We provide comprehensive supply, installation, hydrostatic pressure testing, and periodic refilling for all types of fire extinguishers. Our services strictly follow the IS 2190 guidelines to ensure complete hazard readiness.
Certified Fire Extinguisher Refilling & AMC Services
In accordance with the stringent guidelines of the IS 2190 compliance codes, maintaining functional fire extinguishers at standard heights is a critical statutory requirement for corporate towers, factories, and housing societies in Maharashtra. FirePause provides robust fire extinguisher refilling near me solutions alongside heavy-duty cylinders sourcing and annual maintenance contracts (AMC).
🧯 Types & Classifications of Fire Extinguishers We Install
We supply, commission, and refill a complete array of ISI-marked portable and trolley-mounted fire cylinders:
- ABC Dry Chemical Powder (DCP) Extinguishers: Formulated with mono-ammonium phosphate (MAP 90%) for organic solids, flammable liquids, and electrical fire hazards.
- Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Extinguishers: Crucial for server rooms, UPS setups, and lab panels as they leave zero residue and prevent electronic damage.
- Clean Agent Extinguishers: Utilizes premium HFC-236fa gas which is eco-friendly, non-conductive, and highly effective for sensitive server clusters.
- Mechanical Foam (AFFF) & Water Extinguishers: Engineered for Class A (wood, paper) and Class B (petrol, paint) risk containment.
📜 B2B Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMC) & Audits
Under the Maharashtra Fire Act, all commercial premises must maintain active safety equipment logs. Our quarterly B2B AMC audits cover:
- Visual check of pressure gauges to ensure they sit in the green zone.
- Physical weight assessment to detect chemical leakage or gas discharge.
- Clearing discharge nozzles, hose pipes, and horns from blockages or nests.
- Lubricating the operating trigger mechanism and checking safety pins and plastic tags.
- Mounting bracket inspections to ensure cylinders are hung at standard heights (max 1.5 meters from floor).
💧 Hydrostatic Pressure Testing (HRT) Requirements
Cylinder shells are subjected to extreme pressure. To prevent accidents, IS 2190 mandates that water-type, powder, and foam extinguishers undergo hydrostatic testing at 35 kg/cm² pressure every 3 to 5 years, while CO2 cylinders are tested at 250 kg/cm² in certified labs.
🏷️ Mandatory Safety Markings, Labels, & Mounting Standards (IS 15683)
Per Indian Standard IS 15683:2018, all portable fire cylinders must carry specific marking characteristics to comply with fire audits. This includes permanent stamping of the unique ISI license number, manufacturer details, test pressures, and manufacturing year. Cylinders must be coated in Signal Red (RAL 3000) and display a color-coded band corresponding to the agent class.
Cylinder Mounting Height Rules: Fire extinguishers with a gross weight of less than 4kg must be mounted so the handle sits no higher than 1.5 meters from the finished floor level. For heavier cylinders exceeding 4kg, the mounting height must be restricted to 1.0 meter max, ensuring swift access during panic situations.
📋 Fire Extinguisher Selection & Class Suitability Matrix
Selecting the correct extinguishing medium is vital. Using the wrong agent can exacerbate the hazard, especially on electrical or grease fires:
| Extinguisher Type | Active Agent | Suitable Fire Classes | Typical B2B Application |
|---|---|---|---|
| ABC Dry Powder | Mono-Ammonium Phosphate (MAP 90%) | Class A, B, C | General Offices, Warehouses, Corridors |
| Carbon Dioxide (CO2) | Liquid CO2 under pressure | Class B, C (Electrical) | Server Rooms, UPS Rooms, Electrical Panels |
| Clean Agent | HFC-236fa Gas (Non-conductive) | Class A, B, C | Data Centers, Labs, High-Value Archives |
| Water / Foam | Water + AFFF Foam concentrate | Class A, B | Textile Mills, Paper Storage, Fuel Depots |
