Office Fire Extinguisher

Choosing the right size for an office

Size depends on the floor area and the risk. The 6 kg end of the range is light enough for most staff to lift from a wall bracket, while the 25 kg end is heavier and often goes on a trolley or near plant rooms. Weights run from about 5.5 kg empty for the smallest to 88.4 kg full for the largest, so check who will carry the unit before you pick one.

Performance of the Office Fire Extinguisher

The confirmed figures for this range are:

• Capacity: 6-25 Kg
• Range: 6-10 meter
• Discharge time: 60-180 sec, with a pressure jet time of 60 sec
• Discharge: 95% of the charge, minimum
• Working pressure: 14 bar
• Temperature range: -30 to 55 deg C
• Empty weight: 5.5-38.4 Kg; full weight: 14.5-88.4 Kg (both approx.)

Units of this type usually work by a manual squeeze lever and discharge by stored pressure or gas cartridge. In the wider class, cylinders are often mild steel or aluminium, holding a 1-9 kg/L agent charge, but this model is listed in carbon steel and in larger sizes.

Questions to settle before ordering

Buyers fitting out new offices usually ask us to confirm the agent, since the right choice depends on paper, furniture and electronics on the floor. We recommend telling us the rooms you are covering, the label language and the bracket type. Selection and placement advice is also given in the NFPA codes and standards.

For rooms full of computers, a 3 kg CO2 fire extinguisher leaves no residue, while an ABC modular fire extinguisher can be ceiling-mounted over a risk area.
