Marinette, Wis. – Oct. 8, 2014 – Tyco Fire Protection Products (TFPP), a global leader in total fire-suppression technologies, recently launched the ANSUL SENTRY High-Flow, Stored-Pressure Fire Extinguisher to its global network of Authorized ANSUL Distributors.
Designed specifically for commercial compliance markets, this portable fire extinguisher provides cost-effective, high-performing fire suppression to meet the requirements of the NFPA 10 Standard for Portable Fire Extinguishers.
Available in 10-pound and 20-pound models with standard or corrosion-resistant coatings, the SENTRY High-Flow, Stored-Pressure Fire Extinguisher is designed to meet the requirements of NFPA 10 (Standard for Portable Fire Extinguishers) Section 5.5.1.1 for pressurized flammable liquids and pressurized gas fires.
The higher discharge rate enables a greater volume of dry chemical agent to be applied to the fires more quickly, providing increased firefighting capability as compared to a standard fire extinguisher.
Applications include propane filling and storage locations, gas/fuel stations, construction sites, maintenance facilities, hazardous material cabinets, small paint booths, marinas, salvage/recycling centers, and warehouse/storage facilities.
“We continue to add to our proven ANSUL Portables product line and are excited to offer a high-flow, stored-pressure fire extinguisher designed for pressurized fires,” said Rae Lynn Kolbas, product manager, Portables, Tyco Fire Protection Products.
“The High-Flow, Stored-Pressure Fire Extinguisher fulfills a market need for users who don’t require an industrial cartridge-operated extinguisher, but need a hand-portable extinguisher that meets industry standards for fires involving pressurized flammable liquid and gas fires.”
