JL Industries Clear Vu Bubble Semi-Recessed Locking Fire Extinguisher Cabinet 10 lb 1527G25

The JL Industries Clear Vu 1527G25 is a semi-recessed fire extinguisher cabinet with a clear acrylic bubble in place of a framed door, made in the USA. The full-view dome keeps the extinguisher in plain sight, which is the whole point of a bubble cabinet: nothing to open to check the gauge. This is the satin anodized aluminum build with a 3 in rolled trim, and the G25 door style adds the Saf-T-Lok, so the cabinet stays visible but does not open without a key.

Extinguisher compatibility

The tub is a shallow 4 in deep with the bubble projecting 2-1/2 in in front of it, and JL requires the extinguisher to hang from a J-hook mounted to the back of the tub. JL rates this size for its standard 2.5 to 10 lb dry-chemical extinguishers, plus clean-agent units to 5 lb and 5 lb CO2. Because the depth budget is tighter than a standard cabinet, confirm your extinguisher's cylinder diameter against the tub depth and bubble projection before ordering. See our Fire Extinguisher Cabinet Selection Guide for how depth drives fit.

Placement and mounting height follow the NFPA 10 requirements.

Where this model fits

The 3 in rolled trim projects further than the flat and square trims in this series, which is why it is not one of the ADA models. In a corridor or other means of egress, use the 1515 flat trim or the 1516 1-1/2 in square instead. The same bubble is built in steel and stainless steel, in red or bronze, and in a pull-handle version without the lock; for any of those, request a quote from this page.
