Overview
The H3R Performance MaxOut Red Dry Chemical Fire Extinguisher, model MX250R, is a 2.5 lb. rechargeable dry chemical unit rated 1A:10B:C by Underwriters Laboratories. It is US Coast Guard approved, with the bracket named on the UL label, and is made in U.S.A.
The MX250 models use a specially fluidized and siliconized mono ammonium phosphate dry chemical, which differs from the sodium bicarbonate agent in the MX100 models. The MX250R smothers and breaks the chain reaction of fires involving flammable liquids and pressurized gasses, and it is effective on common combustibles such as wood and paper. The discharge will not conduct electricity back to the operator.
The MaxOut line suits marine and residential use, and this model carries the Coast Guard approval. It is universal fit, so it is not built around one vehicle.

Marine and home placement
Where a dry chemical extinguisher goes matters as much as the unit itself. On a boat, it should sit near the helm or the cabin exit, where it can be grabbed without reaching across a cockpit or going below. At home, place it near an exit route, away from heat sources and out of direct sun, and avoid spots where it could be struck by children or pets.
Salt air and moisture are hard on mounting hardware and finishes, so check the bracket, fasteners and body for corrosion on a regular schedule. Keep the handle clear of lines and stored gear, and make sure everyone aboard or in the house knows where it is. After any use, have the unit recharged before it returns to its spot.
- Mount near the exit path
- Check the bracket after rough use
- Keep the handle clear
