Question 1

How long do they last before needing replacing? any Expiry date stamped on them?

Accepted Answer

I can see no Use By details on mine, but I really wouldn't let that stop you from buying one anyway. It is extremely solid/well-made and confidence-inspiring, and if you can find one with Use-By details I'd really be extremely surprised. Intending to pass yours on as a family heirloom and want to get your money's-worth?

Question 2

does it come with a mounting bracket?

Accepted Answer

There are no instructions for wall-mounting the extinguisher, and I couldn't find any online. It's a bit tricky to work out, so here's the way I did it. The curved rail of the mount supports the bottom of the extinguisher, whilst the protruding stud at the other end fits into the black cone on the head of the extinguisher. Fit the  the mount to the wall using screws in the top and bottom holes. The plastic strap goes around the back of the mount (between the wall and the mount) so that it's central stud goes through the centre hole of the mount. The strap then wraps around the extinguisher, with the black end of the strap hooking into the end of the red buckle. The part that isn't so obvious is that you then fold the red buckle back (180 degrees) onto its neighbouring red part until it clicks shut and is pressed tightly against the extinguisher. This holds the extinguisher firmly against the mount, yet the extinguisher can still be released quickly when needed by pulling the buckle. A really good mount, but can take time to fit with out instructions.
