Wet Chemical Extinguisher Application Wand Nozzle

-- Steady & Reliable Manufacturer --

Introduction: Gentle, Splatter-Reducing Agent Delivery

The Wet Chemical Application Wand Nozzle is the specialized discharge assembly mandatory for Class K fire extinguishers. Its unique design is engineered to deliver the Potassium  Acetate agent gently and evenly as a fine, dispersed mist rather than a solid stream. This gentle application is critical because commercial cooking oils burn at extremely high temperatures (≈700∘F).

If a traditional solid stream were used, the water content in the wet chemical agent would instantly vaporize, leading to a violent reaction that could cause the burning hot oil to splatter and spread the fire, potentially injuring the operator. The nozzle is attached to a long, flexible wand or hose, allowing the user to apply the mist safely from a distance, maximizing the saponification and cooling effects without agitation.

The wand itself is typically chrome-plated brass or stainless steel for corrosion resistance against the alkaline wet chemical agent.

Advantage: Safety, Splatter Prevention, and Effective Saponification

  • User Safety: The long wand maintains a safe distance, and the mist pattern eliminates the risk of hot oil splashback.
  • Optimal Agent Delivery: The mist covers the oil surface rapidly, maximizing the chemical reaction (saponification) that forms the flame-smothering soap layer.
  • Corrosion Resistance: Chrome-plated or stainless steel construction protects the assembly from the alkaline wet chemical agent and the greasy kitchen environment.
  • Accurate Targeting: The flexibility of the wand allows precise placement of the mist over the fire, even in deep fryer wells.
  • Minimal Damage: The light mist prevents damage to surrounding kitchen equipment or structures compared to a forceful dry chemical discharge.
  • Code Compliance: The specialized design is mandated by fire codes (NFPA 10) for Class  K hazards.

Critical Use in Commercial Cooking

Deep Fat Fryers

Mandatory for suppressing fires in commercial fryers without causing the super-heated oil to violently splatter or explode.

Commercial Grills and Woks

Used to apply the cooling and saponifying agent gently onto burning grease build-up.

Food Service Safety

Ensures the unit is operable by kitchen staff, allowing safe application from a comfortable distance.

Hood Suppression Backup

The portable unit serves as a critical manual backup if the automatic kitchen hood system fails to fully extinguish the fire.

Marine Galleys

Used on ships and cruise lines where kitchen fires pose a severe threat in confined spaces.

Professional Usage Tips

  1. Nozzle Check:

    During inspection, check the nozzle tip for any clogs from grease or agent residue that could disrupt the mist pattern.

  2. Wand Kinking:

    Ensure the flexible hose/wand is not stored in a tightly kinked position which could stress the internal reinforcement.

  3. Full Discharge:

    Instruct users to discharge the entire unit; the saponification blanket must remain in place for permanent suppression.

  4. Cleanliness:

    Wipe the wand assembly clean of excess kitchen grease and oil that could attract debris or degrade the hose material.

  5. Gentle Sweep:

    Emphasize the need to operate with a slow, gentle sweeping motion rather than a rapid, forceful discharge.

FAQ

Mist avoids the violent splatter that occurs when water in the agent hits super-heated cooking oil.

It connects directly to the discharge port of the Class  K valve body via a swivel or fixed coupling.

Usually chrome-plated brass or stainless steel to resist the alkaline nature of the wet chemical agent.

The pressurized liquid is forced through a very small orifice and internal mesh/filter, causing it to atomize.

The Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for these specialized assemblies is typically 5,000 units.

Optimal length (e.g., 2 feet) is a compromise between safe stand-off distance and ease of storage/handling.

Yes, the nozzle orifice and connection seals should be inspected for corrosion or blockage every inspection cycle.

No. The design is optimized for liquid mist; it would not effectively disperse dry chemical powder.

The filter/mesh prevents small agent particles or debris from clogging the fine discharge orifice.

Yes, the wand is usually a flexible, reinforced hose covered by the corrosion-resistant outer material.
