FSP · P-02
What it is
Amerex B500TS 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.
Vibration is the enemy of every vehicle-mounted extinguisher, which is why the Amerex B500TS ships with a two-strap vehicle bracket. The 5 lb ABC unit is UL rated 2A:10B:C for ordinary combustibles such as cloth, paper, and wood (Class A), flammable liquids and gases (Class B), and live electrical equipment (Class C), and it operates from 12 to 18 feet away.
