All fire extinguishers should be installed, inspected and maintained in accordance with the National Fire Protection
Association standard titled 'Portable Fire Extinguishers', NFA-10 and the requirements of local authorities having
jurisdiction.
When maintenance is indicated it should be performed by trained persons having proper equipment. Fire
extinguishers are pressure vessels and must be treated with respect and handled with care. They are mechanical
devices and require periodic maintenance to be sure that they are ready to operate properly and safely. Amerex
and Fire Suppression Southern strongly recommend that the maintenance of portable fire extinguisher be done by
a trained professional – your authorized Amerex Distributor.
Amerex Corporation makes original factory parts available to insure proper maintenance – use of substitute parts
releases Amerex and Fire Suppression Southern of its warranty obligations. Amerex parts have machined surfaces
and threads that are manufactured to exacting tolerances. O-rings, hoses, nozzles, and all metal parts meet
precise specifications and are subjected to multiple in-house inspections and tests for acceptability. There are
substitute parts available that are incorrectly labelled as UL component parts; some are advertised as Amerex type.
None of these meet UL requirements and all of them void the Amerex and Fire Suppression Southern extinguisher
warranty and UL listing. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE!
