The OVAL Brand Low Profile Multi-Purpose Fire Extinguishers are revolutionary in design, solving several problems that have persisted for years. Their slim design fits easily into a standard 2 x 4 wall without a semi-recessed or surface-mounted extinguisher cabinet. Oval Brand is the only fire extinguisher that consistently complies with the ADA, ICC, and IFC protruding-object requirements when surface-mounted.
Flush cabinets are now always an option. When surface-mounted with its proprietary hook, it only protrudes 3 1/2 inches from the wall, making it blind, low-visibility, and wheelchair-friendly. It also has a proprietary hook, so knocking it off the wall is almost impossible.
Fights Class A (Wood, Paper, Cloth), Class B (Flammable Liquids and Gases), and Class C (Electrical Conductivity) fires.
