Extinguisher bracket and service tag kit

NFPA 10 asks for a monthly visual check and an annual inspection, recorded. Almost nobody does it at home, largely because the extinguisher arrives with a wire hook and no way to write anything down.

Two steel wall brackets sized for 2.5 and 5 lb cylinders, ten service tags, and a laminated inspection card that lists what a monthly check actually is: gauge in the green, pin and seal intact, hose clear, no dents or corrosion, and the unit still where it is supposed to be.

Fitting and care. Fit the brackets into studs or masonry, never drywall alone. Fill in the tag the day you mount each extinguisher, not later. The monthly check is genuinely a thirty-second job: gauge in the green, pin and seal intact, hose clear, no dents or corrosion, unit still in position, initial the tag. Keep the laminated card with the extinguisher rather than in a drawer. If a tag runs out of lines, that is six years of records and worth keeping rather than binning.
