Fire Extinguisher

Every specification recorded against the Dry Powder Fire Extinguisher in this category is a fitting: valve, outlet thread, gauge thread, dip tube thread, hose and hanger. That tells you how these are bought, which is component by component to suit a cylinder and a market, rather than off a shelf as a finished unit.

Fitment comes before everything

A valve that will not match the cylinder neck, or a gauge thread that will not match the gauge, makes an entire assembly useless. Thread conventions differ between makers and between countries, so threads must be stated in the enquiry rather than inferred from a photograph. Most of these fields carry selectable options, meaning a build can be specified to the combination you need instead of a single fixed version.

Information to supply

• Valve type wanted, and the cylinder it has to seat in
• Outlet thread, gauge thread and dip tube thread specifications
• Whether hose and hanger are to be included, and which bracket style for the hanger
• Quantity per size, as assemblers and distributors normally order in volume
• The market the units are destined for, since that may drive which threads and fittings are acceptable

Enquiries here come mainly from assemblers, safety equipment distributors and contractors fitting out premises in quantity, not from end users replacing one unit. Powder charge, cylinder sizes and any rating are matters to confirm in writing before ordering, because they are not set out on the published record.

Approval marks and periodic inspection regimes are decided by the authority in the country of use, and we do not represent that these parts satisfy any particular scheme. Components and assemblies are all we trade, with no inspection, recharging or repair service attached; what follows the goods is whatever the order terms state.
