Technical Specifications

Strike First ABC Series — Full Model Comparison

The SF-ABC30 stands apart as the largest-capacity unit in the Strike First ABC portable line, carrying the highest U.S.C.G. approval rating (Type B:C Size IV) and a full 28-second discharge time that gives operators maximum agent delivery in a single deployment. Its 90% MAP agent formulation and steel cylinder construction are built to withstand the temperature extremes and rough handling common on active job sites, from -65°F to 120°F.

Key Features & Benefits

Modified Universal Valve Body

The modified universal valve body accepts both pin and fork wall hooks, giving contractors flexibility in mounting configurations without requiring additional hardware. This simplifies installation across varied site conditions.

Steel Cylinder with Super Durable Polyester Powder Paint Finish

The steel cylinder is finished with a super durable polyester powder paint that provides superior corrosion resistance, keeping the unit serviceable in harsh outdoor or industrial environments. This extends the service life of the extinguisher and reduces maintenance costs over time.

Waterproof Stainless-Steel Gauge

The waterproof stainless steel pressure gauge ensures accurate pressure readings even in wet or humid conditions. Contractors can perform quick visual checks without concern for gauge degradation due to moisture exposure.

Reinforced Full-Grip Hard coat Anodized Aluminum Handle

The handle is reinforced and features a full grip hard coat anodized aluminum construction for durability and secure handling under stress. A firm, reliable grip is critical when seconds count during an emergency response.

Oversized Pull Pin with Retaining Strap

The oversized pull pin with retaining strap is designed for easier and faster activation, reducing the chance of fumbling during an emergency. Faster activation means more agent on the fire sooner, which is critical for Class A, B, and C fire control.

Color and Bar-Coded Labels

Color and bar code labels support accurate service and inspection tracking, which is essential for compliance with NFPA 10 service requirements. This feature streamlines annual inspections and maintenance recordkeeping for facilities managers and safety officers.

Wide Operating Temperature Range

Rated from -65°F to 120°F (-54°C to 49°C), the SF-ABC30 remains operational in extreme cold and heat environments. This makes it suitable for outdoor construction sites, cold storage facilities, and hot industrial settings alike.

Common Applications

Wood, Paper, and Cloth Fires (Class A)

The 90% MAP agent effectively suppresses ordinary combustible fires involving wood framing, paper materials, and fabric — common hazards on active construction sites and in warehouses.

Flammable Liquids and Gases (Class B)

Rated for Class B hazards, the SF-ABC30 is appropriate for areas where fuels, solvents, or compressed gases are stored or used, such as equipment yards, fuel storage areas, and mechanical rooms.

Energized Electrical Equipment (Class C)

The dry chemical agent is safe for use on energized electrical equipment, making this extinguisher suitable for electrical panels, generator rooms, and data or control rooms on job sites.

Commercial and Industrial Facilities

With its 10-A:120-B:C rating and 30 lb. capacity, the SF-ABC30 is well suited for large commercial buildings, manufacturing plants, and industrial facilities requiring high-capacity fire suppression coverage.

Marine and Fleet Applications

U.S.C.G. approval (Type A Size II, Type B:C Size IV) qualifies the SF-ABC30 for use in marine environments and on vessels where coast guard-compliant equipment is required.
