User questions & answers

Question:	Is the shipping $45.67 as shown
Answer:	It does have a slight reddish/mahogany tone, but not "red" or overstated color. It's a nice wood finish, not the painted look. (And not that you asked, but the pegs aren't going to hold anything heavy FYI.)
Question:	Does it have an expiration date? Is the 6 year warranty from the moment you received the product or when it was made
Answer:	Only mounting was required. That was a problem because the studs in our wall would not match up to the top rail with the predrilled holes. I ended up drilling new holes, one in the top rail and the other on the bottom rail vertically below. That worked very well. There was no "assembly" required. But, the standard iron that my wife puts in is a hair too big for the cabinet and she has to wiggle the ironing board to secure it. Other than that, the cabinet works very well.
Question:	Is this a 2A:10-BC
Answer:	No
Question:	Can this be used in car Shop / garage working on cars
Answer:	It comes with a cover, I'm not sure what to but to replace it when the time comes, but I love this wall mount ironing board

User questions & answers

Question:	is this model rechargeable
Answer:	each bottle has a yr stamped on the bottom, mine is 2014, and it says on the side of the sticker in red writing to replace after 10 yrs from the date stamped on the bottom, i have 1 in my laundry room , garage, and shop, the mounting bracket works great that comes with it, hope this helps
Question:	Which is better for all-around home use, the amerex b500 or b402? i understand the b402 has a higher u/l rating but that decreases flow rate
Answer:	Just be aware, read the 1 star ratings on here for this plastic valve Kidde unit. They are notorious for losing pressure over time, Kidde has had multiple recalls going back into the 1990's for various plastic-valve models. Also the gauge may be frozen in the "green" zone but the unit may have leaked out all pressure. You get what you pay for, compare this model to any metal-valve 2 1/2 lb extinguisher from Amerex, Ansul, Buckeye, Badger etc and you'll see the difference. Fire extinguishers are like parachutes, it's too late to buy a better one at the moment that you need to use it.
Question:	Why does the title say 5 lb. and the description say 10 lbs.? What is the true weight
Answer:	For kitchen/cooking specific fires, check out the "KIDDE 21008173N Kitchen 711A Extinguisher"
Question:	It says multipurpose. Does this mean it works on all classes of fires
Answer:	Yes, the First Alert Home Fire Extinguisher reaches the standard of u.s.c.g, and is rated by the United States c.g. as 1-A: B: C. Meaning that the 1-A says that the extinguisher can extinguish fires from the solid materials such as wood, card, paper, and fabric. 10-B shows that fire from flammable liquids like kerosene, petrol, paints, and diesel can be extinguished and the C indicates that the fire extinguisher can put out electrical fires.

User questions & answers

Question:	Where are these manufactured
Answer:	these are 5 lb extinguishers. check gauge for low pressure for expiration

User questions & answers

Question:	How long till this particular fire extinguisher expires
Answer:	Purchased mine in December 2013 and expiration date is 4/17/18.
Question:	Is it rechargeable
Answer:	Yes, it’s January 2021 and I just used one that expired in 2016 to put out a kitchen fire yesterday that almost got very bad, and would have without an extinguisher nearby
Question:	Can this be used for boats
Answer:	It depends on the agent and the age of the extinguisher involved. Modern dry chemical extinguishers (>90% of home use models) can be discharged into a trash bag and the cylinder portion recycled. The chemical is non-toxic and can be disposed of at a sanitary landfill. Water and CO2 types can be discharged to the atmosphere and the cans recycled. Foam and water-based chemicals may be able to be discharged into a sanitary sewer (NOT storm drain) or may need to be collected for disposal by a haz-mat collection company. It depends on the laws where you live. Halon and clean agent types should be returned to a fire extinguisher shop where the chemical can be reclaimed, as they are harmful to the environment as ozone-depleting substances. Old or antique ones in unsafe or unknown condition should be taken to a fire extinguisher shop or household hazardous material collection center for advice. Trained personnel can depressurize or pack the extinguisher for transport. Some old fire extinguishers contain toxic chemicals like carbon tetrachloride, which are both toxic and carcinogenic. These should only be emptied/handled by trained people.
Question:	Can this extinguisher be stored in the vehicle during hot and cold weather
Answer:	I wouldn’t do that read the fine print says something about high temperature storage

User questions & answers

Question:	What are the dimensions
Answer:	Yes! They seal very tightly - also, try sprinkling boric acid in the backs of cupboards.
Question:	what mount does it use for the vehicle? Is it secure in case of collision
Answer:	I’ve never tried, but remember these are not insulated to keep it warm all day.
Question:	is it made of steel
Answer:	I can safely assume they will. The seal is pretty air-tight and I haven’t had any problems with ants getting into the jars since I received them in January of this year.
Question:	What is the difference between this model (B417T) and the B
Answer:	My jars have a mouth that is a shade wider than 3 1/4" . I don't have the 78 oz cannisters, however. Looking at the pictures, it appears that all three sizes use the same lid so presumably, they all have the same size mouth.

User questions & answers

Question:	Received and it's empty. what should I do
Answer:	Yes, it's a heavy duty bracket.
Question:	do this unit come with tags
Answer:	The nozzle is a tapered piece that at the widest is 1.314" diameter outside measurement...same answer as other poster. If it was a hair too large for your needs you could cut a bit off the tip with a hacksaw to reduce the length of the taper down. Excellent extinguisher by the way....quality product. Only thing you may want to consider....the plastic tie to hold pin in place came already broken on mine (it is designed for easy breaking in an emergency. I just bought some more safety ties from Amazon to replace and have spares for my other extinguishers. You have to have that safety tie in place or if inspected it will indicate that it MAY have been used and should not be stored in ready position. I use on a sports car and if the tie was missing they would not accept it as meeting their requirements for tracking the car.
Question:	What is the temperature range for this product
Answer:	Your guess is right, even though smaller Halotron fire extinguishers only carry a B Class and C Class ratings, the bigger ones manage to also carry Class A as a lot of Halotron agent is required (compared to dry agents) to put out paper fires. So this one might be able to handle a small paper fire. http://www.halotron.com/testing3.phpfire.
Question:	what is the manufacture year currently
Answer:	It's suitable for that application. Be aware of the fact that the contents can be an incapacitating agent. Full discharge of the extinguisher in the cockpit of a small aircraft without adequate ventilation could be a hazard. From the vendor's description: MINIMUM CONFINED SPACE REQUIREMENTS (CU. FT.): 350

Product description

All Amerex extinguishers are furnished with a detailed “Owners Manual” containing valuable information. The manual contains information on the installation, use and maintenance of the extinguisher. The extinguisher nameplate (label) contains specific information on “HOW TO USE” the particular extinguisher. The label instructions vary slightly according to type and size. All potential operators should be totally familiar with the instructions on any extinguisher they might be required to use

Model 240 utilizes the cooling, soaking and penetrating effect of a 45-55 ft. stream of WATER. The 55 sec. discharge time makes it very effective for inexperienced operators for use on Class A fires. (ORDINARY COMBUSTIBLES: wood, paper, cloth, trash and other ordinary materials.)
