An ABC fire extinguisher is a multi-purpose dry chemical fire extinguisher designed to effectively combat Class A (ordinary combustibles such as wood, paper, and cloth), Class B (flammable liquids including petrol, diesel, and oils), and Class C (electrical equipment) fires. Due to its wide application and ease of use, it is the most commonly installed fire extinguisher across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors in Nepal.

The extinguisher is filled with mono ammonium phosphate dry powder, which works by interrupting the chemical reaction of fire and forming a protective layer that smothers flames and prevents re-ignition. It is housed in a robust, corrosion-resistant steel cylinder and equipped with a pressure gauge for quick status checking, a safety pin, and a discharge hose for fast and controlled operation during emergencies.

In Nepal, ABC fire extinguishers are commonly available in 1 kg, 2 kg, 4 kg, 6 kg, and 9 kg sizes, making them suitable for different risk levels and area coverage.

1 kg & 2 kg sizes are widely used for homes, vehicles, and small offices.

4 kg & 6 kg sizes are standard for offices, schools, hospitals, hotels, shops, and commercial buildings.

9 kg extinguishers are preferred for warehouses, factories, and higher-risk industrial environments.

ABC fire extinguishers are suitable for use in homes, offices, hotels, hospitals, factories, warehouses, and public buildings. Designed in compliance with international fire safety standards, they offer reliable performance, long service life, and essential protection against fire hazards in Nepal.
