HEAVY DUTY/VEHICLE BRACKET
BRACKET INTRODUCTION
Brackets are available for each ANSUL cartridge-operated
hand portable extinguisher. Certain regulatory agencies,
such as the Coast Guard, often require extinguishers to be
mounted in brackets for restraint.
ANSUL offers both standard and heavy duty type brackets for
those extinguishers. Brackets may be mounted in a vertical,
horizontal, or sloping position on sufficiently strong, stationary,
supporting surfaces, or within suitable vehicle compartments.
However, for external vehicle and high-stress requirements,
the heavy duty/vehicle bracket is recommended. The heavy
duty construction of this bracket makes it suitable wherever
vibration or other abuse might ruin other brackets.
CAPABILITIES AND LIMITATIONS
The ANSUL extinguisher brackets are designed to withstand
specified vibration and shock loads which correspond to those
indicated by transportation industries (vehicle manufacturers,
etc.) as the maximum that the vehicles are designed to
withstand. These loads are the acceptable loads for a bracket
with extinguisher.
The load ratings shown above apply only to properly mounted
brackets. The illustrations to the right show acceptable and
unacceptable mounting of the brackets. When mounting a
bracket, refer to them and use only the approved mounting
positions.
