Kitchen fire protection
The AMEREX CORP 260 is a 6 liter Class K wet chemical extinguisher designed for commercial and home kitchens where cooking oils and fats create high-temperature fires. It uses a potassium acetate based agent tested by UL for restaurant hazards.
Sustained discharge performance
The unit delivers a 10-12 foot range with a 53 second discharge time, letting operators maintain distance while the agent cools and smothers hot oil fires. The stored pressure design keeps flow consistent for the full duration without pressure drop-off.
Installation and common issues
A wall hanger is included for fixed mounting near cooking stations. The stainless steel valve and cylinder resist corrosion in humid kitchen environments. Operators must aim at the base of flames; the hose-and-spray nozzle cannot redirect agent once discharged.

Questions about this item
How much noise or heat does the 260 model generate when it sits on the wall all day?
The stored-pressure design has no moving parts while mounted, so it produces no noise and no heat during standby.
What mounting hardware must I already have to install this extinguisher?
A wall hanger is included, so only suitable wall fixings for the cylinder weight are required.
Will the 6 litre wet chemical agent damage my older stainless-steel cooking appliances if discharged?
The potassium acetate agent leaves no dry chemical residue, so it will not corrode or stain existing stainless-steel surfaces.
