The Amerex 240 Water Stored Pressure Fire Extinguisher (Class A) is UL-approved for fires involving ordinary combustibles such as wood, paper, trash, plastic, and other ordinary materials. It is ideal for offices, classrooms, storage rooms, and hallways containing papers, boxes, cardboards, and plastics. Made for firefighters, the Amerex 240 Fire Extinguisher effectively stops fires with its 45-55 ft. pressure stream of water. Its quick, 55-second discharge time makes it easy to use for inexperienced operators and bystanders, making it a great choice for quick response.
Reliable Class A firefighting agent. The Amerex 240 is manufactured to standards under ISO-9002 and contains the required HMIS information. It is designed to safely and effectively put out fires in minutes. The Amerex 240 has a UL rating of 2A and can hold up to 2.5 gallons of water. As mentioned above, it is effective for Class A fires and must not be used for fires involving flammable gas and liquids, cooking oils, and electrical equipment. Its large-looped stainless steel pin is easy to pull out for easy discharge. Clean-up is a breeze after use because it does not leave powder residue behind.
Rugged design. The Amerex 240 Fire Extinguisher is built for durability. Its cylinder is made of heavy-duty, polished stainless steel with an all-metal valve. The cylinder is crevice-free and butt-welded to minimize wear over time. It can withstand temperatures ranging from 40°F to 120°F, suitable for use in manned pressure vessels with chambers simulating 225 ft. of depth. It is recommended to regularly maintain fire extinguishers so it’s always ready to use in case of fire emergencies.
For added convenience, the Amerex 240 includes a red metal wall bracket. Alternatively, it can also be mounted on vehicles with the Amerex 810 vehicle bracket (sold separately). Mounting instructions are indicated in the user’s manual. Screws and fasteners are not included in the package.
