Amerex manufactures an extensive variety of hand portable and wheeled fire extinguishers, both “compliance” (code required) and “specialty” types. “Specialty” type extinguishers are intended for use on particular types of hazards, so careful attention should be made to locating them in close proximity to the specific hazard they are meant to protect. It is natural for a person to use the extinguisher located nearest to a fire. The most current issue of NFPA-10 should be consulted for minimum recommended fire extinguisher types, placement and travel distances.

All Amerex extinguishers are manufactured and tested to ANSI/UL Standards.

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/Anti-freeze charge. In areas with a high level chloride content water it may be corrosion protected by using the Model 507 charge.

Note: The Model  240 may be freeze protected to -40°F by adding a Model 506 Anti-Freeze charge

ABC or Multi-Purpose extinguishers utilize a specially fluidized and siliconized mono ammonium phosphate dry chemical. It chemically insulates Class A fires by melting at approximately 350°F and coats 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. Available in Wheeled and Stationary extinguishers.

Dependable Drawn Steel Cylinders

• All Metal Valve Construction
• Easy and more economical to maintain and service

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 will not conduct electricity back to the operator.
