Summary
The Commander Contempo CX-CO2-005-DSS is a 5kg CO2 fire extinguisher combining dependable fire protection with a superb highly polished stainless steel finish. Designed for environments where appearance matters as much as performance, it is the ideal choice for luxury hotels, modern bars and restaurants, car showrooms, and contemporary office spaces where standard red extinguishers would detract from a carefully considered interior.
With a 5kg capacity and a fire rating of 34B, this unit offers greater extinguishing power than its 2kg counterpart, making it well suited to larger areas at risk from Class B fires involving flammable liquids, or from electrical fires. CO2 is a clean, residue-free agent that leaves no mess after discharge — an important consideration wherever sensitive equipment or high-end furnishings are present.
Manufactured to BS EN3 and CE marked, the CX-CO2-005-DSS meets all relevant UK and European standards. Every component is corrosion-resistant, and the stainless steel construction ensures durability even in demanding environments. Supplied complete with a double-wall swivel horn and wall-mounting bracket, it is ready to install straight from the box.

FAQs
What fires is the CX-CO2-005-DSS suitable for?
This extinguisher is rated for Class B fires involving flammable liquids and is also suitable for use on electrical fires. CO2 is non-conductive and leaves no residue, making it ideal for server rooms, offices, commercial kitchens with electrical appliances, and similar environments.
What is the difference between the 2kg and 5kg Contempo CO2 extinguishers?
Both units share the same polished stainless steel finish, fire rating (34B), and technical specification. The key difference is capacity — the 5kg unit holds more than double the extinguishing agent, making it better suited to larger spaces or higher-risk areas where a greater volume of CO2 may be required to suppress a fire effectively.
Does CO2 leave a residue after use?
No. CO2 disperses completely after discharge, leaving no powder or foam residue. This makes the CX-CO2-005-DSS particularly well suited to sensitive environments where post-discharge clean-up would cause damage or significant disruption.
Why choose the Contempo range over a standard red extinguisher?
The Contempo range is specifically designed for locations where aesthetics are a priority. The highly polished stainless steel finish allows the extinguisher to complement premium interiors rather than compromise them — while still meeting all relevant fire safety standards including BS EN3.
What standard is this extinguisher manufactured to?
The CX-CO2-005-DSS is manufactured to BS EN3 and carries the CE mark, confirming compliance with the applicable European standard for portable fire extinguishers. CE marking is a minimum legal requirement for fire extinguishers distributed in the UK and Europe.
What is included in the box?
The extinguisher is supplied complete with a double-wall swivel horn and a wall-mounting bracket, ready for immediate installation.
What warranty is provided?
The CX-CO2-005-DSS is covered by a 5-year warranty. A full range of spare parts is also available to support long-term serviceability and ongoing fire safety maintenance compliance.
