Portable Fire Extinguishers
Code and Maintenance Requirements
For type B fires, the number represents the number of square feet that the extinguisher will handle. A number 2 is 2 square feet, a number 5, 5 square feet, etc. So a 1A5BC rated extinguisher is designed to have about a 1.25 gallon-of-water equivalency and is designed to handle a fire not larger than five square feet. Feb 28, 2006 Jeff, unfotunately my Heavy Vehicle Pyrene is in the ( frozen)country house, so all I have handy is a non Heavy Vehicle Pyrene,if that is of any use: Two patent numbers, and serial number N° V129554,brass tag. Has very, very tiny traces of O.D. Semigloss paint,no sure if original. For what is worth. This is a Brass Pyrene Soda-acid Antique Fire extinguisher. It says on it that it was made in Newark new jersey. It has a number on it, and I don’t know if the number is a model number or serial number but the number is A-1-C425954.Josh S-Email: GadgetServerNetwork@hotmail.com.
