Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the BM (manual close) and BS (self-close) flammable cabinets?
The BM series features manual close doors that open to a full 180° for maximum access. The BS series features self-closing doors that automatically close and latch in the event of a fire — required by some fire codes and preferred in high-risk environments. Both series are FM Approved and meet OSHA and NFPA Code 30.
What does FM Approved mean for a flammable storage cabinet?
FM Approval (Factory Mutual) is an independent third-party certification verifying that 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 BM45YP?
The BM45YP 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 BM45YP includes adjustable leveling feet and a grounding connector to dissipate static electricity, reducing ignition risk when dispensing flammable liquids.
