HAND-PORTABLE FIRE EXTINGUISHERS Product Catalog
PORTABLE FIRE EXTINGUISHERS FROM AMEREX Amerex portable fire extinguishers have been the industry standard for 50 years. Since 1971, our commitment to quality, service, and innovation is unmatched. Quality is Behind the Diamond-in every product. People never think twice about fire extinguishers until they need one, but when they need one the extinguisher must work. At Amerex, we all work together to make sure we’re delivering the best quality products available.
WHERE TO USE Amerex manufactures an extensive variety of hand-portable and wheeled fire extinguishers, both “compliance” (code required) and “specialty” types. “Compliance” extinguishers are designed to meet and exceed state or local fire protection requirements. “Specialty” extinguishers are intended for use on particular types of hazards. Careful attention should be paid to locating them in close proximity to the specific hazard they are meant to protect.

WATER Model 240 utilizes the cooling, soaking, and penetrating effect of a 45-55 foot stream of WATER. The 55-second discharge time makes it very effective for inexperienced operators for use on Class A fires.
WET CHEMICAL WET CHEMICAL extinguishers are the best restaurant kitchen appliance hand-portable fire extinguishers you can purchase. Each model utilizes a specially blended potassium acetate base agent and has been tested and approved by UL for restaurant kitchen hazards.
WATER MIST WATER MIST is the ultimate extinguisher for Class A fires and for locations where a potential Class C (electrical) hazard exists. The fine spray from the unique misting nozzle provides safety from electrical shock, greatly enhances the cooling and soaking characteristics of the agent, and reduces scattering of burning materials.
HALOTRON BRX™ (2-BTP) Halotron BrX™ (2-BTP) Amerex provides a unique solution for Halon 1211 replacement. The model 349 extinguisher utilizes Halotron BrX™ to fulfill the next generation of aviation extinguisher requirements. BrX is a low GWP and very low ODP clean agent approved for use on commercial aircraft. The Amerex model 349 is constructed of a lightweight aluminum valve assembly and cylinder. The hose provides the operator greater flexibility for utilization in tight spaces.
HALOTRON™ I Halotron™ I clean fire extinguishing agent discharges as a rapidly evaporating liquid, which is non-conductive, non-corrosive, and leaves behind no residue. Halotron™ I is the clean agent market leader with a history of successful real-world protection of valuable assets.
HALON 1211 HALON 1211 is a liquefied gas, pressurized with nitrogen, which discharges as a vapor causing no cold or static shock and no impairment of the operator’s vision. This “CLEAN” agent quickly penetrates difficult-to-see and hard-to-reach areas and leaves no residue. It is recommended for protection of delicate, sensitive, and expensive computers, electrical equipment, tapes and film, automotive and aircraft engines, laboratory chemicals and equipment.
CARBON DIOXIDE CARBON DIOXIDE is discharged as a white cloud of “snow” which smothers a fire by eliminating oxygen. It is effective for Class B flammable liquids and is electrically non-conductive. Carbon Dioxide is a clean, non-contaminating, odorless gas.
CLASS D The Amerex “soft flow” extension applicator is particularly suited for fighting Class D fires. It allows the operator to stand away from the extreme heat and toxic fumes caused by burning material. The easily controlled, even discharge provides a non-dispersing application of the agent. The extension applicator may be quickly detached to provide a straight stream of chemical where greater range is required.
ABC DRY CHEMICAL ABC or Multi-Purpose extinguishers utilize a specially fluidized and siliconized mono ammonium phosphate dry chemical. It chemically insulates Class A fires by melting at approximately 350°F and coats surface to which it is applied. It smothers and breaks the chain reaction of Class B fires and will not conduct electricity back to the operator.
REGULAR DRY CHEMICAL REGULAR extinguishers contain a siliconized sodium bicarbonate based dry chemical with free flowing and non-caking additives. Economical Class B & C protection with lower initial cost and recharging. This chemical smothers fires in flammable liquids and pressurized gases and will not conduct electricity back to the operator.
PURPLE K DRY CHEMICAL PURPLE K extinguishers contain specially fluidized and siliconized potassium bicarbonate dry chemical which is particularly effective on Class B flammable liquids and pressurized gases. It is electrically non-conductive. Purple K has been the choice of oil, gas, chemical and utilities industries as the preferred fire-fighting agent.
Z-SERIES HIGH PERFORMANCE Z-Series extinguishers are the ultimate choice in fire extinguishers for high hazard, frequent use, and extreme environment applications. Economical-less initial cost, lower maintenance costs, and greater reliability than cartridge-operated extinguishers. Amerex Z-Series extinguishers are available with a proprietary, zinc-enriched coating that resists corrosion for up to 12 years in severely saltcontaminated environments.
HIGH FLOW DRY CHEMICAL HIGH FLOW portable fire extinguishers for applications where discharge rates exceeding one pound per second are required as specified in NFPA 10. These extinguishers utilize the same hardware and are manufactured to the same UL specifications as Amerex compliance-rated products.
