Commercial kitchen grease fires don't respond to ABC or CO2 the way other fires do. ABC powder clumps on hot cooking oil. CO2 cools the surface but lets it flash back once it warms. Buckeye makes a wet chemical Class K agent for exactly this situation. The 2.5 gallon model uses the same potassium acetate and potassium citrate agent as the 6 liter, rated 1-A:K, with a longer 73-second discharge for extended coverage. Pick it when one unit has to cover more cooking equipment or when response time matters more than portability.
The misting nozzle applies the agent as a fine spray to prevent grease splash. Stainless steel cylinder, plated brass valve, Schrader recharge valve, wall hook included. Listed to ANSI/UL 8 and ANSI/UL 711.
Plan review often gets this wrong: the portable is UL 711. The pre-engineered hood suppression system over the cookline is UL 300. Two separate listings, two separate products, both required under NFPA 96 anywhere solid fuel or vegetable oil cooking operations exist. Pre-engineered wet chemical systems are governed by NFPA 17A.
Buckeye tested this unit on an 18" by 24" fryer. Common installs are large commercial kitchens, institutional cafeterias, banquet halls, and facilities with multiple fryer stations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this extinguisher come with an inspection tag?
No. New extinguishers ship untagged. A service tag records maintenance performed on a unit that is already in service, so there is nothing to record on a new one yet. Under NFPA 10 the annual maintenance is done by a trained person and the tag is attached then. In a commercial kitchen this unit is usually serviced on the same visit as the hood suppression system, which NFPA 96 requires to be inspected semiannually. The monthly visual inspection is one you can do yourself.
Can I return this fire extinguisher?
Once shipped, charged fire extinguishers are not returnable. They are DOT-regulated hazardous materials (compressed gas, UN 1044) and cannot be shipped back through normal parcel carriers. If your unit arrives damaged or defective, email support@usmadesupply.com with photos and we will work with you on a resolution.
