Why Regular Fire Extinguisher Service Matters
When a fire breaks out, your fire extinguisher is often the first line of defense. However, it can only save lives and property if it’s in working condition. At AITO, our certified technicians follow a strict service checklist to ensure your extinguishers are fully functional, compliant, and ready to use.
Let’s explore the 8 key areas covered in every inspection.
AITO Fire Extinguisher Service Checklist
1. Ring Pin Cord: Intact and Secure
We begin by checking that the ring pin cord is securely attached. This small cord prevents the pin from being pulled accidentally, which helps avoid unintentional discharge. If it’s missing or frayed, we replace it immediately.
2. Ring Pin: Properly Inserted
Next, we inspect the ring pin itself. It acts as a safety lock, preventing the extinguisher from activating on its own. Our technicians ensure it’s not bent, rusty, or tampered with.
3. Inspection Tag: Present and Updated
Every fire extinguisher must have an inspection tag that shows the last service date. We update it after each visit, so you’re always in compliance with fire safety regulations and audit-ready.
4. Label: Clean, Clear, and Readable
In an emergency, clear instructions matter. We clean the label and make sure it remains fully legible. If faded, we replace it—because fast action depends on clear guidance.
5. Hose & Nozzle: Undamaged and Clear
We examine the hose and nozzle for cracks, stiffness, or obstructions. A blocked nozzle could render your extinguisher useless. If any issue is found, we clean or replace it to ensure smooth discharge.
6. Pressure Gauge: Fully Charged & Functional
The pressure gauge must always be in the green zone. If it’s low, the extinguisher may not work in an emergency. We recharge undercharged units and advise replacement if gauges are damaged or malfunctioning.
7. Hose Holder: In Place and Working
A secure hose holder keeps the hose protected when not in use. We inspect its placement, fix any looseness, and replace it if broken. This prevents long-term wear and preserves readiness.
8. Hose Band: Firmly Attached
Lastly, we check that the hose band is tightly secured. It helps hold the hose in position, reducing wear from movement or pressure. We adjust or change it as needed for long-term reliability.
