UL Rating:
The UL Rating of the Buckeye OS W-150 is: 10-A:120B:C. The breakdown of the UL rating for the Buckeye Model OS W-150 would look like this:
A = “Class A” fire and the amount of chemicals/agent in the wheeled fire extinguisher equivalent to the amount of water the extinguisher holds equal to 1.25 gallons of water. The number 10 that precedes the class fire letter A is the number of equivalents. Therefore, the 10A equates to 12.5 gallons of water extinguishing capability (10 x 1.25 = 12.5).
B = “Class B” The number 120 that precedes the letters B:C is the number of square feet that the extinguisher can cover or is able to extinguish. Therefore, a 120B equates to being able to extinguish 120 square feet of a Class B fire.
C =”The C “Class C” in the equation means the agent is non-conductive and could also be used on a Class C fire.
Note: The Buckeye OS W-150 can be used on Class C fires and is designed to be used on fires that involve sensitive electrical equipment. The agent (Halotron I) is a clean agent and residue free.
