The P50 Service-Free 6 litre AVD Fire Extinguisher is the ultimate combination of exceptional performance against the fastest-growing fire hazard of the modern age and a life-span that far surpasses anything else on the market. With a fire rating of 13A, it uses a revolutionary extinguishing agent designed and tested specifically for Lithium-Ion Battery Fires and the highest standard of environmentally friendly materials to offer an extinguisher that won’t let you down, and will damn-near never have to leave your side, all without the hassle of annual servicing inspections.

With a 10-year manufacturers guarantee and renewal following factory refurbishment, the P50 AVD Extinguisher has an effective lifespan of 20 years. This may be enough to put you at ease for those few decades, but in the data sheet you can also find on this page there is an outlined of how to inspect the extinguisher manually. This will allow you and other individuals to be made qualified individuals in the annual inspection of this fire extinguisher, removing the need for a third-party inspection.

Note: There is also an associated app for Google and Apple that can be used to log annual maintenance, as well as double pressure guages on the extinguisher itself for comprehensive calibration.

Bearing relevant certifications such as BS EN3, UKCA, and the CE Mark, you can rest assured this extinguisher isn’t sacrificing regulatory compliance for its cutting-edge functionality. Speaking of which, it makes use of the aforementioned AVD (Aqueous Vermiculite Dispersion) agent. This extinguishant is effective on Lithium-Ion Battery Fires, Class A Fires, and Electrical Fires. It is a natural mineral-based fire extinguishing agent composed of high aspect ratio vermiculite platelets in water, resulting in a tightly controlled formulation designed to push the boundaries of firefighting efficiency while maintaining the necessary certifications for safe and regular use.

Lithium-Ion Battery Fires are a fast-growing and already abundant fire hazard that is the result of recent and current technological advancements. Most portable devices and electric vehicles use these batteries, and so are prone to the deadly and specific kind of fire they are able to produce. Due to the self-sustaining process of thermal runaway, these fires are especially dangerous, and can often reignite hours or even days after seemingly being cooled. This makes it all the more important to have an extinguisher you can trust on hand should a Lithium-Ion Battery Fire occur. 

The P50 is also rated for use on Class A Fires, which is those caused by common combustibles such as wood and fabric, as well as Electrical Fires up 1000 volts, a role which is typically exclusive to CO2 Fire Extinguishers. To nail down its functional capabilities, this extinguisher boasts a temperature range of +5 to +60ºC, discharge time of 40 seconds, a discharge range of 4+ metres, and an operating pressure of 12 bar, all under the umbrella of a 13A fire rating.

Lastly, the extinguisher achieves its unparalleled lifespan in large part due to the top-end materials used in its construction. It is made from lightweight, recyclable materials rated for corrosion and UV resistance, and overall weatherproof composition; you will find it is lighter than most traditional steel extinguishers, while being more durable. The inner cylinder is also wound in a super strength aramid fibre yarn, which helps provide this exceptional strength. It is also worth noting that this corrosion-resistance contributes to the extinguisher not needing third-party servicing; in the first ten years and then following factory refurbishment, the components are at no risk of corrosion or deterioration, so replacement will never be needed.

Types of fire include Class A (wood, paper, cloth, etc), Lithium-Ion Battery fires, and fires involving electrical equipment (tested to 1000V).

Anticipated lifespan with indoor use and proper maintenance - 10 years, with an additional 10 years after factory refurbishment.

Please Note: You should still have your new service-free P50 extinguishers commissioned and installed by an extinguisher technician.
