Amerex B402T, 5lb ABC Dry Chemical Class A B C Fire Extinguisher, with Vehicle Bracket

Amerex makes high quality extinguishers. That's what I want when I need a life safety device. I shop selectively, and for other extinguishers, there are some compelling options. But this Amerex is the winner for me for this ABC capacity and for the next step up capacity ABC. Amerex is also my winner for Halotron extinguishers. I did a lot of research and put my trust in this brand for most of my home, office and car extinguisher needs.Buckeye makes a great CO2 extinguisher.Steer clear of the box store brands, plastic valves, plastic handles, and all the heavily advertised brands that put me through multiple recalls and that didn't perform when needed. There's no savings in failure. Stick with the reliable brands, like Amerex.

Well made, easy to mount bracket. You must provide mounting hardware (bolts or screws), but this is a non-problem given the infinite number of necessities for proper mounting in many different fire suppression locations.

After reading that plastic parts on fire extinguishers are not a good idea I was looking for an all metal model. Apparently the plastic parts can break-off or fail rendering them inoperative. Since extinguishers can last for years I would like it to be as sturdy as possible.Rated ABC, this dry chemical extinguisher is multi-purpose which means it covers most usual causes of fire in the home. So, this device is applicable for use on cloth, wood, paper, combustible and flammable liquids (grease, gasoline, oil and oil based paints) and electrical equipment (plugged-in items like tools and appliances). This is exactly what I wanted.A clearly written Owner’s Manual is included which contains warnings and instructions for proper operation of the extinguisher and how to use it on a fire. Maintenance is minimal. It is recommended that the extinguisher be turned upside down and shaken every month to prevent powder from compacting at the bottom. Keep it in a safe easily accessible location and familiarize all family members with proper operation, and check the pressure gauge regularly to ensure it is ready to use when needed.

Excellent quality and price and delivery was quick. It will be placed in our barn :)

Nice quality fire extinguisher. 4 stars because of poor packaging for a heavy product that allowed one of two purchased to get severely damage during shipping. The chemicals all released inside the shipping box. Amazon nor the seller will except returns on fire extinguishers. Had to contact the seller directly and prove to them the damage was real by sending them photos. They reimburse my purchase for the damaged one.

A very high quality product that has a commercial rating. The heavy duty bracket was easily installed on a wall, and the bracket strap firmly holds the canister. Both B402T units were fully charged on the upper side of the green zone. A instruction sheet with install and monthly inspection check-off dates are provided for commercial purposes. It can be cut out and installed on these units if desired.

Looks great. Now all I have to do is figure how to mount it in my van. Just a matter of making a sheet metal doubler. Thanks for being there; I hope never to have to use it, but we all know they get used sometimes.
