Premium Dry Powder Fire Extinguisher (ABC) - 4kg to 9kg
The Premium Dry Powder (ABC) Fire Extinguisher from BuildMate is an essential, multi-purpose fire safety solution designed for Kenyan homes, offices, vehicles, and industrial sites. Unlike single-use extinguishers, our ABC dry powder formula effectively combats Class A (solid combustibles like wood and paper), Class B (flammable liquids like petrol and paint), Class C (flammable gases), and Class E (live electrical equipment) fires. Each unit is factory-certified, pre-charged, and features a clear pressure gauge for instant readiness verification. Housed in a corrosion-resistant, seamless steel cylinder with a durable powder coating, it withstands harsh environments while ensuring reliable performance when you need it most. Every purchase includes a heavy-duty wall mounting bracket, safety pin, tamper seal, and clear operating instructions for immediate emergency response.

Customer Reviews
Purchased twenty 4kg dry powder extinguishers for our office building. Quality is excellent, NEMA tags are legitimate, and BuildMate provided free mounting guidance. Highly recommended for corporate compliance.
The 2kg ABC extinguisher is perfect for my welding and electrical workshop. It gives me peace of mind knowing I'm covered for both electrical and material fires. Fast delivery to the coast.
Bought the 1kg and 2kg units for my matatu fleet. They fit perfectly in the vehicle mounts, and the pressure gauges are easy for my drivers to check daily. Solid build quality.
