10, and D.O.T. requirements.

Technical Specifications

Unlike dry chemical extinguishers, the SF-PW250's water stream reaches a full 40 ft, allowing operators to attack Class A fires from a safe distance without the residue cleanup associated with powder-based agents. Shipped empty without pressure and equipped with a Schrader valve, it can be pressurized on-site, simplifying storage and transport logistics for contractors and facility managers.

Key Features & Benefits

Polished Stainless-Steel Construction

The cylinder, handles, and siphon tube are all stainless steel, providing corrosion resistance in harsh warehouse, agricultural, and industrial environments. A protective skirt is included to guard the base of the cylinder against impact damage.

Chrome-Plated Solid Brass Valve

The solid brass valve with chrome plating ensures reliable operation and long-term durability under repeated use and inspection cycles. This construction is well-suited to facilities where extinguishers may be exposed to moisture or temperature fluctuations.

Waterproof Stainless Steel Gauge

The waterproof gauge allows accurate pressure readings even in wet or outdoor-adjacent environments. Contractors and safety inspectors can quickly verify readiness without removing the unit from its wall bracket.

Oversized Stainless Steel Pull Pin with Retaining Strap

The oversized pull pin is designed for easier and faster activation under stress, reducing the time to first discharge in an emergency. The retaining strap keeps the pin secured during transport and routine inspections.

Color and Bar-Coded Labels

Color and bar-coded labeling supports accurate service tracking and compliance documentation, which is essential for facilities subject to NFPA 10 inspection requirements. This simplifies annual service records for safety managers overseeing multiple units.

Shipped Empty — Schrader Valve Pressurization

The unit ships empty without pressure, reducing shipping hazards and simplifying storage prior to deployment. The Schrader valve allows the cylinder to be filled and pressurized on-site using standard equipment.

Common Applications

Warehouse Facilities

Warehouses storing cardboard, pallets, and paper goods present significant Class A fire risk; the SF-PW250's 40 ft range allows personnel to engage a fire from a safe standoff distance in open floor environments.

Agricultural Locations

Barns, storage sheds, and agricultural buildings with hay, wood, and fabric materials are prime Class A environments where a water extinguisher is the appropriate suppression agent.

Industrial Facilities

Manufacturing and industrial sites with combustible Class A materials such as wood crating, cloth, or paper packaging benefit from the extended discharge time and range of the SF-PW250.
