Product Description
Amerex Models C260 and C262 are the ideal “Kitchen Use” fire extinguishers. They supplement existing cooking equipment automatic system protection for an extra margin of safety.
Class K Wet Chemical Fire Extinguishers can be used on Class A or K fires.
- Class A: Ordinary Combustibles - wood, paper, cloth, trash, rubber, fabrics, many plastics (not metals).
- Class K: Cooking oils and animal fats
WET CHEMICAL extinguishers are the best restaurant kitchen appliance hand-portable fire extinguishers you can purchase. Each model utilizes a specially blended potassium acetate base agent and has been tested and approved by UL for restaurant kitchen hazards. The recent trend to more efficient cooking appliances and use of vegetable-based cooking oils dictates the use of a hand-portable fire extinguisher with greater fire-fighting capacity and cooling effect to combat these very hot and difficult fires.
The Class K is available in two sizes: 6 liter or 2½ gallon—with attractive stainless steel cylinders and easy-to-use hose-and-spray application nozzles. The superior fire-fighting capability of the Wet Chemical agent is placed exactly where you aim it with no dry chemical residue to clean up.
