Vinyl Fire Extinguisher Covers for Portable Handheld Extinguishers

Product Description

These red fire extinguisher covers have a black imprint and black trim and are made of reinforced vinyl with hook-and-loop (Velcro) closures. They come in regular duty and heavy duty (rated for 5 years minimum service under normal conditions). The regular-duty models are also available with a viewing window so you can check the gauges without removing the cover (but honestly, you really should inspect your extinguishers completely each month, and that means removing the cover anyway).

Application Note

The 2013 edition of NFPA 10, Standard for Portable Fire Extinguishers states "6.1.3.7 Fire extinguishers installed under conditions where they are subject to physical damage (e.g., from impact, vibration, the environment) shall be protected against damage."

If you are storing your extinguisher outdoors at facilities such as gas stations, fueling racks, on the outside of a vehicle, helicopter landing pad etc., you need a cabinet or cover for that extinguisher to be compliant with this NFPA standard which is incorporated by reference into various regulations and even insurance policies.
