Good job in demonstrating. However, I'm an old school fire extinguisher tech licensed in the state of Texas. My license allows me to do a hydro test on most extinguishers. What I have become accustomed to is replacing all o-rings as well as valve stems. There are o-rings on your valve stems that Texas requires that all o-rings and valve stems be replaced. They to can also become brittle and crack and they also compress in the valve head that may cause leaks and are not usable during any use the fire extinguisher may be needed for. So best bet is to replace any o-rings and valve stems. I rebuilt and certified thousands of fire extinguishers in my 15 year career. 🤗
It is matter of company practice if that is done, however, what does the service manual say? My company ALWAYS replaces o-rings & valves and we use only OEM parts. Not like your typical OR27 oring for Badger, Amerex, etc.
Wow, great information. It might be a boring job to some, but I think I would enjoy doing that all day long. By the way, I am an engineer and technical writer. With your uncanny ability to articulate precisely the method by which an individual would use to inspect, dismantle, hydrostatically test and prepare a cylinder for a recharge is impressive to say the least. Perhaps you and I should partner to create the most detailed, descriptive, comprehensive and fully illustrated Kama Sutra instruction manual and relationship guide. Maybe we can get Gilbert Godfrey to do the voiceover. Like if you could imagine him being the narrator of the infamous 50 shades of gray bestseller audio book. LOL. But seriously, great work on the vid. I learned a lot actually.
Good job sir. Than you for giving me a more information. For how can we do hydro test of fire extinguisher. I like your performance. I am still doing in this work qatar. Thank you from Nepal🇳🇵🇳🇵
At long last the only way how a fire extinguisher should ever be serviced Me being a service manager has came across multiple extinguisers where the “fly by nights” has serviced an extinguiser and when inspected i refuse to give back the extinguiser to the client as the fire extinguisher has more wrong with it than right
What certification do you need to do 6 year and hydro testing? I've done inspections for years. And I have nicet level 1&2 alarm technician and level 1 inspector.
It might depend on your jurisdiction, but in the State of Texas, NICET certification has nothing to do with it. You need to have a fire extinguisher technician's licence.
What does a test cost? seems like there would be millions of these out there.. good grief that is a lot of work for a device that most likely is never used... but when you need one it's good to know it works
You said you brake it lose because Factory tired it. If that is a 12 year old Fire Extinguisher it should have had a 6year maintenance done on it 6 years ago. So that should be hand tired on
Good job but wrong about one thing. ALWAYS replace the valve stem. The orings on the valve stem actually wears out and it flattens out in 6 years which you should change every 6 years. I can't tell you how many times I've serviced a fire extinguisher that the valve stem wasn't changed out within a year's time from last service date because you cleaned it instead of changing it. But for the most part it was a decent video. When doubt have a professional check it out.
Really?! So slap a sticker on and say you serviced it? No then you can be tried as a murderer if a person dies of a malfunctioning of a fire extinguisher and it is profen that you serviced it

Not looking at an extinguisher at this time, but I believe it might also be written on the bottle. We typically don't do Hydro's because they are too labor intensive and simple replace them with new instead.
Grasp the rigid and smooth bonnet of my massive cylinder and re-seat my head. Slip a gasket on the mouth and insert the stem all the way to the base fitting the head to the cylinder by gently guiding the nipple of the top assembly that protrudes from the throat. Make sure that you discharge and dry it thoroughly with nitrogen before you deliver your contents deep inside. LOL. It reminds me when I was a graphic designer and we would speak of hiring a stripper that also had the skills for colour separating images using techniques like trapping, spreading and choking. Very suggestive vernacular.

Hello Mr Gregory Allen, u can talk with u about fire extinguishers. I need any little info for a repair station scholar project

Nice.
Complete and practical.👍

Superb sir
Nice, please am planning to setup something like this, please where and how can I get this machines
Nice!!, do you know, or does anyone know how the material for the black cone calls?
Thanks for the video!!
Great vid bud,keep making them .Any one have link for a vid how to assemble and connect Getz hydro static machine with the cage?:)

What percentage of water to volume of bottle do you fill it to before hydrostatic testing procedure?
Fill it all of the way up
Very good vidéo, but i didn't undestood english I'm in a frensh country, I want learn more in frensh

It is not required, but good practice.
Where's your PPE???
What if you just put a sticker on it? Who would know if you tested it or not?
Big Todd, that's what the service collar is for.
Really?!
So slap a sticker on and say you serviced it?
No then you can be tried as a murderer if a person dies of a malfunctioning of a fire extinguisher and it is profen that you serviced it

12:27 if wore to use oxygen it would probably blow up. Remember oxygen is extremely combustible gas.
why use three times of gauge pressure for hydrostatis test?
where is this number come form ?
NFPA ? BE5306 ?
NFPA 10

@Muhammad Moiz, 6 years is for the 6-year maintenance, 12 years is for the hydro-static testing. This goes by the manufacturing date on the bottle.
Are you a joke? I been doing this for the last 12 years.

I don't know about PPE but it sure sounds like he has a lot of PEP!
