The Amerex 5 lbs Multi-Purpose ABC Fire Extinguisher with Aluminum Valve (3A:40B:C) are 3-in-1 fire extinguishers that can effectively stop fires involving ordinary combustibles (e.g., paper and wood), flammable gas and liquids, and electrical equipment in small to medium spaces such as offices, schools, hospitals, homes, and cars. With a UL rating of 3A:40B:C, their firefighting power equals that of 3.75 gallons of water, and they are able to stop 40 square feet of Class B fires.
Superior firefighting power. Like all Amerex ABC fire extinguishers, these 5 lbs ABC extinguishers use a unique, specially fluidized and siliconized mono ammonium phosphate dry chemical that insulates Class A fires by melting at approximately 350°F, smothers and breaks the chain reaction of Class B fires, and does not conduct electricity back to the operator. When sprayed, all 5 lbs ABC fire extinguishers can last up to 14 seconds and reach 12 to 18 feet.
Rugged, reliable build. Amerex is known for its high-quality fire extinguishers that are guaranteed to last long with proper maintenance and service. The 5 lbs ABC extinguishers feature a stored pressure design with sturdy steel cylinders, high-gloss polyester powder paint, and anodized aluminum valve body, handle, and lever. The all-metal construction makes the extinguishers durable enough to withstand fire and future recharge unlike fire extinguishers with plastic parts. On top of the usual nozzle, these extinguishers come with a hose that makes it easy to aim at the fire while holding the extinguisher upright. The Amerex ABC fire extinguishers are safe to use in temperatures ranging from -65°F to 120°F.
Mounting options. Depending on the package you choose, your fire extinguisher can come with a wall bracket or vehicle/marine bracket. The red metal wall bracket is sturdy and easy to mount while the vehicle/marine bracket is a US Coast Guard-approved mounting bracket suitable for marine, vehicle, and aviation applications. Before mounting, please refer to the user manual for the manufacturer’s mounting instructions.
As with all Amerex products, the Amerex 5 lbs Multi-Purpose ABC Fire Extinguisher with Aluminum Valve (3A:40B:C) are ANSI/UL approved and manufactured to standards under ISO-9002. All Amerex ABC fire extinguishers are QR-coded, have bilingual labels, and contain required HMIS information.
