Some Kidde hydrostatic test recommendations

Evidence of conditions such as exposure to fire or heat, thread damage, thread wear, corrosion, cylinder repairs or physical damage as detailed within NFPA-10 require the extinguisher cylinder to be removed from service and proper disposal at the owner’s direction.

Hydrostatic testing should only be performed by those persons trained in the appropriate testing procedures/safeguards and having the proper testing equipment, facilities and information.

Some Kidde hydrostatic test recommendations:

•Extinguisher cylinders should be replaced any time the pressure vessel has been weakened due to corrosion, cuts, dents, digs, etc.

•That only water be used as the test medium and that the extinguisher then be flushed clean, dried and visually re-examined after testing.

•The discharge valve assembly should be removed prior to hydrostatic testing of the cylinder. (Refer to Note in Step 5 of Recharge instructions.)

•The agent cylinder hydrostatic test marking method should only utilize the proper type of record labels per NFPA-10 requirements.

•Never stamp or etch any markings onto the cylinder.

•Any time a fire extinguisher is known to have contained agents, additives or mediums other than that specified on the nameplate, it should be removed from service and properly disposed at the owner’s direction.

•No repairs to the cylinder are permitted. If such cylinder repairs are observed, the extinguisher should be removed from service and properly disposed at the owner’s direction.
