The 5kg CO2 Fire Extinguisher is a little more specialist than its smaller counterpart as this is much more suitable for high-risk premises with a risk of large fires involving live electrical equipment or flammable liquid. With an 89B fire rating and suitable to use on live electrical equipment, you should partner this with another extinguisher for Class A coverage, such as a water or foam fire extinguisher.

The large unit is supplied with a wall mounting bracket and comes complete with a hose and horn for safe and effective use. Additionally, the 5kg CO2 Extinguisher has a 5-year warranty, is BSI Kitemarked, UKCA Approved and CE Marked as well as being manufactured for Vigil Products as part of their huge range.

Primarily, 5kg CO2 Fire Extinguishers are chosen for their ability to tackle a fire without damaging electrical equipment or machinery, while other extinguisher types will.

Types of fire include Class B (flammable liquids) and fires involving live electrical equipment.

Anticipated lifespan with indoor use and proper maintenance - 10 years.

Extinguisher Servicing: It’s likely you will need your new 5kg CO2 Fire Extinguisher commissioned and then annually serviced. A legal requirement for businesses and rental properties, it’ll often be recommended by your insurance company too. We offer the option of commissioning only, or with wall fixing, where our local engineer will certify and label the extinguisher before issuing a certificate for your compliance.

Worth remembering - when a refill or test is due, at Fire Protection Online prices, a brand-new CO2 extinguisher costs less than getting one refilled.
