Overview

• A fire extinguisher is bought once and then hangs for years awaiting a moment that may never come — and across those years dust, moisture and chemical vapours work on it quietly. The usual outcome in industrial facilities is that the extinguisher is condemned at periodic inspection not because it has discharged, but because its body has corroded, its bracket has rusted, or its label has been obscured to the point where its instructions can no longer be read. The SOCAMA cover for fire extinguishers is designed to prevent that course.
• Covering a piece of emergency equipment does, however, raise a fair question: does the cover not obstruct access when it is needed? That is exactly what this cover's design addresses, in three respects.
• First: a transparent window that removes the need to take the cover off. Periodic inspection of extinguishers requires sight of the pressure gauge and of the label, and if that meant removing and refitting a cover on every extinguisher, the inspection would become a chore that gets skipped. Every model therefore carries a stitched transparent PVC window that does not detach easily, in two options: a slit window measuring 13.3 × 8.5 cm, or a slit running top to bottom across a third of the cover for anyone wanting a wider view of the extinguisher body and its label.
• Second: the cover announces the extinguisher rather than hiding it. Its colour is red, matching the extinguisher itself, and it is printed with "FIRE EXTG." and "KEEP CLEAR" so the extinguisher's position stays visible from a distance and its surroundings stay clear. Information and logo printing is available in white and black for anyone wanting to add the facility name or the extinguisher number.
• Third: removal in seconds. The opening side closes with fastening tapes that pull away in a single movement rather than a zip or buttons that take time, and a 25 mm PP strap runs across the top for quick lifting and hanging.
• The material is red polyester Oxford at 310 GSM, weatherproof and water repellent (WR) on the outside and PVC coated on the back, with all edges and inner edges stitched with black polyester banding. The cover material holds SABER certification from an accredited laboratory to GSO 1956:2009. It is available in standard wall-mounted and trolley (box) models, for ABC powder, foam and CO2 extinguishers, in standard sizes from 10 to 100 lbs and trolley sizes up to 150 lbs, with custom sizes available to order. Made in the United Arab Emirates. Available through Al-Najma Al-Wataniyah with guaranteed quality and fast delivery across Riyadh, Dammam, and all KSA regions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Does the cover not obstruct access to the extinguisher during a fire?

• The cover is specifically designed to avoid that, in three ways: its red colour matches the extinguisher and it carries the FIRE EXTG. and KEEP CLEAR wording, so the position stays visible from a distance; the opening side closes with fastening tapes that pull away in a single movement rather than a zip or buttons; and the top lifting strap makes it easy to pull off. Even so, the authority having jurisdiction (Civil Defence) remains the reference on whether covers may be used within your facility.

Q2: Can the extinguisher be inspected without removing the cover?

• Yes, and that is the primary purpose of the transparent window. Every model carries a stitched PVC window allowing sight of the pressure gauge and of the label on the periodic round. Two options are available: a slit window of 13.3 × 8.5 cm, or a slit running top to bottom across a third of the cover for a wider view of the extinguisher body.

Q3: What does the cover actually protect against?

• Against dust, mud and moisture, and against metal corrosion caused by highly reactive chemical vapours in industrial atmospheres. The material is 310 GSM polyester Oxford, weatherproof and water repellent on the outside and PVC coated on the back. The practical effect is that the extinguisher keeps a readable label and a sound body to the end of its service life, instead of being condemned early at inspection because of corrosion.

Q4: How do I choose the right size for my extinguishers?

• The size is chosen by extinguisher capacity as shown in the size table: from 10 lbs (4 kg) up to 100 lbs (50 kg) in the normal model, and from 50 lbs (25 kg) up to 150 lbs (75 kg) in the trolley model. Before ordering, measure the extinguisher height and its widest point including the hose and handle to confirm. Custom-made sizes are available for extinguishers with non-standard dimensions.

Q5: Can the facility logo be printed on the cover?

• Yes, information and logo printing is available in white and black, and the facility name or the extinguisher number can be added for inventory and tracking. A minimum order quantity applies according to size on printed orders, and our sales team sets it when preparing the quotation.
