This is the shortest but the best I have seen so far. Really need to inspect thoroughly the hose but others just merely look at it rather inspect. In these video by detaching the hose will reveal both ends of any obstruction and the tilting of the hose will loosen any obstruction. Very nice, well done sir, well done. Thank you very much.
Hey quick question, I noticed that you were able to disconnect the hose without the use of any tools. Should the hose on any extinguisher be only hand tight? What about a CO2 extinguisher?
Good question. In most cases with ABC extinguishers, manufacturers want you to tighten the coupling by applying a ¼ turn after contact is made with the hose gasket. Regarding CO2 fire extinguishers, the inspection process is different. CO2 types have no gauges, therefore; the unit is weighed to detect any pressure loss. They should be recharged it the weight loss exceeds 10 percent . See, 46 CFR 132.350 - Testing and inspection of fire extinguishing equipment. Regards,
Saurabh Makkar no they do not. They should be inspected monthly and serviced annually. In some locations the annual servicing has to be completed by a service provider. Here is a link for some additional info www.cintas.com/fire-protection-services/fire-extinguishers.aspx

Regards,
do we need to check the weight also??
No not during the monthly inspection process.
Sir, do ABC type Extinguishers require a refilling every 1 year even if the pressure is in the green zone?
Saurabh Makkar no they do not. They should be inspected monthly and serviced annually. In some locations the annual servicing has to be completed by a service provider. Here is a link for some additional info www.cintas.com/fire-protection-services/fire-extinguishers.aspx
What do i do if is on red, what does it mean?
If the needle is on the red, it is empty and needs to be recharged. If it isn’t a rechargeable extinguisher then it would need to be replaced.
