September 30, 20169 yr comment_9321 been contacted by a client who wants fire extinguishers put in to Shepard hut at a self catering camping venue its about 3m but 5m so i would say 1 1kg abc powder is fine but i know where something not having powder in enclosed spaces the fire regulation authority have told a other client hers are all wrong and is braking the law (witch she is not) so is this or am i gonna have put in a water and a co2 to cover all the risks and in such a small space or in the 1k abc fine Report
October 1, 20169 yr comment_9322 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.

October 1, 20169 yr comment_9325 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 Report
