Safelincs Posted October 1, 2016 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 Hi Forrest Fire We certainly would not recommend powder in a living space, a dry water mist would be a lot more appropriate (good for all common risks incl 230V electrical equipment with minimum damage to room). Not sure if I would go as far as to throw all existing powder extinguishers out, though. Maybe more a case of replacement when it comes to 5 years of age rather than re-filling at that point.

AnthonyB Posted October 1, 2016 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 1l Water mist or a 2l P50 foam or a 3l ABF rated wet chem all sound better alternatives to powder. An obsolete 9 litre water jet and a CO2 would be not advisable either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
