Amerex B500TC 5 lb ABC Dry Chemical Fire Extinguisher, Chrome with Vehicle Bracket
FSP · P-02
What it is
Amerex B500TC 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 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.
Pairing a chrome cylinder with an included vehicle bracket, the Amerex B500TC suits rigs where the extinguisher is on display as much as on duty. UL rated 2A:10B:C, this 5 lb ABC unit chemically insulates Class A fires by melting at approximately 350°F to coat the surface it is applied to, and it smothers Class B fires by breaking the chain reaction—without conducting electricity back to the operator.
