Traditional ABC dry chemical extinguishers can cause dangerous splatter and fail to prevent re-ignition. The Amerex B262 wet chemical extinguisher works through two critical mechanisms: it rapidly cools the burning oil below its auto-ignition temperature and creates a soapy foam barrier (saponification) that prevents oxygen from reaching the fuel, stopping re-ignition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow ANSULEX Low pH Technology Works:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ANSULEX Low pH wet chemical agent is specifically formulated for modern cooking oils. When discharged, it quickly knocks down flames, cools the hot oil, and reacts with the cooking oil to create a foam blanket that seals the surface, preventing dangerous re-ignition even as the appliance cools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegulatory Compliance:\u003c\/strong\u003e NFPA 96 requires Class K fire extinguishers in commercial kitchens with cooking equipment. The Amerex B262 helps you meet these requirements and protect your staff, customers, and business.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant Safety Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Always turn off cooking equipment before using a wet chemical extinguisher. Discharge from a safe distance using a sweeping motion. This extinguisher is designed specifically for Class K fires and should be part of a comprehensive kitchen fire protection system that includes hood suppression systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeed a mounting bracket?\u003c\/strong\u003e Check out our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/fire-extinguisher-brackets\"\u003emounting bracket options\u003c\/a\u003e for secure, professional installation in your commercial kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eView Amerex Wet Chemical Data Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"subtitle\" id=\"videos\"\u003eOther Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ProductDetailsGrid prodAccordionContent\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DetailRow\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Label\"\u003eAgent Type:\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Value\"\u003eWet Chemical\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DetailRow\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Label\"\u003eValve Type:\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Value\"\u003eStainless Steel\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DetailRow\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Label\"\u003eDesign:\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Value\"\u003eHose \u0026amp; Nozzle\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DetailRow\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Label\"\u003eModel Number:\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Value\"\u003eB262\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DetailRow\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Label\"\u003eUL Rating:\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Value\"\u003e2A:K\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DetailRow\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Label\"\u003eCapacity (lbs.):\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Value\"\u003e2.5\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DetailRow\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Label\"\u003eShipping WT.
