Amerex Carbon Dioxide Fire Extinguisher Series

Clean Agent Fire Suppression

The Amerex Carbon Dioxide Fire Extinguisher Series is rated for Class B flammable liquid fires and Class C electrical fires. Carbon dioxide displaces oxygen to suppress the fire without leaving residue, making it suitable for electrical equipment, server rooms, laboratories, and any environment where cleanup or contamination matters.

Key Features

  • Carbon Dioxide Clean Agent - Discharges as a white cloud of CO2 snow that smothers fires by reducing oxygen concentration; leaves no residue or corrosive deposit
  • Class B and C Rated - Effective on flammable liquids (Class B) and electrically non-conductive for safe use on energized equipment (Class C)
  • Available in 5 lb, 10 lb, 15 lb, and 20 lb capacities
  • Wall Mount Bracket Included - Mounting hardware included for fixed installation in commercial and industrial facilities
  • Non-contaminating Discharge - Odorless, electrically non-conductive CO2 agent protects sensitive electronics and clean environments

Typical Applications

  • Server rooms, control panels, and electrical equipment enclosures
  • Flammable liquid storage: paint rooms, solvent storage, fuel areas
  • Laboratories, medical facilities, and food processing areas
  • Manufacturing plants, warehouses, and mechanical rooms
  • Marine engine rooms and electrical compartments
  • Data centers and telecommunications equipment rooms

Operation

  1. Select the capacity model appropriate to the hazard area and coverage requirements
  2. Install wall bracket at the correct height per NFPA guidelines and local fire code
  3. Secure the extinguisher in the bracket with clear access for emergency use
  4. Verify adequate ventilation in the deployment area before carbon dioxide discharge
  5. Inspect pressure gauge and unit condition on a regular schedule
  6. Train personnel on the PASS technique for CO2 extinguisher operation

Amerex CD5 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I use a CO2 extinguisher on a server room or electrical panel fire?
That's exactly what the Amerex carbon dioxide extinguishers are built for. CO2 is electrically non-conductive and rated Class C, so it's safe on live electrical equipment, control panels, and electronic gear. The discharge is a clean gas that leaves no residue, so there's no powder to clean out of racks, boards, or connectors after a discharge. It also covers Class B flammable liquids. What it does not cover is Class A ordinary combustibles like paper, wood, and trash, so a server room with normal office combustibles usually needs an ABC dry chemical unit nearby as well.
2) What is the difference between the 5 lb, 10 lb, 15 lb and 20 lb Amerex CO2 extinguishers?
Agent weight and UL rating are the split. The 5 lb unit carries a 5B:C rating; the 10, 15, and 20 lb units all carry 10B:C. Since 10, 15, and 20 all rate 10B:C, you are buying longer discharge time and more agent, not a higher rating, when you step up from the 10 lb. Sizes run 17.75 x 8.25 x 5.25 inches for the CD5, 24 x 12 x 7 for the CD10, 30 x 12 x 7 for the CD15, and 30 x 13 x 8 for the CD20.
3) Should I use a CO2 extinguisher or an ABC dry chemical extinguisher?
It comes down to what burns and what the residue would cost you. Carbon dioxide is a clean agent, Class B and C only, and it leaves nothing behind, which is why it goes in server rooms, labs, control rooms, and food processing areas where dry chemical powder would contaminate equipment or product. ABC dry chemical adds Class A coverage for paper, wood, and fabric but coats everything in the room. In most commercial spaces the answer is both: ABC for general coverage, CO2 stationed at the electrical and equipment hazards.
4) Does the Amerex CO2 extinguisher come with a mounting bracket, or do I have to buy one?
A wall mount bracket is included with the Amerex carbon dioxide extinguishers, so you are not sourcing hanging hardware separately. Set the bracket height per NFPA guidance and your local fire code, then confirm the unit seats and releases cleanly from the bracket. If the extinguisher is going into a recessed or semi-recessed cabinet instead of on an open wall, the cabinet is a separate purchase.
5) Is a CO2 extinguisher safe to discharge in a small enclosed room?
Ventilation matters with carbon dioxide. The agent works by displacing oxygen, discharging as a white cloud of snow that smothers the fire, and that same oxygen displacement is a hazard to anyone in a tight, unventilated space. Verify a clear discharge path and adequate ventilation before deploying, and get out once the fire is knocked down. For enclosed mechanical rooms and small electrical closets this is the practical limit that pushes some facilities toward a different agent.
6) Can I standardize one CO2 extinguisher across a whole facility?
Four capacities are offered, 5, 10, 15, and 20 lb, so a facility standard is straightforward to set. For multi-building portfolios the common approach is one capacity per hazard class rather than one across the board: the 5 lb 5B:C at office electrical panels and copy rooms, and a 10B:C unit at mechanical rooms, server rooms, and flammable liquid storage. Standardizing on a single capacity simplifies annual inspection, recharge, and training on the PASS technique across sites.
