Overview
The Amerex B417T is a 2.5 pound ABC dry chemical fire extinguisher built for close-quarters mounting in a kitchen, workshop, boat, or small office, and it ships with a wall bracket so it is ready to hang near an exit.
Amerex makes fire suppression gear mostly sold into commercial and marine settings, and this small ABC unit carries that background into a size meant for tight spaces rather than whole-house coverage. It is a straightforward extinguisher with no digital gauge or smart features, just a dry chemical charge sized for a fast first response.
- ABC dry chemical fire agent
- 2.5 pound cylinder
- Wall bracket included
- Rated for Class A, B, and C fires
Who it's for
Fits anyone who wants a compact extinguisher for a single room, boat, RV, or workbench rather than one large unit meant to protect an entire house. Also suits anyone replacing an expired unit in a spot where a bigger cylinder will not fit.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Compact enough for tight mounting spots

Performance notes
The 2.5 pound ABC dry chemical charge is rated for ordinary combustibles, flammable liquids, and energized electrical equipment, covering the three fire classes most likely in a home or small workspace. Amerex does not list a discharge time or range for this unit, so treat it as a first-response tool for a fire caught early rather than an established one.
