Universal in terms of characteristics and volume powder fire extinguisher. Attractive price-performance ratio. Suitable for equipping premises, construction sites, vehicles.


An effective fire extinguisher for extinguishing all classes of fires, with the widest range of applications. Fire extinguisher OP-4 can be installed as a primary fire extinguishing agent on cars and trucks, on special professional equipment, rural tractors and combines. OP-4 is suitable for service in most climatic zones - operation is possible at negative ambient temperatures up to forty degrees. Therefore, the use of a fire extinguisher OP-4 (h) for the acquisition of shields at construction sites, gas stations, and other street objects of urban social and commercial infrastructure is not prohibited.

The extinguishing agent is completely out of the cylinder in ten seconds. During extinguishing, it is recommended not to release all the powder at once, but by opening the valve for two to three seconds, distribute the charge of the fire extinguisher over the entire fire area. According to modern fire safety standards, it is believed that in standard-type rooms for two hundred meters of area, one product with a volume of five liters is enough. Depending on the class of the object, the number of fire extinguishers may vary.

Serviceability is determined by the reading of the pressure gauge, the pointer must be placed in the green indicator area. If the pressure gauge needle goes into the red zone, then the fire extinguisher must be recharged. Pressure gauges are checked annually, during the entire five-year service life. The OP-4 fire extinguisher is charged with powder of different quality, which must be indicated on the label. Cheap powders are not suitable for class A fires (wood, cardboard).

Technical characteristics of the fire extinguisher OP-4

The products are certified, the OP-4 fire extinguisher has a mandatory fire safety certificate.

OP-4 - a fire extinguisher (its characteristics must be studied), used in case of ignition of various combustible substances, problems with wiring (if the voltage is about 1000 V).

This model is the most popular. It features ease of use, convenient design, reliability. It is necessary not only to keep such fire equipment indoors, but also to know how to place it correctly, when to carry out maintenance.

Technical characteristics of the powder fire extinguisher OP-4. Complete set, passport

The OP-4 fire extinguisher device includes a trigger and a red cylinder containing powder inside. This is one of the most common models due to its cost, weight, dimensions, fire extinguishing abilities.

It is used to extinguish combustible materials, both solid and liquid, gaseous. Helps fight fires caused by wiring problems. But it is forbidden to use for extinguishing materials that can burn in an airless environment.

Before purchasing such fire equipment, it is imperative to study the overview of the characteristics of the OP-4 powder fire extinguisher:

  • the total mass of the fire extinguisher is about 6.3 kg, while the weight of the charge is 4 kg;
  • sizes - 42 and 15 cm;
  • type - download;
  • used filler - fire extinguishing powder;
  • operating pressure in the fire extinguisher - 1.4 MPa;
  • jet length - up to 3 m;

  • operating temperatures — from -30 to +500°С;
  • service life - up to 10 years.

Use and placement in the premises. Equipment standards

Scope: premises and vehicles.

Basic Rules:

  1. Pull out the check ring. Then the seal is broken, which blocks the accidental activation of the device. Keep the bell in the direction of the place with fire. Pull the lever.
  2. When extinguishing a fire, do not stand against the wind.
  3. If a flat surface catches fire, then direct the jet first to the nearest place.
  4. If liquid substances are burning, extinguish from top to bottom.
  5. If the wall is on fire, then act from the bottom up.
  6. If there are several fire extinguishers, then use them at the same time at once, and not in turn.
  7. Make sure that the fire does not reappear in the treated areas.
  8. After the end of the use of OP-4, take it for refilling.

The OP-4 fire extinguisher must be placed so that it is not exposed to direct sunlight, heat, moisture do not act, there is no mechanical effect, no aggressive environment conditions.

According to the rules of safety and labor protection, it is necessary to place the structure in places where there will be quick access to them. It is best to leave near areas where ignition is most likely to occur, as well as near the exit from the room, in the corridors.

In warehouses and industrial premises, it is supposed to install special points with fire-fighting equipment. If there is a lot of equipment there, then there should be signs in easily visible places. They are supposed to be left at a height of about 2-2.5 m from the floor. The distance from the likely place of fire to the fire extinguisher should not be more than 20 m in public places. For category A, B and C - 30 m, for G - 40 m and 70 m - for D.

It is better to install the device on a special hanging stand or in lockers. In this case, all the inscriptions on it should be visible. The trigger and locker doors must be sealed. It is supposed to install the model so that its upper part is no more than 1.5 m from the floor.

It is allowed to leave it on the floor, but in this case it is necessary to fix the device so that it does not fall. The distance to the door should be such that the device does not interfere with its opening and closing. Do not leave in a place where the temperature is not suitable. It is forbidden to use OP-4 for purposes not related to fire fighting.

Maintenance, periodic checks and recharging of the fire extinguisher

The used fire extinguisher OP-4 must be serviced, thereby maintaining it in constant readiness for use.

It is required to check the reliability of the functioning of all parts during the entire period of operation (the service life of the OP-4 fire extinguisher is 10 years). Maintenance involves inspections, tests, and, if necessary, repairs and recharging.

It is necessary to periodically check the device in order to monitor its condition. It is necessary to inspect the reliability of all nodes, the location, the availability of instructions, free access to a fire extinguisher.

Maintenance involves performing the following procedures at the following intervals:

  1. The study of all parameters and the ratio of the norm and actual indicators. Perform every year. The procedure is called recertification.
  2. Recharge. Perform every 5 years. The device is discharged and cleaned before being refilled. In addition, it is necessary to carry out the procedure if the device has been used or it has fallen. If the fire extinguisher is on the vehicle, then it must be recharged every 2 years. If the structure is not located in the cabin, but outside and is exposed to environmental factors, then the procedure should be carried out every 12 months.

At the time of checking the condition of the existing fire extinguisher, it is supposed to be replaced by another with the same model and performance.

Before putting the device into operation for the first time, it is required to carefully inspect it, check the availability of all parts, study the location, read the instructions (it should be simple).

During the review, you should check the following:

  • the presence of dents, scratches, chips in any place of the entire device;
  • clarity and simplicity of instructions;
  • the presence of a seal;
  • the correct operation of all mechanisms;
  • the presence of identifiers, inscriptions;
  • device weight;
  • the condition of the hose and sprayer;
  • stand reliability.

In the future, all points are noted in the product passport, then they are given a number in order (it is supposed to be written down directly on the device). The same data is entered into a special journal.

Once a quarter, you need to check the place where there is a fire extinguisher. If breakdowns or any deviations from the norm are detected, then it is required to identify the causes and eliminate the defects. All actions are recorded in the log book. Be sure to write the date of the check and any intervention.

The OP-4 fire extinguisher belongs to the portable powder fire extinguishers of the injection type.Powder fire extinguisher OP-4It is a primary fire extinguishing agent and is designed to extinguish fire in case of ignition of gaseous, liquid and solid substances.
