2kg Co2 Fire Extinguishers
A 2kg CO2 fire extinguisher is a compact clean-agent unit used where you need fast cover for live electrical equipment and small flammable liquid fires. It suits offices, server rooms, electrical intake areas and similar spaces because it leaves no residue, discharges quickly and helps reduce damage to sensitive equipment.
Where a 2kg CO2 extinguisher works best
Install this extinguisher close to electrical risk points and escape routes where people can reach it quickly without moving towards the fire. It is well suited to offices, computer rooms, server rooms, electrical intake rooms and areas with smaller flammable liquid risks. A CO2 unit is commonly paired with water or foam cover elsewhere in the building because it is intended for electrical equipment and Class B liquids rather than ordinary combustibles.
Installation height, discharge time and rating context
Because this model weighs 5.1kg, mount it so the handle sits at about 1 metre from the floor, or place it on a suitable stand where wall fixing is not practical. This unit has a 9 second discharge time. Its 34B rating refers to the flammable-liquid test fire size under test conditions, not an official square-metre room figure, so there is no accurate m² conversion to claim. During use, CO2 is commonly directed from roughly 1 to 2.5 metres away.
What this extinguisher helps you achieve
When you place a 2kg CO2 extinguisher in the right electrical risk area, you give staff fast first-response cover that can tackle smaller liquid fires, protect equipment from messy clean-up and improve access to the correct extinguisher in a stressful moment.
- ✅ Quicker response near live electrical equipment
- ✅ Less residue on computers and machinery
- ✅ Better cover for 34B flammable liquid risks

2kg CO2 fire extinguisher questions answered
What is a 2kg CO2 fire extinguisher used for? It is mainly used for live electrical equipment and Class B flammable liquid fires, especially where you want a clean discharge that will not leave residue on machinery or electronics.
Is a 2kg CO2 extinguisher enough for an office? It is a common choice for offices with electrical equipment, but it is usually part of a wider fire risk assessment and is often paired with water or foam cover for other fire types.
Can you use this extinguisher on computers and server rooms? Yes. CO2 is widely used around computers, server rooms and electrical intake areas because it is electrically non-conductive and leaves no powder or foam residue.
What does 34B mean on a CO2 extinguisher? It is the Class B fire test rating. The number shows the size of flammable-liquid test fire the extinguisher handled under test conditions. It is not an official square-metre room measurement.
Where should you not rely on a 2kg CO2 extinguisher alone? Do not rely on it as your only answer for paper, wood, textiles or cooking oil risks. It is best used where electrical equipment and smaller flammable liquid hazards are the main concern.
