5kg Carbon Dioxide Fire Extinguisher

Product Information:
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Fire Extinguishers are suitable for class B fires, which are fires that involve flammable liquids such as oils, petrol and solvents. Carbon Dioxide Fire Extinguishers are also suitable for use on live electrical fires and can be used to protect electrical equipment such as computers and servers. Carbon Dioxide fire extinguishers are ideal for use in offices and for using on electrical equipment as they do not leave behind any sort of residue that may cause harm to electrical equipment. In an office and other industrial environments, a carbon dioxide fire extinguisher would usually be loacted alongside a water or foam fire extinguisher to ensure protection against Class A (paper and wood etc.) and Class B Fires.

The 5kg Carbon Dioxide fire extinguisher is supplied complete with hose and horn.

The 5kg Carbon Dioxide fire extinguisher is supplied complete with bracket meaning that it can quickly and easily be wall mounted. Our carbon dioxide extinguishers are manufactured from lightweight and robust aluminium making them easy to use and lift.

How does a carbon dioxide fire extinguisher work?
Carbon dioxide is a non conductive gas that displaces and/or removes oxygen from the atmosphere to smother a fire. The extinguishers are stored pressure and are supplied fully filled.

How to operate a carbon dioxide fire extinguisher? *
Twist the safety pin on the handle to break the plastic seal and pull the pin out of the handle. If you squeeze the handle, the fire extinguisher will now operate.

Stand approximatley two metres away from the fire. Keep the fire extinguisher in an upright position and aim the horn at the base of the fire.

Grip the handle firmly to operate the fire extinguihser and sweep from side to side across the fire to creat a 'blanket covering' of carbon dioxide.

Carbon dioxide fire extinguishers are safe for use on live electrical fires but remember to safely turn off the electricty supply as soon as possible.

Be careful if you hold the body (base) of the fire extinguisher when it is discharged as the fire extinguisher will become extremely COLD during use.

Guarantees:
This extinguisher is guaranteed for one year from date of purchase provided that the fire extinguisher is serviced from new in accordance with BS 5306: Pt 3 by a trained, competent fire service engineer using genuine spare parts.

Locating fire extinguishers:

Ensure that fire extinguishers are located where they are easily accessible and visible.

Ensure that fire extinguishers are wall mounted on brackets or that they are placed on floor stands.

Ensure that fire extinguishers are located along exit routes and that there is a distance of no more than 30 metres between fire extinguishers.

Ensure that extinguishers are located near to room exits, landings, lobbies and stairways meaning that people can use fire extinguishers to help them to safely evacuate a building in the event of a fire.

Ensure that a fire extinguisher identification sign (ID sign) is located above a fire extinguisher as this will instruct people on how to operate the extinguisher in the case of a fire.

Ensure that fire extinguishers are wall mounted so that the carrying handle is 1m from the floor for heavier units (e.g. 9ltr/9kg fire extinguishers and above) and 1.5m for smaller units (e.g. 6ltr/6kg fire extinguishers)
