Figures are from Dixon's fire equipment catalogue. The existing store descriptions show a fire rating of 1A:20B:E for every size; the catalogue rating for each size is the one in the table. Dixon's documents give the full weight of the 4.5 kg and 9.0 kg units differently, so full weights are not shown.
Selecting the right option
Choose the size from the fire rating you need and where the extinguisher will sit: the 1.0 kg is rated 1A:20B:E and the 9.0 kg is rated 6A:80B:E, and the larger units are taller and heavier. Check the rating against your site risk assessment or fire safety plan before you buy. For a vehicle, see the quick release bracket and the complete kit in Related products, and for tracking inspections see the maintenance record tag.
