Compare Halotron Sizes
Halotron I is a clean agent that leaves no residue and conducts no electricity, developed as a drop-in replacement for Halon 1211. Buckeye makes this 5 lb stored-pressure unit with a fixed nozzle for server rooms, electrical rooms, and equipment areas. Rated 5-B:C and manufactured in accordance with ANSI/UL 2129 and ANSI/UL 711.
Because Halotron discharges as a rapidly evaporating liquid and leaves nothing behind, it is the right choice anywhere ABC dry chemical would do collateral damage: server cabinets, telecom gear, lab instruments, and electronics. Dry chemical extinguishes the fire but leaves corrosive residue that keeps damaging boards and drives afterward.
Portable Halotron units complement fixed clean-agent systems governed by NFPA 2001, with NFPA 75 covering fire protection for IT equipment rooms; for placement and maintenance see NFPA 10. Steel cylinder with polyester epoxy powder coating and a rugged all-metal valve assembly. Made in Kings Mountain, NC. NFPA 75 also covers firestopping the cable and conduit penetrations through the room's fire-rated walls, the passive side of the standard; see our data center firestop compliance guide.

Matching this unit to a written spec: the 5 lb model is rated 5-B:C, flammable liquids and electrical only, with no Class A rating. Spec lines that call for 1-A or 2-A coverage need the 11 lb or 15.5 lb sizes in the Halotron collection. The manufacturer datasheet (PDF) has the full spec table, and our UL 2129 page explains the agent designations spec writers use. For project quantities, request a bulk quote.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this on energized electrical equipment?
Yes. Halotron I is non-conductive, so it is safe on live electrical equipment. This 5 lb unit is rated 5-B:C, covering Class B flammable liquids and Class C electrical fires. It does not carry a Class A rating, so add a Class A unit where ordinary combustibles are also present.
Will it leave residue or damage electronics?
No. Halotron discharges as a rapidly evaporating liquid and leaves no residue, so it will not contaminate the equipment it protects. ABC dry chemical is also rated for electrical fires but leaves a corrosive powder that can keep damaging boards after the fire is out and usually means cleaning or replacing the gear.
Is it a good fit for a server or electrical room?
Yes. The 5 lb unit has a 9 to 15 ft discharge range and is sized for server rooms, electrical rooms, and equipment areas, including protecting installed gear during construction before commissioning. A discharge near live equipment will not force the teardown that dry chemical would.
What standards does it meet?
It is listed to ANSI/UL 711 and rated 5-B:C, and it supports NFPA 10 for placement and maintenance. Portable Halotron units complement fixed clean-agent systems under NFPA 2001, with NFPA 75 covering fire protection for IT equipment rooms.
Where is it made?
In the USA, at Buckeye's Kings Mountain, North Carolina plant.
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. 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.
