They may also accidentally be triggered when going through rough terrain or extreme heat. Element is not affected by vibration and has been tested to work effectively in temperatures from -140F to +320F.

RESIDENTIAL USE FIRE EXTINGUISHER
The National Fire Protection Association minimum recommendations for the home include one extinguisher per floor, smoke alarms on each level and outside sleeping areas. It's important to have a fire extinguisher in your kitchen for grease and cooking fires. Many extinguishers are rated ABC but not K like Element. Class K fire extinguishers are specifically designed for flammable cooking oils / fats and will not cause a grease fire to explode like pure water will (click to see video of water being used on a kitchen fire).

POWERSPORTS FIRE EXTINGUISHER
Powersport enthusiasts play hard and push limits. Element uses a patented solid-state extinguishant that prevents accidental discharge and is always ready to go if a fire starts. Offroad rigs, ATVs, motorcycles, dirt bikes, snowmobiles, and even marine machines are filled with flammable liquids. From gasoline to hydraulic fluid if a hose blows, you have a higher likelihood of fire.
In many cases, you're far from a fire department so it's up to you to try and control the flames after calling 911. Space is at a premium on a motorcycle or UTV so choosing the right extinguisher that's effective, covers the major fire classes, has a long discharge and is easy to pack is crucial as your primary fire extinguisher.
That's why so many powersport enthusiasts use Element.

YES. Extinguishers that are not K rated can have an explosive effect on grease fires and can spread the fire faster. Kitchen fires can also be electrically charged During an emergency it's hard to think about extinguisher types, so we recommend only keeping fire extinguishers that are rated for ABC & K fires in your home, like Element.
