Questions and Answers for Kidde Full Home Fire Extinguisher with Hose, Easy Mount Bracket & Strap, 3-A:40-B:C, Dry Chemical, One-Time Use

A:  Hello. No, these extinguishers are pneumatic and used compressed air. They are not powered at all.

A:  Hello. Yes. The extinguisher should be properly mounted in a bracket to avoid damage to the extinguisher.

A:  Hello. Correct. Because a fire extinguisher is a safety feature that has to work fully when you need it, it can only be used once and then need to be either recharged if it is rechargeable or replaced if is not rechargeable. Since the price of recharging extinguishers can close to the price of buying a new disposable extinguisher and since hopefully you will only need to use an extinguisher once every 12 years if at all then many residential households opt to buy the disposable extinguishers that don't have to be replaced for 12 years instead of the rechargeables that have to be recharged every 6 years.

A:  I don’t recall if it came with screws but most commons screws would fit. I used 2 self tapers for metal but you can use regular screws with anchors for indoors  

A:  Hello. The screws are missing intentionally because what screws and anchors you use depends on what kind of surface you are mounting the extinguisher on. There are too many different types of surfaces and applications our extinguishers are installed on and we don't want to have provided the wrong screws and anchors for your application and have things go wrong and we don't want to provide every type of screws and anchors and have you choose the wrong ones among the ones we provided. Please consult with a carpenter or handyman or other professional before choosing the appropriate screws and anchors.

A:  Hello. These extinguishers are made in Mexico.

A:  I have this extinguisher stored on an outdoor screen porch with a fire place. All I saw on the pamphlet was: UL requires the fire extinguisher to be able to withstand storage at 175 degrees without rupture. High temperatures will decrease the life of the elastomeric seals, so storage above 120 degrees will decrease the life of the fire extinguisher.Mar 5, 2021 And that if it rusts then it could become compromised. So I put it it in a covered location but it is exposed to cold temperatures. Fortunately , I have never had the need to actually use it!

A:  As long as your garage does not get below -40 degrees Fahrenheit or above 120 degrees Fahrenheit.

A:  Its best to contact the manufacture. More info is needed example: how cold will the room get? It doesn't hurt to hang the unit instead of storing it. You can never go wrong having more protection then needed. Hopefully this help.
