Carbon Dioxide Fire Extinguisher

The 5kg CO2 extinguisher is best suited for premises combating a risk of large fires, involving live electrical equipment or flammable liquid fires.

Unlike the swivel horn of the 2kg, the 5kg horn is on the end of a hose for easy direction to the base of the fire.
Whilst a 5kg carbon dioxide fire extinguisher is useful for large electrical items, do not use it on Class A (paper, wood, cloth, etc) fires.

Carbon dioxide fire extinguisher can be used where electrical items are on fire but it should not be used on Class A (paper, wood, cloth, etc) fires. Carbon Dioxide Extinguishers need factory refilling and testing or service-exchange. (see Fire Risk Guidance, in the information section)

Suitable for: all premises with live electrical equipment, computers, machines. Also useful against small flammable liquid fires or for welding fire accidents.

Types of fire: include Class B (flammable liquids) and fires involving live electrical equipment
