Fire extinguisher mounting

noddy,

 

Hopefully you have bought a 1.75 litre AFFF based extinguisher! [Q.3.1.1] - this is the recommended quantity.

 

The only recommendation in the Blue Book that I can see for hand-held extinguishers is that they must be mounted [Q.3.4.1] in positive quick release brackets secured with a minimum of two 6mm bolts.

 

On a practical level you want to be able to get at it quickly when in the car hence a very common position is the passenger footwell, either transverse across the car just in front of the seat (if it fits) or fore/aft - in either case with the business end nearest the driver's reach.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Brian
