You asked for it, so Amerex has made a change in our water-based extinguishers. We have eliminated the air valve on all of our stainless steel extinguishers*, except the 2 1/2 gallon Water (Model 240). This change creates several benefits:

• Recharge will be required by a Distributor using an adapter
• Less likelyhood that an unqualified person will recharge these units with compressed air
• The Distributor can assure that the proper agent is being used in each of these models
• An optional pin-type wall hanger may be used
• A potential leak point is eliminated (did you know that the cap is the real pressure sealant and should never be left off an air valve?)

You may have noticed this change on our recently introduced Water Mist extinguisher.

All of these models are specialized, highly effective fire extinguishers, designed and tested for specific uses with specific agents. It is important that Amerex Distributors service these Models in order to assure that the service and recharge is done properly and that they will give optimum performance.
