Fire extinguishers typically use safety pins or pull pins as part of their operating mechanism to prevent accidental discharge. The pin is an integral component that helps keep the fire extinguisher in a standby mode until it needs to be used. The specific design of pins may vary slightly among different types and brands of fire extinguishers, but the basic function is the same.
Here’s a general overview of the types of pins commonly used in fire extinguishers:
Safety Pin or Pull Pin:
Tamper Seal:
R-pin or Loop Pin:
Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions when handling and replacing pins in a fire extinguisher. If the tamper seal is broken or missing, it’s important to investigate the cause and ensure the extinguisher is in proper working condition.
During routine inspections or maintenance, verify that the safety pin is securely in place and that the tamper seal (if applicable) is intact. If the pin is missing or damaged, it should be replaced immediately to ensure the proper functioning of the fire extinguisher in case of an emergency. If you have any doubts about the condition of your fire extinguisher, consult with a qualified professional or the extinguisher’s manufacturer.
