Buckeye 10 lb CO2 Fire Extinguisher

Carbon dioxide is a clean extinguishing agent that leaves no residue and conducts no electricity. It works by displacing oxygen at the fire and cooling the surface, which is why it's safe around energized electrical equipment where water or dry chemical would cause damage. Buckeye makes this 10 lb CO2 unit rated 10-B:C with a 9-second discharge and a 4 to 8 foot effective range.

Primary use cases are server rooms, telecom closets, laboratories, machine shops, and control rooms. CO2 dissipates into the atmosphere after discharge, so there's nothing to wipe off boards, drives, or precision equipment. IT equipment room fire protection under NFPA 75 specifically calls out clean agents over water or dry chemical. Portable CO2 extinguishers work alongside fixed clean-agent suppression systems governed by NFPA 2001.

One thing to size for: CO2 produces no lingering suppression. Once the gas disperses, fuel that stays above its autoignition temperature can reflash. In confined spaces, a full discharge can displace enough oxygen to endanger occupants. Match extinguisher size to room volume.

Constructed from 6061 TG aluminum, plated brass valve, black discharge horn, trigger lever operation. DOT and USCG approved. Operating temperature range of -22°F to +120°F.
