JL Industries Ambassador Steel Semi-Recessed Fire Rated Fire Extinguisher Cabinet 10 lb 1017V10FX2

The JL Industries Ambassador 1017V10FX2 is the fire-rated build of the semi-recessed 3 in rolled-trim Ambassador cabinet, for a 10 lb extinguisher, made in the USA. The Fire-FX2 construction lines the cabinet with lightweight mineral wool insulation and is UL classified and labeled up to 2 hours in accordance with UL 1479 (ASTM E814) and CAN/ULC-S115, so the cabinet can go into a fire-resistance-rated wall without compromising the wall's rating for its listed assemblies. Outside, it looks the same as the non-rated cabinet: vertical-duo clear acrylic door, continuous hinge, zinc-plated pull handle with roller catch, white powder-coat steel.

Rated wall or not?

The fire-rated build needs a larger rough opening than the non-rated 1017V10: 12-13/16 in × 26-5/16 in × 4 in against 11-1/2 in × 25 in × 3-1/8 in. The two are not interchangeable once the wall is framed, so confirm the wall's rating before you cut the opening. A listed cabinet is valid only for its listed wall assemblies; confirm the assembly with your AHJ. Our Fire Extinguisher Cabinet Selection Guide covers when a rated cabinet is required.

Extinguisher compatibility

JL's fit matrix rates this tub for standard 2.5 to 10 lb dry-chemical extinguishers, with wider-bodied clean-agent units to 5 lb and 5 lb CO2. Fit is set by the extinguisher's cylinder diameter against this cabinet's 6 in interior (tub) depth, not by weight. Confirm the cylinder diameter on your extinguisher's cut sheet against the tub depth above. See our Fire Extinguisher Cabinet Selection Guide for the full fit matrix.

Placement and mounting height follow the NFPA 10 requirements.
