Multi-Purpose Extinguishers
Multi-purpose fire extinguishers are the most common in use today. They are capable of taking care of most fires.
- Monammonium Phosphate dry chemical agent is used in most extinguishers.
- Manufactured to ANSI/UL299 and 711 standards. ISO9001-2000 registered.
- Stored pressure operation generally under 200 lbs PSI.
Typical uses are offices, warehouse areas, woodworking areas, farms, general assembly areas, and homes.
Carbon Dioxide
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) fire extinguishers work by extreme cooling and a reduction of oxygen to the fire. They have a limited range and can be affected by drafts and wind. To be able to fight the fire effectively you need to be able to get close to the source of flames. CO2 fire extinguishers are rated B, C.
- Carbon Dioxide is a gas leaving no residue for clean up.
- Manufactured to ANSI/UL154 and 711 standards. ISO9001-2000 registered.
- Aluminum and steel cylinder with chrome plated valve.
Typical applications are industrial and electrical including refineries, chemical plants, aircraft ramps, construction sites, large laboratories, manufacturing plants, and loading ramps.
Clean Agent
CLEANGUARD Clean Agent Extinguishers are designed for the protection of commercial and industrial facilities that typically contain sensitive or irreplaceable equipment and materials that could be damaged or destroyed by water, foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide. Offering superior performance, CLEANGUARD extinguishers are electrically nonconductive, environmentally friendly, and extremely low in toxicity.
CLEANGUARD extinguishers are ideal for computer centers, data/document storage areas, communications facilities, control rooms, electronics manufacturing, laboratories, museums, art galleries, and more. Rated for Class A, B, and C fires, the extinguisher agent leaves no residue, requires no cleanup after discharge, and will not cause collateral damage to materials, equipment, and facilities.
Water Based
Stored pressure water extinguishers and water type extinguishers are rate A. They are good for paper or wood fires. While this limits their usefulness in many situations, they still have a specific application. They are an economical choice when deployed into appropriate areas. Utilizes water, antifreeze, wetting agents, and loaded stream.
- Manufactured to ANSI/UL8 and 711 standards.
- Typical uses include schools, theaters, department/retail store rooms.
Cartridge Operated
RED LINE cartridge-operated fire extinguishers are the premium firefighting units preferred by safety directors worldwide in high fire-risk industries such as chemical, petro-chemical, oil and gas, mining, aviation, and power generation. Cartridge-operated means increased reliability, on-the-spot recharge, ease of service, and superior firefighting performance.
Typical applications include fuel loading racks, heavy construction sites, dip tanks, oil pumping stations, mining equipment, paint lockers, trucks and buses, fuel storage rooms, production lines and others. Tough, carbon steel shells resist impact, vibration and corrosion; quality components stand up to years of service; and special powder paints provide superior protection against cracking and chipping.
