Class F Aluminium Fire Extinguisher Signs
This Class F Aluminium Fire Extinguisher Sign helps you identify a wet chemical extinguisher for cooking oil fire risks in commercial kitchens, canteens and food preparation areas, so staff can recognise the correct equipment quickly and avoid losing time at the fire point.
Best Places To Fit This Class F Extinguisher Sign
Install it directly above or next to the wet chemical extinguisher, especially beside fryers, cooking ranges, kitchen exits and fire points. It needs to sit at eye level where staff approach the extinguisher, so the Class F use and 1 metre instruction are read before anyone acts.
Viewing Distance For A Clear Kitchen Fire Point
Use viewing distance as a practical siting check, not as a substitute for good placement. A 300 x 100mm vertical sign is best used where people are already close to the extinguisher, typically from around 1–3 metres in normal kitchen lighting.
| Size option | Practical viewing range | Best use |
|---|---|---|
| H 300 x W 100mm | Around 1–3 metres | Close-range wall or extinguisher stand positions |
What Improves Once The Sign Is Fitted
Once fitted, the sign turns the extinguisher area into a clear decision point: staff can see it is for cooking oil fires, recognise the wet chemical type and understand the distance message before trying to tackle a small, early-stage fire.

Fit It Where The Decision Is Made
❌ Mounting it too low behind equipment where fryer lids, trolleys or stock hide it.
❌ Placing it on a nearby wall that is not clearly connected to the wet chemical extinguisher.
❌ Covering screw holes with tape, leaving loose edges or an uneven finish.
❌ Do not use it as a general extinguisher sign for foam, CO₂, powder or water units.
❌ Do not rely on it in dark escape routes because this version is non-photoluminescent.
❌ Do not fit it where steam, grease build-up or repeated impact will quickly obscure the face.
✅ Install it above or beside the wet chemical extinguisher at a clear viewing height.
✅ Keep the message facing the approach route staff would use during a kitchen incident.
✅ Recheck after cleaning, equipment moves or extinguisher servicing so the sign still matches the unit.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Class F Aluminium Fire Extinguisher Sign right for a wet chemical extinguisher? Yes. It is designed to identify a wet chemical extinguisher used for cooking oil fire risks, so it belongs with the correct extinguisher rather than a general fire point.
Can I fit this beside deep fat fryers? Yes, provided it is fixed where staff can see it before reaching the extinguisher. Do not hide it behind fryers, shelving, cleaning equipment or stock.
Is this suitable for dark corridors or power-loss areas? This version is non-photoluminescent. If you need visibility in darkness or poor lighting, choose a photoluminescent option instead.
Does this replace extinguisher training? No. It supports quick recognition and correct selection, but staff still need proper fire safety instruction and should only tackle a fire when it is safe to do so.
Can it be used outdoors? Yes, the display area is listed for indoors/outdoors. Fit it securely, keep it close to the wet chemical extinguisher and check visibility after cleaning, weather exposure or site changes.

Compare Class F Sign Materials and Layouts
For a non-aluminium landscape option, compare the wet chemical Class F landscape sign before deciding. Useful when layout is more important than finish.
If low-light identification is your concern, consider the Nite-Glo wet chemical extinguisher portrait sign for nearby fire points. Helpful where visibility and quick recognition matter.
