Fire extinguisher Alecto BS-2, foam, 2 L

Alecto BS-2, foam, 2 L is a compact manual fire extinguisher that uses a foam extinguishing agent to fight class A (solid combustibles) and limited class B (flammable liquids) fires. The 2-liter capacity and pressure-rated cylinder provide a balance between portability and effective discharge time, making this model suitable for protected indoor environments and small vehicles. Designed for straightforward manual operation, the extinguisher features a discharge hose and a simple lever mechanism for controlled foam application to surfaces and flames.

Advantages

The foam formulation suppresses flames and helps cool hot surfaces to reduce re-ignition risk while forming a sealing layer on liquid fuels. With a 2 L capacity the extinguisher is lightweight and easy to handle, allowing rapid deployment in confined spaces. The pressure-rated cylinder and manual trigger give reliable, immediate operation without complex maintenance routines. Its size and discharge characteristics make it practical for homes, offices, workshops and certain vehicles where foam is the preferred suppression medium.

Suitable for

• Small domestic kitchens and living areas
• Office rooms and communal spaces
• Small workshops and hobby garages
• Passenger vehicles and delivery vans (where local regulations permit)

How to use

Confirm that the type of fire is suitable for foam extinguishing (solid combustibles or small liquid fires). Securely remove any safety pin or seal according to the product markings, aim the discharge hose at the base of the flames from a safe distance, then squeeze the lever to apply foam in a sweeping motion. Maintain a steady movement to cover burning surfaces and cool hotspots; move closer only as the fire diminishes. After use, have the extinguisher inspected and replaced or professionally serviced according to local safety regulations.

Usage recommendations

Store the extinguisher in an accessible, clearly visible location away from direct heat sources. Ensure periodic visual inspections for pressure and physical condition, and follow local fire-safety regulations for maintenance and replacement intervals. Do not use foam extinguishers on fires involving energized electrical equipment unless the device documentation explicitly permits this; for larger or rapidly spreading fires evacuate the area and contact emergency services.
