Building placement (NFPA 10)
In commercial buildings, portable fire extinguisher placement follows NFPA 10, not the DOT vehicle rules below. Every point on the floor must be within 75 ft of a Class A extinguisher. Mount the unit with its top no more than 5 ft above the floor and at least 4 in of floor clearance (NFPA 10 §6.1.3.8). A 2-A or larger extinguisher within 75 ft covers most light-hazard areas, but the required size and count are set by your authority having jurisdiction (AHJ).
Cabinet fit
At 4-1/4 in diameter and 16-3/8 in tall, it fits virtually any standard semi-recessed extinguisher cabinet, including both 5 lb and 10 lb cabinet tubs, with room to spare.
DOT Vehicle Size Recommendations
DOT 49 CFR §393.95 requires commercial motor vehicles to carry a UL-listed fire extinguisher. Minimum size depends on vehicle class and whether the load is placarded hazmat.
| Size | UL Rating | Recommended For |
|---|---|---|
| 2.5 lb | 1-A:10-B:C | Pickups, light service vehicles, CMVs under 10,001 lb GVWR |
| 5 lb | 3-A:40-B:C | Semi-trucks, box trucks, flatbeds, buses (standard CMVs) |
| 10 lb | 4-A:80-B:C | Placarded hazmat transport, tanker trucks, large fleets |
| 20 lb | 10-A:120-B:C | Heavy-duty extended-fire scenarios, high-risk cargo |
See the full DOT fire extinguisher requirements guide for hazmat rules, mounting specifications, and inspection intervals.
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. The monthly visual inspection is one you can do yourself.
