Fire Extinguishers - when need to replace?
The hread about freon, etc. was very educational.
Brought up a question bothering me: How can one tell if FE is still OK? Mine is a very old Kidde, big red puppy; A.B.C. Indicator is still in the green, albeit leaning toward the left (recharge). Has never been used(thank goodness!) However, I don't want to find out the hard way that it is over the hill. Can I squeeze the lever a little, to see if it works? Don't hit me; I'm just ignorant! The new ones that size range from $40+ on up. I'm not trying to nickel & dime my home's safety; just want to know if there's a way to test this. If the test shows it's still good, fine. If it shows no good, at least I know what to do, $$ notwithstanding. Any help appreciated. HB |
