Proper placement of your fire extinguisher is crucial for quick access during an emergency. It is recommended to have at least one fire extinguisher for every 600 square feet of living space, placed within easy reach on every level of your home where fires are more likely to start, such as kitchens, garages, and utility rooms.
Mounting the Extinguisher
The Kidde FA110G comes with a UL-approved plastic strap bracket for easy mounting. Choose a location that is easily accessible, visible, and away from potential fire hazards.
- Select a suitable wall location, ensuring it is secure and can support the weight of the extinguisher.
- Use appropriate fasteners (not included) to attach the mounting bracket to the wall.
- Place the fire extinguisher into the bracket, ensuring it is held securely. The strap should wrap around the cylinder to prevent accidental dislodgement.
