Keep your facility fire-ready while minimizing costs with the Amerex 495 50 lbs Stored Pressure Wheeled ABC Fire Extinguisher. This large-capacity, portable extinguisher is designed for large facilities with extra-high risks of Class A (ordinary combustibles), B (flammable liquid/gas), and C (electrical equipment) fires. Amerex stored pressure extinguishers are less expensive to purchase, maintain, and service, and are as reliable as cartridge-operated units. With a UL rating of 20A:160B:C, the firefighting power of the Amerex 495 is equal to that of 25 gallons of water. One unit can suppress 160 square feet of Class B fires. With a cage-type design and well-balanced platform, the carriage of the Amerex 495 keeps the cylinder secured and protected during transportation and operation.
Multi-purpose ABC agent. The Amerex 495 contains 50 pounds of the ABC dry chemical agent, a unique, specially fluidized and siliconized mono ammonium phosphate dry chemical that is yellow in color. It insulates Class A fires and smothers and breaks the chain reaction of Class B fires. It will not conduct electricity back to the operator. The ABC agent is free-flowing, non-abrasive, water-repellent, and does not produce toxic effects when used. It can produce mild corrosion when mixed with moisture in post-fire situations, making prompt cleanup extremely important. The Amerex 495 has a discharge range of 25-35 feet and a discharge time of 35 seconds.
Portable and user-friendly. All Amerex wheeled extinguishers are designed to be as compact as possible to make them easy to maneuver and transport in narrow hallways, doorways, and confined spaces by a single operator. The 16” semi-pneumatic rubber tires of the Amerex 495 are easy to use on rough, uneven terrains. It comes with a 50 ft hose for easy and safe agent application, and it is labeled with a large instruction pictogram and a UL/ULC label with a QR code. The stored pressure design keeps the chemical and pressure sealed in the agent cylinder, always protected from contamination and ready to be discharged anytime.
