Fire Extinguisher Subassembly

Fire Extinguisher Subassemblies are components or parts of a fire extinguisher that are essential for its proper functioning. They are classified under the supply class Firefighting Equipment, which falls under the supply group Firefighting, Rescue, and Safety Equipment; and Environmental Protection Equipment and Materials.

Fire Extinguisher Subassemblies can include various components such as:

1. Cylinder: The main container that holds the extinguishing agent, such as water, foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide.

2. Valve Assembly: Controls the flow of the extinguishing agent from the cylinder when the fire extinguisher is activated.

3. Pressure Gauge: Indicates the pressure level inside the cylinder, ensuring that it is within the recommended range for effective operation.

4. Nozzle or Discharge Hose: The outlet through which the extinguishing agent is expelled onto the fire.

5. Handle and Lever: Used to activate the fire extinguisher by releasing the extinguishing agent.

6. Safety Pin and Tamper Seal: Prevents accidental discharge of the extinguishing agent and indicates if the fire extinguisher has been tampered with.

7. Mounting Bracket: Used to securely hold the fire extinguisher in place, typically on a wall or other suitable location.

These subassemblies are crucial for the proper functioning and effectiveness of fire extinguishers in combating different types of fires. They are designed to meet specific safety standards and regulations to ensure their reliability during emergencies.

It is important to regularly inspect, maintain, and replace these subassemblies as needed to ensure the fire extinguisher is in good working condition and ready for use in case of a fire emergency.
