What Is It?
The AMEREX Model 452 is a wheeled dry chemical fire extinguisher that uses potassium bicarbonate extinguishing agent to combat Class B and Class C fires. Its large-capacity design carries significantly more extinguishing agent than typical portable extinguishers, making it suitable for larger hazards where extended discharge capability is required.
How Is It Used?
The unit is wheeled into position near the fire scene and activated through its cartridge-operated pressure-transfer system. The operator then directs the extinguishing agent through the 50-foot hose toward the base of the fire. The long hose provides greater reach while allowing operators to maintain a safer working distance.
