Item Brochure

Amerex manufactures an extensive variety of hand-portable
and wheeled re extinguishers, both “compliance” (code
required) and “specialty” types.
“Compliance” extinguishers are designed
to meet and exceed state or local re
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 specic hazard
they are meant to protect. It is natural for
a person to use the extinguisher located
nearest to a re. The most current issue
of NFPA-10 should be consulted for
minimum recommended re extinguisher
types, placement, and travel distances.
Your local Amerex Fire Equipment
Distributor is professionally equipped to
help you evaluate and implement these
recommendations. All “Pictograms” are
detailed below and should be reviewed
with all who might be expected to use
a re extinguisher. Everyone should
be familiar with these picture symbols
which identify the types of res on which
they may be used. The international sign
system diagonal red slash indicates a
potential danger if the extinguisher is
used on that particular type of re.
All Amerex extinguishers are furnished with a detailed “Owners
Manual” containing valuable information. The manual contains
information on the installation, use, and maintenance of the
extinguisher. The extinguisher nameplate contains specic
information on “HOW TO USE” the particular extinguisher.
The label instructions vary slightly according to type and size.
All potential operators should be totally familiar with the
instructions on any extinguisher they might be required to use.
