FSP · P-02
What it is
Amerex B456C is a 10 lb ABC dry chemical fire extinguisher rated 4A:80B:C for ordinary combustibles, flammable liquids and gases, and live electrical equipment. Discharge runs 22 seconds with an initial range of 15 to 21 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 bracket ships with the extinguisher. The operating temperature range is −65°F to 120°F.

UL rated 4A:80B:C, the B456C chemically insulates Class A fires by melting at approximately 350°F and coating the surface it is applied to, smothers Class B fires by breaking the chain reaction, and will not conduct electricity back to the operator.
