1. Stainless steel handle and pin
The handle and safety pin used on P50 extinguishers are designed to last for the entire 20 year life cycle of the units and are made of high strength stainless steel. All components of the P50 have been chosen to ensure P50 extinguishers are the most durable fire extinguisher available.
2. Dual pressure indicators
P50 fire extinguishers have been fitted with a unique second indicator gauge which provides complete reassurance by allowing users to verify each pressure gauge against the other. This exclusive feature is just one of a number of innovations used in the construction of P50 extinguishers that make them one of the most reliable extinguishers on the market.
3. Brass head assembly
The brass head assembly on P50 extinguishers is precision manufactured and then nickel plated for extra protection and an aesthetically pleasing finish. These strong and highly durable materials eliminate the risk of corrosion and give you peace of mind.
4. Super strong Aramid inner core
The innovative aramid fibre weave used in the construction of the inner core of P50 extinguishers creates an incredibly strong durable and lightweight cylinder. Aramid is one of the toughest composite materials known to man and is durable enough to be used in applications as diverse as bulletproof vests, fireproof gloves and tow ropes.
The extinguishers have undergone extensive testing including a comprehensive 12,000 cycle pressure test as well as a safety test where the recommended pressure tolerance is exceeded by more than double the working pressure of the extinguisher without rupturing the cylinder.
5. Durable hose and stainless fixings
The hose on P50 extinguishers is fitted with durable stainless steel fixings and the hose itself has a proven lifespan of 25 years meaning you will never have to replace it.
6. Fire retardant, UV protected polyethylene outer body
The plastic outer shell of P50 extinguishers has been rigorously tested to ensure that it provides durability in even the most hostile environments. The shell is UV resistant and corrosion-proof which means the extinguisher is protected against scratching, chipping or rusting, eliminating some of the most common reasons for standard extinguishers to need replacing.
