Frequently Asked Questions
How does the BM44YP differ from the BM45YP?
The BM44YP is 34" wide with 3 adjustable shelves and weighs 304 lbs. The BM45YP is 43" wide with 2 shelves and weighs 345 lbs.

What does FM Approved mean for a flammable storage cabinet?
FM Approval (Factory Mutual) is an independent third-party certification verifying the cabinet meets rigorous fire protection performance standards. FM Approved cabinets are tested and certified to contain flammable liquid fires and are recognized by OSHA and fire marshals as meeting safety requirements.
What chemicals can be stored in the BM44YP?
The BM44YP is rated for Class I and Class II flammable liquids up to 60 gallons total, and Class III combustible liquids up to 120 gallons. Common examples include acetone, IPA, MEK, toluene, and other flammable solvents used in industrial and laboratory settings.
Does the cabinet include a grounding connector?
Yes — the BM44YP includes adjustable leveling feet and a grounding connector to dissipate static electricity, reducing ignition risk when dispensing flammable liquids.
