Protect Lives, Property, and Peace of Mind with MANXPOWER
Fire extinguishers are the first line of defense in emergencies, but they are only effective when properly maintained. A neglected extinguisher can fail when you need it most. That’s why regular inspection and maintenance are not just good practices—they are essential safety responsibilities for homes, offices, factories, and public spaces.
In this blog, we’ll guide you on how to maintain and inspect fire extinguishers correctly and show you why MANXPOWER fire safety products are the most reliable choice.
Why Maintenance Matters
Fire extinguishers may sit idle for years, but when an emergency occurs, they must work instantly. Regular inspections:
- Ensure full functionality
- Help comply with fire safety regulations
- Identify signs of damage or tampering
- Extend the life of the extinguisher
Without maintenance, even a certified extinguisher may not discharge correctly or safely.
Key Steps to Inspect and Maintain Fire Extinguishers
- Monthly Visual Inspection
Perform a basic check every month:
- Is the extinguisher easily accessible? Ensure it’s not blocked.
- Is the pressure gauge in the green zone? Low pressure means it won’t work.
- Are there signs of rust, leaks, or dents? Damage affects reliability.
- Is the pin and tamper seal intact? It should not be removed unless used.
- Is the label readable? Instructions should be visible and clear.
- Annual Professional Servicing
Have a certified technician:
- Open and inspect the internal contents (if required)
- Check the weight of the extinguisher
- Verify the effectiveness of discharge
- Refill or recharge if used or expired
- Provide a maintenance tag with service date
- Hydrostatic Testing
Depending on the extinguisher type, hydrostatic testing must be performed every 5 or 10 years to ensure the cylinder’s strength under pressure.
Common Issues to Watch For
- Broken seals or missing safety pins
- Corrosion on cylinder body
- Damaged hoses or blocked nozzles
- Expired or depleted extinguishing agents
