CO₂ fire extinguishers are suitable for electrical equipment, Class B fires and are recognised for its non-damaging highly effective performance and cleanliness. Chubb CO₂s have non-conductive anti-static horns. Because the gas is harmless to delicate equipment and materials, it is ideal for modern office environments, all electrical risks and where oils, spirits, solvents and waxes are in use.

• Polyester external coating adds extra protection to withstand extreme temperatures, dirty environments and UV degradation.

• Colour coded area to establish at-a-glance contents recognition.
• Unique tamper evident safety pin with OK indicator to reduce accidental discharge.
• Lightweight impact extruded high-grade aluminium body shell for optimum strength and resistance.

• Polyester external coating adds extra protection to withstand extreme temperatures, dirty environments and UV degradation.

Important for its non-damaging highly effective performance and cleanliness. Both models have non-conductive anti-static horns and are suitable for situations involving flammable liquids and electrical hazards.

Gas is harmless to delicate equipment and materials. Ideal for modern office environments, all electronic risks, and where oils, spirits, solvents and waxes are in use.

Fire ratings provide a means of measuring the effectiveness of an extinguisher in terms of the maximum size of fire that can be extinguished. Class B is related to fire surface area and the rating figure to the quantity of flammable liquid in a ratio of 1/3 water, 2/3 fuel that can be extinguished in a circular tray.

EC20C - Non-Magnetic CO2 FIRE EXTINGUISHER

(MRI Scanner Compatible)

This fire extinguisher has been specifically designed with non-magnetic components making it suitable for hospital MRI scanner rooms and other areas where there is a strong magnetic field.  CO₂ non-magnetic has the same functions and benefits as a standard Chubb Fire CO₂ fire extinguishers.

Despite the CO₂ fire extinguisher being the UK's most commonly used fire extinguisher, previously they have been supplied with a warning against holding the horn when in use.  This is because the CO₂ fire extinguisher is held as a liquid under pressure within the cylinder, and when it is discharged it expands rapidly, cooling down the material it contacts.  As such, during the discharge of a 2kg CO₂ fire extinguisher, the temperature of a traditional horn drops by 40^oC, giving the user a risk of frost burn if the horn is accidently touched.

To eliminate this problem, Chubb have developed a new reinforced swivel horn that combats the longstanding issue of frost building on the horn.

The horn now comes as standard on all new 2Kg CO₂ fire extinguishers, and we can upgrade your older CO₂ fire extinguishers during your sheduled service visit.
