Amerex B402T 5 lb ABC Dry Chemical Fire Extinguisher with Vehicle Bracket, Modified Valve
FSP · P-02
What it is
Amerex B402T 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.
Built to the same UL listing as the standard B402T, this modified-valve production variant delivers identical 3A:40B:C protection from 5 lb of specially fluidized and siliconized mono ammonium phosphate dry chemical. The agent chemically insulates Class A fires by melting at approximately 350°F to coat the burning surface, smothers Class B fires by breaking the chain reaction, and will not conduct electricity back to the operator. An included vehicle bracket readies it for truck and equipment mounting, and every unit is made in the U.S.A.
