5 lbs Purple-K Fire Extinguisher w/ Aluminum Valve (Class B:C)

The Amerex B479T 5 lbs Purple-K Fire Extinguisher w/ Aluminum Valve (Class B:C) efficiently stops Class B fires caused by flammable and combustible liquids like gasoline, lacquers, alcohol, and oil-based paints. It’s non-conductive so it is safe for fires involving electrical equipment. With a UL rating of 30B:C, a single unit can fight 30 square feet of Class B fires. It's also rechargeable after discharge.

Superior firefighting performance. The Amerex B479T uses Purple-K agent, a potassium bicarbonate-based dry chemical with an added purple pigment. Due to higher amounts of potassium ion, Purple K is proven to be at least 4 or 5 times as effective as carbon dioxide and more than twice as effective as sodium bicarbonate-based fire suppressants. Purple-K is non-abrasive, non-toxic, and is also compatible with most foam concentrates. When used, Purple-K leaves a residue that can easily be cleaned up by vacuuming. Unlike gaseous extinguishers, it is less affected by wind and also results in a moderate flare-up and minimal spread of flame. The Amerex Purple K extinguishers are safe to use from –65 °F and as high as 120 °F (–54 °C and 49 °C).
