EXTINGUISHERS

 

ABC - DRY CHEMICAL

These extinguishers have proven their dependability in heavy industry usage and repeated recharging with no essential changes in over 30 years. Coupled with rugged, dependable steel cylinders and stored pressure (gauge type) design. ABC or Multipurpose extinguishers contain a specially fluidized and siliconized mono ammonium phosphate chemical manufactured by Amerex. It chemically insulates Class A fires by melting at approximately 350 degrees F and coats the surface to which it is applied. It smothers and breaks the chain reaction of Class B fires and will not conduct electricity back to the operator.
 

ABC wheeled and stationary extinguishers are available in a variety of types and sizes.

 

 

CARBON DIOXIDE

- SUPERIOR QUALITY -manufactured and tested to ANSI/UL standards. Amerex is an ISO-9002 registered firm.

- RUST FREE ALUMINUM CYLINDERS - up to 30% lighter than steel for use in corrosive environments

- U/L U.S. COAST GUARD LISTED - 6 year warranty

- Bar coded labels for documenting extinguisher locations, inspection, maintenance and recharging

- Complete range of sizes for all hazard requirements

 - TEMPERATURE RANGE: -40° to +120° F

 

CARBON DIOXIDE is discharged as a white cloud of "snow" which smothers a fire by eliminating its oxygen. It is effective for Class B flammable liquid fires and is electrically non-conductive. Carbon Dioxide is a clean, non-contaminating, odorless gas, safe for use on clothing, equipment, valuable documents or food.

Available in 50 and 100 lb. wheeled extinguishers.

Water Mist

Is the ultimate extinguisher for class A fires, especially where a potential Class C (electrical) hazard exists. The fine spray from the unique misting nozzle provides safety from electrical shock, greatly enhances the cooling and soaking characteristics of the agent and reduces scattering of the burning materials. Unequivocally the best extinguisher for hospital environments, telecommunications facilities and "clean room" manufacturing facilities.

User Friendly :

- Wand provides greatest operator safety

- Maximum visibility during discharge

- No electrical conductivity back to the operator

- No thermal or static shock

- Minimal training - simplest to use, least expensive agent available

 

 

Model 240

 

Model 254

 

Model 252

 

WATER AND FOAM

 

Model 240 utilizes the cooling, soaking and penetrating effect of a 45-55 ft. stream of WATER. The 50 sec. discharge time makes it very effective for inexperienced operators for use on Class A fires. Protect from freezing by adding the Model 506 Loaded Stream/ Antifreeze charge. In areas with a high level chloride content water, it may be corrosion

 protected by using the Model 507 charge.

 

Model 254 AFFF FOAM unique 6 liter size fills many requirements for a lighter more compact Class A:B extinguisher. Easy and effective application with the patented spray nozzle. Apply to class B liquid spills to prevent ignition. Ideal for emergency first response vehicles.

 

Model 252 FFFP FOAM adds class B fire fighting capability to the class A effectiveness of this extinguisher. The Alcohol Resistant fire fighting agent is effective on fires in a wide variety of class B materials such as alcohols, polar solvents, hydrocarbons, and combinations such as gasohol. Apply to a non-ignited class B liquid spill and it will seal the surface minimizing the chance of serious fire.

 

 

WET CHEMICAL

Wet Chemical extinguishers are the best restaurant kitchen appliance hand portable fire extinguishers you can purchase. Both have been tested and approved for the new Class K listing by UL specifically for restaurant kitchen hazards. They contain a special potassium acetate based, low PH agent developed for use in pre-engineered restaurant kitchen systems. The recent trend to more efficient cooking appliances and use of unsaturated cooking oils dictates the use of a hand portable fire extinguisher with greater fire fighting capacity and cooling effect to combat these very hot and difficult fires. Available in 2 sizes - 6 liter or 2 1/2 gal. with attractive stainless steel cylinders and easy to use hose and spray applicator nozzle. The superior fire fighting capability of the Wet Chemical agent is placed exactly where you aim it with no chemical residue to clean up. Models B260 & B262 are the ideal "kitchen use" fire extinguishers. They supplement existing cooking equipment automatic system protection for an extra margin of safety.


* Recommended vehicle brackets: Model 810 Box Type or Model 864 H.D. Rubber Strap Type

 

 

REGULAR Dry Chemical

Regular extinguishers contain a siliconized sodium bicarbonate based dry chemical with free flowing and non-caking additives. Economical Class B & C protection with lower initial cost and recharging. This chemical smothers fires in flammable liquids and pressurized gases and is electrically nonconductive. Available in a variety of types and sizes of Wheeled and stationary extinguishers.

*All extinguishers are Coast Guard approved with the bracket(s) listed on the U.L. label

 

 

HALOTRON I "CLEAN AGENT"

HALOTRON I is a "Clean Agent" HydroChloroFluoroCarbon discharged as a rapidly evaporating liquid which leaves no residue. It effectively extinguishes Class A and B fires by cooling and smothering and it will not conduct electricity back to the operator. Halotron is pressurized with Argon gas and is an EPA and FAA approved HCFC blend B agent approved for use on Class A, B and C fires. It has a low Atmospheric Lifetime (3½ to 11 years). Halotron is intended for use in areas formerly protected by Halon 1211 hand portable extinguishers such as computer rooms, telecommunications facilities, clean rooms, data storage areas, offices (for protection of sensitive electronic equipment), boats and vehicles.

 

Model 570

Contains a special blended Sodium Chloride based dry powder extinguishing agent. Heat from the fire causes it to cake and form a crust excluding air and dissipating heat from burning metal. Metal fires involving magnesium, sodium, potassium and sodium-potassium alloys can be successfully extinguished with this extinguisher. There is data showing that zirconium, uranium and powdered aluminum fires can be controlled and extinguished with this unique extinguisher.
Available in a 150 lb. wheeled unit.
Model 571

Contains a copper extinguishing agent specially developed by the U.S. Navy for fighting lithium and lithium alloy fires. The copper compound smothers the fire and provides an excellent heat sink for dissipating heat. Copper powder has been found to be superior to all other known fire extinguishing agents for lithium.
Available in a 250 lb. wheeled unit
