Pressurised. Fire extinguishers for type A fires, i.e. fires in wood, fabric and paper, as well as type B fires, i.e. fires in flammable liquids. e.g. petrol, oil, solvents, paints and plastics. They are also approved for type C fires, i.e. gas fires. The extinguishing agent does not conduct electricity, so they can also be used in electrical equipment without risk of personal injury. Housegard powder extinguishers therefore cover all applications.

The smaller models are suitable for cars and vans, trucks and pleasure boats, while the larger models are intended for industry, farms, workshops, warehouses, construction sites, boiler plants, petrol stations, garages, villas and holiday homes. Housegard PE2TG and PE6TEA are also ideal for vehicles transporting dangerous goods, as they meet the requirements of ADR-S.

The valve is fitted with a pressure gauge, which indicates the pressure in the extinguisher, i.e. it will tell you if the extinguisher is ready for use or must be recharged, as well as a safety device to protect the container against overpressure. The carrying handle is combined with the trigger, which means that you can carry the extinguisher and operate the valve with the same hand. The jet shuts off immediately when the trigger is released. The extinguishers are supplied with a suspension device.
