4.5kg ABE Fire Extinguisher
A very popular all-rounder, large enough to extinguish a decent fire yet not too large and heavy to be handled by all, the versatility of the ABE type extinguisher allows for safe use on A, B and E class fires. It can be used on fires involving flammable liquids such as petrol, oil, paint, LPG, can be used on live electrical equipment fires, and ordinary combustibles like wood, textiles, rubber, plastics and paper. This is not your ideal restaurant kitchen fire extinguisher – use a wet chemical fire extinguisher in kitchen areas.
