Class K Wet Chemical Fire Extinguishers
Fire Extinguishers El Cajon, California

Class K Restaurant, Kitchen & Coast Guard Marine & Naval Fire Extinguishers in El Cajon, California

Class K wet chemical fire extinguishers are designed to aid in suppressing, containing or extinguishing fires that involve combustible cooking vegetable oils, animal oils, or fats by discharging an ultra cooling fine mist to prevent flash from grease splash in efforts to extinguish fire in El Cajon, California.

Class K wet chemical fire extinguishers are used to supplement fire protection systems in restaurants, commercial kitchens, marine & naval kitchens and home kitchens generally placed near high temperature cooking appliances, ovens, deep fat fryers near or around food items, El Cajon, California.

Wheeled Unit Fire Extinguisher Class K Amerex in El Cajon, CaliforniaAll cooking media, be it animal or vegetable, liquids or solids, contain saturated fats or free fatty acids. When an alkaline-based extinguishing agent is applied to the heated saturated fats, a reaction occurs called “saponification.” The reaction forms a soapy foam on top of the surface that smothers the fire and contains the flammable vapors and the hot cooking medium. Both the dry chemical agents and the wet chemical agents (being alkaline based) will cause the same reaction. The wet chemical, being applied as a fine mist, has the added advantage of cooling the cooking medium and lowering the temperature, making the wet chemical agents more effective. Since UL 300 was made effective, only wet chemical systems comply with the new test criteria. FEMA Class K fire extinguishers placards.

Amerex Fire Extinguishers - Instructions for Use

Amerex manufactures a wide variety of hand portable and wheeled fire extinguishers, both “compliance” (code required) and “specialty” types. “Specialty” type extinguishers are intended for use on particular types of hazards, so careful attention should be made to locating them in close proximity to the specific hazard they are meant to protect. It is natural for a person to use the extinguisher located nearest to a fire. The most current issue of NFPA-10 should be consulted for minimum recommended fire extinguisher types, placement and travel distances.

Fire Extinguisher Owners Manual (Dry Chemical; 05602) by AmerexYour local Amerex Fire Equipment Distributor is professionally qualified and equipped to help you evaluate and implement these recommendations. Two new classifications have been added recently – Class A:C (Amerex Water Mist fire extinguishers) and Class A : K (Amerex Wet Chemical extinguishers). All picture symbols are detailed below and should be reviewed with all who might be expected to use a fire extinguisher. Everyone should be familiar with these picture symbols which identify the types of fires on which they may be used. The International sign symbol diagonal red slash indicates a potential danger if the extinguisher is used on that particular type of fire. Absence of a type symbol means only that the extinguisher is not recommended as particularly effective for that classification of fire.

Hand Portable Fire Extinguisher Owners Manual | AmerexAll Amerex extinguishers are furnished with a detailed “Owners Manual” containing valuable information. The manual contains general information on the installation, use and maintenance of the extinguisher.
