The ANSUL CLEANGUARD+ 3.5 lb Clean Agent Fire Extinguisher is built for locations where a traditional dry chemical extinguisher could create unnecessary mess, contamination, or damage. Designed for the protection of light and ordinary hazards, this compact extinguisher is a smart choice for commercial, technical, and compliance-driven applications where sensitive equipment and valuable contents need cleaner fire protection.
This model uses FK-5-1-12 clean agent, a colorless, odorless, electrically non-conductive agent that discharges as a liquid and flashes to a gas for effective suppression. It is residue-free, will not cause thermal shock damage to delicate electronics, and is accepted by the EPA SNAP program for commercial, industrial, and military use. It also offers zero ozone depletion potential, less than 1 global warming potential, and a very short atmospheric lifespan.
The CA03VB model has a 3.5 lb agent capacity, 2-B:C UL/ULC rating, 8.9 second discharge time, 8–10 ft effective range, and a charged weight of 6.08 lb. Its compact size makes it well suited for installations where space is limited but dependable clean-agent protection is still required.
ANSUL also builds the CLEANGUARD+ series with a large easy-to-read pressure gauge, trilingual mylar nameplate, rechargeable design, and durable steel cylinder construction. The valve body is made from black anodized aluminum alloy for added corrosion resistance, and the extinguisher is rated for an operating temperature range of -40°F to 120°F (-40°C to 49°C).
Recommended applications include:
computer rooms, essential communication areas, data and document storage rooms, laboratories, and rooms containing sensitive or irreplaceable equipment.
