Class AK portable extinguisher for commercial kitchens
The 1.6-gallon (6-litre) wet chemical portable extinguisher is ULC 1AK rated and designed for class A fires (wood, paper, fabric) and class K fires (kitchen fires: cooking oils and greases). It is ideal for commercial kitchens and restaurants.
Its wet chemical agent reacts with oils and greases to form a soapy foam (saponification) that smothers the fire and prevents re-ignition. The cylinder is mirror-finish stainless steel and has been pressure-tested. This Strike-First extinguisher is compatible with automatic suppression systems and kitchen hood systems, and designed for indoor use.

FAQ about the class AK kitchen extinguisher
What does class K mean?
Class K refers to cooking oil and grease fires (fryers, woks, grills), typical of commercial kitchens. The wet chemical agent is especially effective on these.
Is it compatible with a kitchen hood?
Yes, it is designed to complement automatic suppression systems and kitchen hood systems.
Why also class A?
Its 1AK rating lets it also act on solid-material fires (wood, paper, fabric), in addition to kitchen fires.
