We are a U.S. Department of Transportation certified Hydrostatic Testing Facility.
Fire Equipment Headquarters maintains an OSHA-compliant, US DOT-certified facility at our main office located in Torrington, CT, to conduct hydrostatic testing on your fire extinguishers, compressed gas cylinders, and fire hose. A replacement extinguisher will be provided, at no additional cost, while testing is being performed.
“A visual inspection alone cannot insure that a portable fire extinguisher is safe or will operate properly when needed. Over time, normal handling or workplace conditions can impact the structural integrity of the extinguisher and cause it to malfunction or burst. To prevent this from happening, all portable fire extinguishers are required to be inspected and pressure tested by a qualified individual using the proper equipment and facilities. 1910.157(f)(1)“
