Amerex B570 30 lb Class D Sodium Chloride Fire Extinguisher

The Amerex B570 30 lb Class D Sodium Chloride Fire Extinguisher is a purpose-built solution for high-risk metal-fire environments. Designed to combat fires involving magnesium, sodium, potassium, and certain sodium-potassium alloys, this stored-pressure extinguisher uses a sodium chloride dry powder agent that forms a crust over the burning metal. This crusting action helps isolate oxygen and transfer heat, effectively smothering the flame and reducing re-ignition potential in metal fire scenarios where conventional extinguishing agents can react violently with the fuel.

Constructed for durability in industrial settings, the B570 features a heavy-duty painted steel cylinder with a chrome-plated brass valve and all-metal hardware, contributing to reliable performance in demanding facilities. It is equipped with a large stainless steel loop pull pin for rapid deployment and ships with a heavy-duty wall bracket for secure mounting, supporting quick accessibility in emergencies. The unit is designed to operate across a broad temperature range, functioning in environments as cold as -40°F (-40°C) and up to 120°F (49°C), which is important for workshops, manufacturing floors, and laboratories exposed to variable conditions. The extinguisher has a discharge time of approximately 24 seconds and a maximum discharge distance of up to 6 feet, providing enough reach for controlled deployment in typical metal-fire scenarios.

For installation and readiness, the B570 is NFPA 10 compliant and FM Approved, reflecting adherence to recognized standards for extinguishers used on Class D fires. It includes a wall-mount solution to facilitate immediate accessibility in high-risk areas, and the 30-pound capacity aligns with the typical need for effective initial response in industrial environments where metal fires can occur. When selecting this extinguisher, consider the specific metal hazards present, the required discharge reach, and the facility’s environmental conditions to ensure appropriate coverage and rapid response capability.
