Shop our 2kg powder chrome fire extinguishers to protect your building and equipment from spreading fires

The 2kg chrome powder fire extinguishers are versatile at fighting all types of fires. This is why they are recommended for the home and most truck cabs have them fitted. Powder will leave a mess when used but the fire would have left more! They require factory refilling and testing or service exchange (see NOTE).

Suitable for home, truck cabs, portable buildings, small kitchen areas, small workshops, cars, vans, caravans, boats

The updated British Standard 5306-8:2012 Selection and positioning of portable fire extinguishers – Code of Practice states as follows.

"5.4.3 Use of powder extinguishers The discharge of a powder extinguisher within buildings can cause a sudden reduction of visibility and can also impair breathing, which could temporarily jeopardize escape, rescue or other emergency action. For this reason, powder extinguishers should generally not be specified for use indoors, unless mitigated by a health and safety risk assessment."

Additionally, when looking to comply with Part 8 of the ADR regulations, ensure you meet the minimum dry powder fire extinguisher provision to suit the size of your vehicle.

If you are not sure what this means, please contact us any time or see our Fire Safety Survey service. Responsible extinguisher service technicians (including ours) may refuse to certify a powder extinguisher that is not suitable for the location.

Types of fire include Class A (wood, paper, cloth, etc), B (flammable liquids), C (gas - but never put out a gas fire if the gas cannot then be turned off) and safe around live electrical equipment

Anticipated lifespan with indoor use and proper maintenance - 10 years
