FM Approved
Flammable Liquid
Storage Cabinets
FM Approvals Class 6050 · Approval ID PR459509 · 4 – 110 gal · Four Color Series
A single cabinet covering four compliance requirements: flash point classification, capacity limits, spill containment, and static discharge. Designed for compliant near-point storage of flammable and combustible liquids in factories, labs, and warehouses.
Why Certified Cabinets Are Mandatory
Vapors form explosive atmospheres at room temperature; Class I flash point < 37.8 °C
Container rupture from heat → liquid spill → rapid fire spread
Electrostatic discharge can serve as an ignition source
Uncontained spills create dual environmental and safety violations
Direct deduction in insurance audits and FM on-site reviews

Four Colors for Four Chemical Categories
Color = management — identify contents at a glance
Flash point < 100 °F (37.8 °C)
Alcohol · Acetone · Toluene · Gasoline
Class II: 100–139 °F / Class III: ≥ 140 °F
Paint · Thinner · Diesel · Lubricants
Acids and bases — store separately from flammables
HCl · H₂SO₄ · NaOH solution
Pesticides — keep away from food ingredients
Insecticides · Herbicides · Agrochemicals
Note: All four color variants are within FM PR459509 certification scope. Same structural specifications, differing only in color marking and shelf configuration.
Cabinet · Lock · Spill Control — Three Core Systems
Double-Wall Insulation
Double-wall steel with 1½" insulating air gap. Fully welded (not riveted) construction minimizes gaps and extends fire protection duration.
Fusible Self-Close Door
Self-close models: fusible link melts at 74 °C, doors automatically close in sequence from top to bottom and lock. Meets NFPA 30 and insurer requirements.
3-Point Locking System
Stainless steel 3-point bullet latch — forced lock without turning handle. Recessed handle with dual keys supports two-person dual-lock management.
Liquid Containment Sump
51 mm bottom sump contains spilled liquids, meeting US EPA requirements. Safety baffles direct overflow to the rear containment area.
Flame Arrester Vents
Two built-in flame arrester vents ensure air circulation and vapor control. Can be connected to exhaust ducting.
Adjustable Shelf Load
Freely adjustable shelves meeting ANSI standards, rated over 100 kg. Welded shelf hooks provide anti-slip stability.
Additional features: Epoxy polyester hybrid powder coating (chemical resistant, UV resistant) | Continuous stainless piano hinge | Built-in static grounding connector | Adjustable leveling feet | High-strength reflective patent warning label | Bilingual warning labels | Optional MSDS document box (XGMS1)
Manual Door Standard Series
Based on FM Approvals Approval Guide (PR459509). Listed models use recessed handle (-P); same specs also available in latch and -PS versions within the same FM certification.
