Amerex C262 Wet Chemical Extinguisher, 2.5 gal. (2A:K)
Wet chemical extinguisher designed for commercial kitchen grease and cooking appliance fire protection
The Amerex C262 wet chemical fire extinguisher is specifically engineered for suppression of Class K fires involving cooking oils and fats, while also providing protection for Class A combustible materials. With a 2.5 gallon agent capacity and a 2A:K rating, it is well suited for commercial kitchens, restaurants, institutional food preparation facilities, and industrial cooking environments.
Its potassium acetate–based wet chemical agent helps rapidly cool burning grease while forming a vapor-sealing foam blanket that reduces re-ignition risk. The included discharge wand allows operators to apply agent safely at a controlled distance, improving coverage across deep fryers, ranges, and cooking surfaces where precise application is essential.
