Why Powder Extinguishers Are Popular in Lebanon

This simplifies training, maintenance, and overall fire safety planning.
Sizes & Ratings
Choosing the right size: Match the extinguisher capacity to your space size and fire risk level. Larger spaces and higher risks require bigger units.
| Size | Typical Use | Notes | Visual |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 kg | Vehicles, small rooms | Compact bracket mounting |  |
| 2-3.5 kg | Shops, offices, small businesses | General-purpose coverage | |
| 6 kg | Warehouses, corridors, medium spaces | Higher rating for larger risks |  |
| 12 kg | Large industrial areas, high-risk zones | Maximum portable capacity | |
Small offices typically need 2-3.5kg units.
Larger spaces benefit from 6kg or 12kg extinguishers.
Higher kg ratings provide longer discharge times.
They also cover larger fire areas effectively.
Consider who will use the extinguisher.
Heavier units may require trolley mounting.
