Portable fire extinguisher service for Houston facilities
Four intervals, one licensed crew. Each page below states what the service covers, who is allowed to perform it, and what an inspector writes up when it slips.
The four intervals
Inspection and tagging
The yearly service that puts a current tag on the neck of every unit in the building.
- Pressure, seal, and pin checked on each unit
- Weighed and inspected against the class rating
- Punched tag dated and signed on site
Recharge and refill
Any unit that has been discharged, partly used, or found under pressure.
- Agent replaced to the rated charge
- Valve stem and O-ring replaced
- Verification of service collar fitted
Internal maintenance
Stored pressure dry chemical units stripped, inspected internally, and recharged.
- Unit emptied and shell inspected inside
- Valve rebuilt, agent replaced
- Six year mark stamped on the collar
Hydrostatic testing
Cylinder pressure test at the twelve year mark, or sooner if the shell shows damage.
- Cylinder tested to the stamped test pressure
- Shell and threads examined for failure
- Test date and our mark applied
We supply new extinguishers alongside service work, in the same brands we service. Tell us the hazard and the room and we size the unit and the rating for it, then quote. There is no checkout, because the right unit depends on what is in the space.
