Glasdon FIREXPIRE Assembly And Maintenance Instructions

DO NOT DESTROY -
FIREXPIRE
Please note: Firexpire is an effective low cost auxiliary device and must never replace primary fire prevention
measures. Obstructions preventing the plate from dropping may adversely affect the function of the unit, and as
many Firexpire devices are used in unsupervised locations, regular inspection and immediate replacement of any
damaged or distorted components is essential.
HOW IT WORKS
The Firexpire system includes three important components.
1. Central Spacer
2. Firexpire extinguishing plate
3. Thermoplastic trigger washer
4. Panhead screw
Firexpire works by having a plate suspended above
aperture height secured by a panhead screw and a
thermoplastic trigger washer. When a fire occurs inside
the liner, the thermoplastic washer responds by
releasing the Firexpire plate. This then drops onto the
liner sealing and starving the fire within of oxygen, thus
snuffing out the fire.
INSTRUCTIONS TO REPLACE

extinguished, remove the
top section of the litter bin
and turn the Hood upside down.

the Panhead Screw and
Thermoplastic Washer (which will now be
