Pains Wessex's 100 years of pyrotechnic production has made them world renowned for their reliability and superior quality products. Pains Wessex flares are up to 30 times brighter than its competition. Designed to withstand the toughest of marine environments, hand-held flares are short range distress signals. These distress signals meet the various specifications of the SOLAS, U.S.C.G., and EC-Type Certificates.
Description
A hand-held red flare designed to withstand exceptional environmental exposure and to perform reliably under extreme conditions. The flare is encased in a steel tube for safety to eliminate damage from burning ashes. For greater operational ease and safety, it is fitted with an integral pull, twist and strike firing mechanism. Additional features of this signal are that waterproofing is achieved without the use of sealing tapes, hence easier operation, and once ignited the flare will continue to operate if immersed in water.
Storage
Should be ideally stored in a heavy-duty, specially designed Pains-Wessex Poly Bottle.
