OREGON FIRE SAFETY SOLUTIONS
Annually , fire extinguishers are required to be inspected by our certified technicians. We verify extinguishers are in there best condition. We will:
- Check the gauge is in the green.
- Verify the correct weight.
- Ensure hose is free of impedance.
- Identify any damage to the exterior.
- Attatch our annual service tag.
if further maintenance is required we will remove the fire extinguisher temporarily to perform the required work.
For most types of fire extinguishers, it is required they are torn down for examination every six years. Some fire extinguishers require more in depth maintenance. In a six year maintenance we will:
- Empty the fire extinguisher and check the inside of the bottle for excess corrosion / damage.
- Disassemble the head and clean all parts and replace damaged parts.
- Add our verification collar.
- Reassemble and recharge the fire extinguisher
- Add our verification sticker and tag, as done in the 'Annual Service' Section
If a fire extinguisher is used and requires to be recharged, this same process will be done to the fire extinguisher.
For most types of fire extinguishers, it is required they are hydrotested every 12 years. Some fire extinguishers require it every 5, (CO2, Water, K). In a hydrostatic test we will:
- Empty the fire extinguisher and check the inside of the bottle for excess corrosion / damage.
- fill the extinguisher with water and pressurize it to its required pressure for its required amount of time.
If it Passes:
- Dry the bottle
- Disassemble the head and clean all parts and replace damaged parts.
