Product Specification

Polyester Waterproof Dustproof Fire Extinguisher Cover with Reflective Strip and Drawstring Closure for 6kg Cylinder

This lightweight yet durable polyester fire extinguisher cover is purpose-built for 6kg cylinders used in commercial buildings, retail spaces, schools, and light industrial facilities. The cover shell is constructed from 300-denier polyester fabric with a waterproof PU coating that effectively sheds rain, splashes, and cleaning overspray while forming a barrier against airborne dust, dirt, and grime. A standout feature is the silver reflective safety strip running vertically along the cover body, which catches light from torches, emergency lighting, and vehicle headlamps, making the extinguisher instantly locatable in darkened corridors, basements, or during power outages. The elastic drawstring closure at the base cinches tightly around the cylinder neck with a spring-loaded cord lock, providing a secure, rattle-free fit that can be released in seconds for emergency access. Designed as a practical and cost-effective protection solution, this cover meets the requirements of NFPA 10 for physical protection of extinguishers in exposed locations.

Key Specifications

Application Environments

The 6kg fire extinguisher is the most commonly installed portable extinguisher size in commercial and institutional settings, and this cover is tailored specifically for those environments. Typical deployment sites include office buildings and corporate headquarters, retail stores and shopping centers, primary and secondary schools, restaurants and commercial kitchens, hotel corridors and guest floors, healthcare clinics and medical offices, underground parking facilities, and public transportation terminals. The reflective safety strip is particularly valuable in locations where ambient lighting may be compromised during a fire emergency, such as basements, stairwells, and windowless interior hallways. The compact 6kg format paired with this lightweight cover ensures that the extinguisher remains both protected and instantly accessible, complying with NFPA 10 physical damage protection requirements.

Product Features and Benefits

• High-Visibility Reflective Strip: A 25mm-wide silver reflective tape is permanently bonded along the full height of the cover. This passive safety feature catches and returns light from emergency lighting, torches, and headlamps, helping first responders and building occupants locate the extinguisher within seconds in smoke-filled or darkened conditions.
• Quick-Release Drawstring System: The elastic drawstring at the base, combined with a one-touch spring cord lock, creates a snug seal against dust and moisture while allowing instant release. A single pull on the cord loosens the cover for immediate extinguisher access—no zippers to jam or Velcro to peel.
• Lightweight Polyester Construction: At just 0.20 kg, the cover adds negligible weight to wall-mounted brackets. The 300D polyester with PU coating provides excellent tear resistance and waterproof performance without the bulk of heavier fabrics, making it ideal for high-volume commercial deployments.
• Cost-Effective Protection: Designed for budget-conscious facility managers who need reliable waterproof and dustproof protection at scale, this cover delivers essential functionality without premium material costs, enabling building-wide deployment across dozens or hundreds of extinguisher stations.
• Snag-Free Interior Finish: The smooth inner lining prevents the cover from catching on pressure gauges, handles, or mounting brackets during installation and removal, ensuring consistent, trouble-free operation during monthly inspections.
• UV-Stabilized Fabric Treatment: The polyester fabric is treated with UV inhibitors to resist fading, embrittlement, and degradation from prolonged exposure to fluorescent lighting and indirect sunlight commonly found in commercial building environments.
