Amerex B461C 6 lb ABC Dry Chemical Fire Extinguisher - Chrome
FSP · P-02
What it is
Amerex B461C is a 6 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 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 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.
Polished chrome cylinders belong in spaces where equipment is part of the decor, and the B461C puts a full 6 lb of ABC dry chemical behind that finish. It shares the 3A:40B:C rating and 18.94 inch height of the standard B461, so mounting and code coverage are unchanged. Amerex builds it for longevity with durable high gloss polyester powder paint, all-metal valve construction and chrome cylinders, plus a heavy duty chrome plated brass valve body with stainless steel handle and lever. On Class A fires the agent melts at approximately 350F to chemically insulate and coat the burning surface; on Class B fires it smothers the flame and breaks the chain reaction without conducting electricity back to the operator.
