Oval Fire Extinguishers
Our Extinguishers
The fire extinguisher's oval shape means that it is not as deep, making installation easier for disabled people. This also saves space and money by eliminating the need to install an extra pit in your home or office flooring!

Access
The Americans with Disabilities Act and most building codes require that buildings be accessible to persons with disabilities. For accessibility, equipment – including fire extinguishers- must project less than 4″ (102mm) from the wall which means oval-shaped ones are preferable over conventional 10 lb models for those who have enough room in their kitchen cabinets or closets where they store these types of items!
Why have an Extinguisher that is Oval?
Smaller Floor Space
With conventional round fire extinguishers, it’s necessary to widen aisles and corridors or deepen walls in order for the device to be accessible. Oval extinguishers eliminate these issues- because they can fit into standard 3 – 5/8″ (92mm) spaces!
Installed Costs
- Oval fire extinguishers cost more than round ones, but with their easy accessibility, you can have a safe and hazard-free work environment without having to widen the aisle or wall out in order for people who are visually impaired. They’re also easily portable which means they save space during remodeling projects.
Installation Information
Compliant in minutes
- The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has issued guidance mandating that healthcare facilities be accessible to disabled persons. This new rule applies not just in the event of an emergency, but also as a safety precautionary measure due to their inability-to tolerate dust or disruption from installing conventional fire extinguishers which are often outdated by now!
Ligature-Resistance
- a solution that provides both accessibility and ligature-resistance.
MRI Environments
Oval fire extinguishers are great for use in MRI facilities. They have a non-magnetic design and the developers say they’re conditionally safe, which means that if you ever need one it can be used near an MRI machine without any problem!

very informative about many things to know about new and old extinguishers. Especially how to inspect and how to read dials. Came right on time and took time to answer all questions in full.

I just bought fire extinguishers for my 2 buildings in Manhattan. David was very professional. He didn't try to upsell me on extinguishers for every floor. He was spot on time and very efficient. Also courteous and professional. I would recommend their services!

I needed a few fire extinguishers for my business and I started to do some local searches of who was near me. I contacted the few companies who were near me but A&J had the best customer service and was very patient with explaining things to me and suggesting what I would need for my business. After annoying them multiple times we finally worked out a time for them to come deliver our new fire extinguishers and had them set up the wall mounts for us.We recommend A&J Fire Extinguishers to any business owner who wants to make sure they are taken care of with excellent customer service.

I needed a few fire extinguisher for my offices as well as for my home so I started to contact all my local fire extinguisher companies around me to find the best rates as well as the best service. A&J Fire went above and beyond to take the time to answer my annoying phone calls and questions and they came out delivered my new extinguishers and setup all the wall mounts. Thanks a lot team!

I was producing a last minute shoot at an MTA subway station that required a particular kind of fire extinguisher that is not easily available in stores, as part of their safety compliance. I called AnJ and Allie was the absolute best. He was efficient, helpful and delivered in a rush.I cannot recommend them enough.

I am in the market for a commercial grade fire extinguisher and the staff was very professional and helpful in informing me about the right way to go. I definitely appreciate the help and will be using them for all my fire extinguisher purchases in the future.

Needed two fdny tagged k-class fire extinguishers for my food truck and these guys came through. We had our brand new shinny tagged extinguishers in the amount of time it took us to drive there from Coney Island to third ave. Would highly recommend

Very unprofessional and sarcastic and working out of a children's toy store (you have to go into the children's toy store, ask for A&J fire, then wait several minutes - your time or business will not be valued). Lied or ignorant (either wayy bad) about recall specifics to facilitate a sale. Called the manufacturer myself and the recall didn't apply to my specific extinguisher. Way over priced. 45$ for a refill when the same cost 17$ at another place in NY so more than a 265% markup??? What business needs those margins?! Disappointed at best. Makes me sad when this is all regarding something humanitarian like fire safety. Imagine if the markup wasn't 300% and people could buy three times more extinguishers and be three times safer. Disengenuous and swindely. Be carefulUpdate 2/21/2019: after my negative review within 24 hours 10 more reviews (likely artificially) were added to drown out mine. Have no idea how this guy got so many "positive" reviews

Hymie came out to our event an hour before our FDNY inspection. It was a big job for one person so he called another truck to come out and help. The team set us up with fire extinguisher rentals and our event went on seamless. We will use them again next year at our New Jersey event. Thank you A&J Extinguisher for the flawless work. Highly recommend.

Jack and the A&J team are dedicated to their customers and very knowledgeable. The owner himself came to our office in midtown Manhattan during a snowstorm to personally walk the floor, install fire extinguishers and thoroughly teach the staff how to use them. He answered any questions we had. I will definitely recommend him to friends and family.

After many fire extinguisher companies , and many violations from companies not doing their job correctly, A&J straightened us out. We passed our inspections without 1 complaint from the inspector. Pricing matched up to the rest of the industry and we were able to sign a multi year contract in exchange for a discount. Highly reccomend, very professional. Hard to find in Brooklyn.

I used to hate shopping for fire extinguishers for my business, because I really don't understand any of it, or how much I should expect to pay without getting ripped off. After checking out several different companies, I finally found A&J. Jack explains everything clearly and blew the other companies' pricing out of the water. For such a critical part of building safety, I'm glad I finally found someone I can trust.

We are an E-retailer with a new 27,000 sq ft Commercial space in NJ.One week before moving the entire company with over 70 employees, we called A&J Fire Extinguisher and 2 others for quotes. Our salesman was very professional and the price was less than the others. A&J was able to do the job 2 days later. When they arrived for install they were able to use several of our existing extinguishers saving us even more $$.I appreciated the honesty, and truth be told I would have never known if he gave us new ones or re-tagged existing.Would use them every time.

Types of extinguishers
Cabinets help protect the fire extinguisher from damage and ensure that it is always ready to go. Cabinets also help protect the extinguisher from UV rays and chemical exposures that can diminish their effectiveness. This is particularly helpful when the extinguisher is placed outdoors.
OSHA and NFPA do not require storage of fire extinguishers within a fire extinguisher cabinet. However, there are regulations within some municipalities and the Americans with Disabilities Act you may need to follow. If applicable, you must ensure it’s at the proper height, does not protrude more than four inches from the wall, and more.
Modern fire extinguisher cabinets can be made from wood, plastic, metal, or glass. However, most newer systems incorporate plastic rather than glass to reduce injury risk when removing the extinguisher from the cabinet.
