Kidde Foam Portable 9L

Kidde Kidde Foam Portable 9L is identified in the source list as a portable fire extinguisher. It is stowed at the approved fire-control position shown on the vessel's fire plan so it can be reached quickly during an incipient fire. Its purpose is to provide immediate portable firefighting capability using the extinguishing medium identified by the unit. The source record provides no additional model-specific operating figure beyond the listed designation and category. Cylinder, valve, hose or horn, extinguishing agent, pressure arrangement and approval markings form a certified portable appliance. The exact model designation and source-listed agent or size distinguish the extinguisher from neighboring portable units; refer to the manufacturer and statutory documentation for the exact servicing figures.

Service & Maintenance

Check the extinguisher is in its assigned location, accessible, correctly secured and visibly undamaged. Inspect cylinder condition, safety pin, seal, hose, nozzle or horn, pressure indication where fitted and service labels. Keep the unit clean and protected from corrosion and do not paint over markings. Weighing, pressure testing, agent replacement and internal servicing must follow the approved service regime for the extinguisher type. Replace any unit showing leakage, significant corrosion or damaged operating parts. Refer to statutory and manufacturer documentation for exact service intervals and rejection criteria.
