CO2 Fire Extinguisher - Clean, Safe, Effective Fire Suppression
Your First Line of Defense Against Class B and C Fires, Leaving No Damaging Residue.
Product Description
Protect your valuable assets, sensitive electronics, and critical environments with our premium CO2 Fire Extinguisher. Designed for maximum effectiveness against flammable liquid, gas, and electrical fires, this extinguisher uses clean carbon dioxide gas to rapidly smother flames without leaving behind any messy or corrosive residue. Ideal for server rooms, laboratories, offices, manufacturing facilities, and areas with delicate machinery, our CO2 extinguisher ensures a swift, clean, and damage-free response to unforeseen fire incidents.
Key Features & Benefits
Residue-Free Fire Suppression: Employs clean carbon dioxide gas that dissipates completely after use, leaving no powder, foam, or water damage. Perfect for sensitive equipment, documents, and cleanroom environments.
Non-Conductive Agent: Safely extinguishes electrical fires (Class C) without the risk of electrical shock to the operator or damage to live equipment. Essential for server racks, control panels, and electrical machinery.
Class B & C Rated: Highly effective on:
Class B Fires: Flammable liquids like gasoline, oil, paint, solvents, and gases.
Class C Fires: Energized electrical equipment such as computers, motors, wiring, and appliances.
Rapid Cooling & Oxygen Displacement: CO2 works by displacing oxygen around the fire and rapidly cooling the fuel source, quickly interrupting the combustion process.
Durable & High-Quality Construction:
Cylinder: Constructed from seamless high-strength aluminum (for lighter models) or durable steel (for larger models) to resist corrosion and ensure longevity.
Valve: Robust brass valve assembly with chrome plating for reliable performance and easy operation.
Discharge Horn: Features a distinctive, non-conductive, high-impact composite horn for effective and safe CO2 dispersion.
Easy to Operate: Designed for intuitive use with a simple pull-pin, squeeze-lever operation, making it accessible for trained personnel during emergencies.
No Pressure Gauge: CO2 extinguishers are verified by weight, not a pressure gauge, providing a reliable indication of charge.
Wall Mount Bracket Included: Comes with a heavy-duty wall bracket for secure and accessible placement in critical areas.
Ideal Applications
Server Rooms & Data Centers: Protects expensive electronic equipment from residue damage.
Laboratories: Safe for use around sensitive experiments and precision instruments.
Offices & Commercial Buildings: Guards against electrical fires and fires involving office equipment.
Manufacturing Facilities: Effective in areas with flammable liquids, solvents, and electrical machinery.
Kitchens (Commercial & Industrial): Excellent for grease fires (Class B) and electrical appliance fires.
Hospitals & Clinics: Maintains sterility and protects sensitive medical devices.
Art Galleries & Museums: Protects valuable artifacts and documents from fire and water damage.
Vehicles & Marine: Suitable for engine compartments and fuel storage areas.
Fire Class Ratings
Class B (Flammable Liquids & Gases): Highly Effective
Class C (Energized Electrical Equipment): Highly Effective
NOT for Class A Fires (Ordinary Combustibles like wood, paper, cloth): CO2 can clear flames but does not cool or penetrate the fuel deep enough to prevent re-ignition. For Class A fires, a water or ABC dry chemical extinguisher is recommended.
NOT for Class D Fires (Combustible Metals): Requires specialized extinguishing agents.
NOT for Class K Fires (Cooking Oils & Fats): Requires a specialized wet chemical extinguisher.

Maintenance & Safety
Monthly Visual Inspection: Check for obvious damage, missing safety seals, and ensure the discharge horn is clear. Verify the cylinder weight (usually marked with a "tare" weight).
Annual Professional Inspection: Must be inspected by a certified fire protection technician.
Recharge After Every Use: Even partial discharge requires professional recharging.
Hydrostatic Testing: Cylinders require periodic hydrostatic testing (typically every 5 or 12 years, depending on regulations and cylinder type).
Ventilation: Use in well-ventilated areas where possible, as CO2 can displace breathable oxygen. Avoid use in confined spaces without proper training and precautions.
Frostbite Risk: CO2 exits the nozzle at extremely cold temperatures; avoid direct skin contact with the discharge horn or agent.
