Semi-recessed stainless steel cabinet for 10 lbs powder fire extinguishers - ideal for the food industry

The EC6ST semi-recessed cabinet by Sylprotec is made of 304 stainless steel with a satin finish. Designed to house 10 lbs ABC dry chemical powder fire extinguishers, it provides robust protection while keeping the extinguisher accessible in case of emergency. Its semi-recessed design integrates the extinguisher discreetly into the wall, freeing floor space without compromising the visibility of the fire safety equipment.

This cabinet is particularly recommended in environments where frequent cleaning is required or where corrosion resistance is a compliance requirement, such as commercial kitchens, food processing plants, laboratories and wet environments. It is manufactured in Canada. Extinguisher not included.

Benefits

304 stainless steel - durability and compliance

304 stainless steel with a satin finish is recognized for its resistance to corrosion, splashes from common chemicals and industrial detergents. Unlike painted steel cabinets, this model withstands deep cleaning protocols without risk of chipping or rusting. It meets the hygiene requirements of many regulated environments, particularly in the food processing and pharmaceutical industries.

The satin finish provides an easy-to-clean and sanitize surface. It is well suited to areas where frequent visual inspections of equipment are required, as the cabinet maintains a clean and professional appearance over time.

Semi-recessed installation - integration and accessibility

This cabinet is designed for walls with a 4-inch depth and a 2-inch return. The semi-recessed installation allows part of the housing to be set into the wall partition while keeping the front door fully accessible. This configuration is ideal when space constraints are a factor, particularly in corridors, production areas or preparation rooms.

The front window allows visual verification of the extinguisher's presence without opening the cabinet. For safety reasons during shipping, the glass panel is not included. It is recommended to contact a local glass shop to cut a pane to the exact dimensions. Glass clips are included with the cabinet.

Dimensions and compatibility

Cabinet dimensions: width 9 in (22.9 cm), height 24 in (61 cm), depth 6 in (15.3 cm). This cabinet is compatible with standard 10 lbs ABC dry chemical powder fire extinguishers. It is also compatible with cabinets and accessories from the Sylprotec product line (EC5, EC5ST, EC6, EC6FR, EC7). A technical data sheet is available in PDF format, attached at the bottom of the page (English only).

Fields of Application

The EC6ST cabinet is designed for demanding environments where the combination of hygiene, durability and rapid access to fire safety equipment is essential. It is particularly suited to food processing plants, commercial kitchens and industrial restaurants, laboratories and pharmaceutical spaces, dairy and meat processing facilities, as well as institutional and hospital buildings where rigorous cleaning protocols are in place.

In these contexts, relevant authorities (including fire prevention inspectors) require that extinguishers be visible, accessible and protected from mechanical damage or contamination. This cabinet meets these requirements while integrating smoothly into the work environment.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose a stainless steel cabinet over a standard painted model?

In food processing and wet industrial environments, painted steel can rust or chip over time, especially under intensive cleaning protocols. 304 stainless steel resists detergents, moisture and impacts, significantly extending the cabinet's service life and avoiding replacement costs. It also complies with the hygiene requirements of many industry standards.

Is the glass panel included with the cabinet?

No. For safety reasons during shipping, the front glass panel is not included. Glass clips are provided. It is recommended to have a glass pane cut to the exact dimensions at a local glass shop. Interior window dimensions are available in the technical data sheet attached to the page.

Can this cabinet accommodate extinguisher types other than 10 lbs powder?

This cabinet is designed specifically for standard 10 lbs ABC dry chemical powder extinguishers. For extinguishers of different sizes (5 lbs, water, CO2), refer to other models in the Sylprotec product line: EC5ST for 5 lbs stainless steel, EC6 or EC6FR for 10 lbs painted steel, or EC7 for 10 lbs water or CO2 extinguishers.
