Buckeye Model C-50-SE: UL Rating
The Buckeye Model C-50-SE has a UL Rating of 20B:C. The breakdown of the UL rating for the Buckeye Model C-50-SE would look like this:
B = The number 20 that precedes the letters B:C is the number of square feet that the extinguisher can cover or is able to extinguish. Therefore, a 20B equates to being able to extinguish 20 square feet of a Class B fire.
C = The C in the equation means the agent is non-conductive and could also be used on a Class C fire.
Note: The Buckeye Model C-50-SE is often used for fires that involve sensitive equipment.
*The Buckeye Model C-500-SE is not suitable for Class A fires.

Can the Buckeye Model C-50-SE be used on oil rigs or boat docks?
While the Buckeye Model C-50-SE is built to withstand harsh environmental conditions, fire extinguishers that are used offshore on oil rigs or along the coastline where the extreme weather environment may cause rust or damage to the fire extinguisher, it is recommended that an offshore fire extinguisher is used.
