minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink7•6 months agoI don’t use permanently pressurized fire extinguishers anymore, as they are hard to maintain and rarely reach a life span of 20 years. Make sure to check at least once every 3 years if the pressure is still in the green. If not, replace it immediately.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink4•6 months agoIf you look at the gauge, you can see that the ideal pressure is 1344 kPa or 13.44 bar. If you own a pump capable of using at least 14 bar, you are good to go.
