All fire extinguishers should be installed, inspected and maintained in accordance with the National Fire Protection
Association standard titled “Portable Fire Extinguishers”, NFPA-10; and the requirements of local authorities having
jurisdiction
When maintenance is indicated, it should be performed by trained persons having proper equipment. Fire extinguishers
are pressure vessels and must be treated with respect and handled with care. They are mechanical devices and require
periodic maintenance to be sure that they are ready to operate properly and safely. Amerex strongly recommends that
the maintenance of portable fire extinguishers be done by a trained professional – your local authorized Amerex Dis-
tributor.
Amerex Corp. makes original factory parts available to insure proper maintenance – use of substitute parts releases
Amerex of its warranty obligations. Amerex parts have machined surfaces and threads which are manufactured to
exacting tolerances. All parts meet precise specifications and are subjected to multiple in-house inspections and tests
for acceptability. There are substitute parts available which are incorrectly labeled as U/L component parts, some are
advertised as Amerex type. None of these meet U/L requirements and all of them void the Amerex extinguisher warranty
and U/L listing.. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE.
