FSP · P-02
What it is
Amerex B402C is a 5 lb ABC dry chemical fire extinguisher rated 3A:40B:C for ordinary combustibles, flammable liquids and gases, and live electrical equipment. Discharge runs 14 seconds with an initial range of 12 to 18 ft at 195 PSIG. The agent is a specially fluidized and siliconized mono ammonium phosphate that melts and coats the burning surface, insulating Class A fuel and breaking the chain reaction on Class B fires. The cylinder is drawn-steel with an anodized aluminum valve body, anodized aluminum handle and lever. A wall and vehicle bracket ships with the extinguisher. The operating temperature range is −65°F to 120°F.
A bright chrome cylinder makes the Amerex B402C the ABC extinguisher to choose when appearance matters as much as protection. Behind the finish sits proven hardware: 5 lb of multipurpose dry chemical rated 3A:40B:C by UL, controlled by a light- to medium-duty anodized aluminum valve body with matching anodized aluminum handle and lever.
- Chrome cylinder styling for lobbies, showrooms, and specialty vehicles
- All-metal valve construction designed for longevity
- Chemically insulates Class A fires, melting at approximately 350°F to coat the burning surface
- Smothers Class B fires and breaks the chain reaction without conducting electricity back to the operator
