The largest of the disposable, Halon blend models, the RT A1200 is a popular alternative to our 2.5 lb. gauged extinguishers for those who put a premium on light weight and low maintenance vs. the desirability of a gauge and the ability to recharge after use. 12 year shelf life.

These effective fire extinguishers contain a proprietary blend of the "liquid streaming agent," Halon 1211, and the gaseous "total flooding agent," Halon 1301. The blend's power lies in the Halon 1301, which is both a firefighting agent and a propellant. These compact, lightweight extinguishers are low maintenance and non-rechargeable
