Amerex B424 5 lb ABC Dry Chemical Fire Extinguisher
FSP · P-02
What it is
Amerex B424 is a 5 lb ABC dry chemical fire extinguisher rated 2A:10B: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 a chrome-plated brass valve body, stainless steel handle and lever. A wall bracket ships with the extinguisher. The operating temperature range is −65°F to 120°F.
Offices, shops, classrooms and stockrooms get a compact all-purpose defender in the Amerex B424. Its 5 lb ABC dry chemical charge chemically insulates Class A fires by melting at approximately 350F and coating the surface to which it is applied, smothers Class B liquid fires and breaks their chain reaction, and will not conduct electricity back to the operator. The 2A:10B:C rating covers all three of those hazard classes. Value shows in the hardware: a brass valve built from a chrome-plated brass valve body with a stainless steel handle and lever, finished with durable high gloss polyester powder paint. Bilingual labels come standard, and the unit stands just over 18 inches tall.
