NFPA 10 requires high flow extinguishers for pressurized, flammable liquid and gas hazards such as at construction sites, fuel stations and propane filling locations as well as areas with three-dimensional class B hazards. These types of fires require higher flow rates than a standard extinguisher provides. The higher flow rate not only projects more agent onto the fire resulting in a quicker knock down, it also provides the operator more protection by placing a heavier stream of suppression agent between the operator and the fire.
Common Applications:
- Propane filling stations
- Gas stations
- Auto repair facilities
- Painting areas
- Marine terminals
