I wanted to ask how long do cartridges in a cartridge extinguisher usually last? and it would seem if the extinguisher cartridge became bad I would just have to screw in a new cartridge? any thoughts are appreciated please thank you.
class 66 so glad you commented on this one, who would have thought using one a little basically meant it was no use. We keep 3 car ones around the property. They have not been used, but I first had them when I had kids...so I am off to investigate and make sure they seem untouched.
luckily this problem only occurs with dry chemical fire extinguihers. Water and foam extinguishers do not have this problem but it is always good to refill a fire extinguisher after use
I have had Many customers tell me my Fire Extinguisher is Fine i tested it last week i tell them i will do it for Free if you can make it Work Now ,No Go powder every where they Must me refilled after use .
Yep, the dry chemical (chalk) types are a one shot deal. They must be thoroughly cleaned and recharged after every single discharge or partial discharge.
Very nice video Bill! I made that very mistake with our fire extinguisher... I should probably tell Dad! Lol oh and this was the first video I watched on the go on my iPhone :)
Ok so some engineer needs to improve the valve but that may not happen unless there is more money in making them better! 7 min video please talk like your speaking to adults and make it 1 min.
