The Amerex B500 is a 5 lb ABC multi-purpose fire extinguisher designed to provide reliable protection against the most common types of fires. This dry chemical fire extinguisher uses a fluidized and siliconized monoammonium phosphate powder that delivers proven performance across Class A, B, and C hazards.

  • Class A fires (ordinary combustibles): The dry chemical melts at approximately 350°F to create a protective coating that insulates and prevents re-ignition.

  • Class B fires (flammable liquids): The agent smothers flames and interrupts the chemical chain reaction.

  • Class C fires (electrical equipment): Non-conductive formula ensures safe use around energized electrical equipment.

Built for longevity, the B500 fire extinguisher features:

  • Anodized aluminum valve, handle, and lever for lightweight durability

  • All-metal valve construction with a corrosion-resistant, high-gloss polyester powder paint finish

  • Bilingual operating instructions for universal use
