P50 Fire Extinguishers.

Zoomup over 4 years ago

These new fire extinguishers are able to be used on electrical fires even though they are a foam type. Has anyone used one, and if so do they work well? They apparently do not need a fire engineer to service them annually and they have a ten year life. I have no connection with the makers or sellers.

Firstly an extinguisher engineer would carryout a service on a fire extinguisher ?, not used one but they are very expensive compared to the industry standard ones. So to recap, it's alot cheaper to buy standard extinguishers but these have to be checked annually, the P50 comes in at a very high entry point and I believe would still require an annual check in line with bs5306.
