How to use the site to decide

  1. Identify the fire class you need to cover (the agent categories — ABC dry chemical, BC dry chemical, CO2, water, water mist, wet chemical — map to different fire types).
  2. Pick the capacity that fits your space from the sizes listed under that category.
  3. Check the Brackets and All Weather Plastic Cabinets sections if you need mounting or storage accessories.
  4. Download the relevant Product Sheet, SDS, or Manual from the Resources section to confirm specifications.
  5. Contact the company directly for pricing, availability, or warranty specifics — the site does not publish pricing or ordering details.

One practical note: the site lists product types and sizes but does not show prices, so budget and purchase terms have to come from a direct inquiry rather than the website itself.
