This Amerex 13.2-pound Z-Series Purple K dry-chemical fire extinguisher is the ultimate choice for high hazard, frequent use, and extreme environment applications. The propietary zinc-enriched coating resists corrosion for up to 12 years in severly salt-contaminated environments. The extinguisher has a UL rating of 80B:C and a 12-year manufacturer’s guarantee.
Class K fire extinguishers are essential safety devices designed to combat kitchen fires. These large stainless-steel cylinders contain wet chemical agents, such as potassium acetate, potassium citrate, or potassium carbonate, specifically formulated to address fires caused by cooking oils.
When deployed, these extinguishers smother the fire through a process known as saponification. This reaction creates a soapy foam that coats the burning material, cutting off its oxygen supply and preventing re-ignition.
It is crucial to have Class K fire extinguishers in all commercial kitchens, including those in restaurants and schools. To ensure quick access in emergencies, these wet chemical extinguishers must be properly mounted within 30 feet of the cooking line.
