Nite-Glo Foam Fire Extinguisher Signs
The Nite-Glo Foam Fire Extinguisher Information Sign tells you when a foam extinguisher can be used on wood, paper, textiles and flammable liquids, while warning against live electrical equipment and metal fires. It helps workplaces make quicker, safer choices near extinguisher points.
Best Locations for Nite-Glo Foam Extinguisher Guidance
You should install this sign directly above or beside foam extinguishers in corridors, workshops, warehouses, offices, schools, plant rooms and shared fire points, so the extinguisher type, safe fire classes and misuse warnings are visible before anyone lifts the unit.
Viewing Distance for Clear Foam Extinguisher Decisions
Use the sign where it can be read without stepping into the fire risk area. For compact extinguisher stations, keep the sign at eye level and avoid placing it behind doors, shelving or stacked stock.
| Size option | Typical viewing distance | Best use |
|---|---|---|
| H 100 x W 150mm | Up to 5 metres | Close-range extinguisher points, stands and wall-mounted equipment |

Practical Fitting Advice for Foam Extinguisher Information Signs

❌ Do not place it beside the wrong extinguisher type, as that creates unsafe hesitation.
❌ Do not rely on the extinguisher colour band alone in busy or shared areas.
❌ Do not use it for CO2, powder, water mist or wet chemical extinguisher points.
❌ Do not use it where the extinguisher has been removed or relocated.
❌ Do not fit it outdoors where weather exposure can damage unsupported materials.
✅ Position it directly above the foam extinguisher handle line for fast recognition.
✅ Keep the sign facing the normal approach route, not just the wall surface.
✅ Check visibility during fire drills, cleaning rounds and weekly extinguisher inspections.
