Ansul CD15-MIL Military Specification 15 lb Carbon Dioxide Hand Portable Fire Extinguisher
The steel-shell Ansul Model CD15-MIL carbon dioxide extinguisher is designed protect areas where class B (flammable liquids and gases) or Class C (energized electrical equipment) fires could occur. They may be used indoors where winds and drafts do not affect discharge or where a clean extinguishing agent is required. Typical applications include laboratories and electronic equipment.
The extinguisher, in combination with the bracket (sold separately Ansul p/n 442529), has passed MIL-S-901D and MIL-STD-167-1A testing. Both the extinguisher and bracket have also been tested to meet the requirements for bulkhead installation on naval vessels. This model is not UL/ULC Listed.
