Stored Pressure, Dry Powder, Fire Extinguisher with hanging bracket

This 6kg Powder extinguisher is best suited for premises combating a risk of large fires, involving live electrical equipment, fuel gas, rubber, plastics, wood, paper or flammable liquid fires.

The stow-away hose facilitates easy direction to the base of the fire and Dry Powder extinguishers have very good 'knock-down' characteristics, when directed at the flames. The powder smothers flames and deprives the fire of oxygen but, unlike Water and foam extinguishers, powder takes out little of the heat of combustion, which makes powder not the best means to extinguishing fires in wood, paper and other solid material that holds great heat. 

Powder Fire extinguishers leave a mess and, used on engine fires, may cause as much damage as the fire, on bearing component surfaces (see Fire Risk Guidance, in the information section)

Suitable for: premises with live electrical equipment and risk from flammable liquid fires: machine and vehicle fires, warehouses, garages and workshops.
