i have these two fire extinguishers. i need wall mounts for them. i assume the small one could mount on a two prong fork looking mount around the neck ? and the heavy beast has some kind of hook for the bar to slide over?

Top one mounts on a fork with a strap around it to hold it into the fork. Bottom one is out of a cotton picker, I think that it hangs on a flat hook.
Yup, easy setups.


OP measure the diameter of the smaller one and I'll check the spare mount I have at work. If it's correct it's yours.
 

 


yeah but thats a 15 lb one. the big one is 35 lbs

Finally someone needs something I might have and I’m late on the ball. I have hundreds of the fork style in boxes they come in different lengths depending on cylinder diameter. Never seen something for the big one though.

can I get one? i think the small one is a 5-6" diameter cylinder
 
I can throw one of each type in a box for you. I’ll try to remember at work tomorrow.

you the man. anything gun related you need in trade? i can send cash to cover shipping or make a donation to a charity of your choice in your name

Nah don’t worry about it. Pm your details, I’ll post a pic of what I have tomorrow.
 
Those both look old enough I wouldn't trust they'd go off, might be best to get them refurbed first.

If they're holding pressure, just need to knock 'em around to make sure the powder isn't clumped.

ABC dry chem. extinguishers are just (most likely monoammonium phosphate) powder + an inert gas; nothing rocket surgery-ish.

No gauge...can't tell if they're good to go or not. But OP says refurb in 2020, so prolly not bad.
 
"Maybe" stick to talking about shit with which you have practical experience? :shaking:

I've fucked around w/ a couple dozen ABC extinguishers in the last 20 years. You?

Fuck, you deserve a bottle filled w/ cornstarch & pressurized w/ oxygen :nuke: :lmao:

Only a handful, but two obvious things, 1) no gauge = no idea if it's pressurized and 2) once you let one go, you empty it.

the hydrostatic test sticker is right on the side of the one in the picture.

So you can tell me with 100% certainty that the extinguisher is full and ready to go by the sticker? Got it.
