Overview

Model RT A400 - Halon 1211-1301 Blend

The gaugeless RT A400 is the smallest Halon fire extinguisher available anywhere. It's a great flight bag accessory.

These extinguishers contain a unique blend of liquefied gas 1211/1301, two highly effective fire fighting agents. These units are self expelling which means that the pressure remains constant even when the extinguishers are almost empty.

Q: We have aircrafts equipped with fire extinguisher RT A400. We checked the weight of A400. The weight was less than the standard weight. Can we recharge the agent? Otherwise should we replace the extinguisher?

The A400 is a sealed unit and cannot be re-charged.

Q: Does it matter what position the fire extinguisher is mounted in? Can i lay on side as well as vertically, without leaking?

YES! It can lay on its side. However, it must be positioned upright when in use, and not in a horizontal position.

Q: What is the warranty on this RT A400 unit?

Per the manufacturer: The standard Warranty for all our RT-A extinguishers is two years from receipt date for workmanship & quality.

Q: After the 12-year shelf life, can the manufacturer service and return to service for another 12-years?

The answer unfortunately is no, not permitted by NFPA for non-rechargeable extinguishers. The big advantage of them is that they are not subject to the 6-year teardown maintenance and hydro test required for rechargeable extinguishers resulting in huge savings!! After 12 years, they must be replaced by a new unit with the old one sent to a service Center or to the manufacturer for halon recycling.

Q: DOES THIS FIRE EXTINGUISHER COME WITH 8130-3 FORM?

No, this does not include the 8130-3 form. It can be requested at the time of checkout in the shopping cart.

Q: Is the PRT FIRE EXTINGUISHER MODEL RT A400 HAZMAT for export?

Yes, this is considered dangerous goods for air transport (UN1044).

Q: Since the unit has no gauge and the only way to determine if it is still good, what is the minimum acceptable weight before the unit must be replaced?

Per the manufacturer, you would weigh this unit 2-3 times a year to see if the weight remains about the same. It is normal for all liquefied gas extinguishers(Gage or not), to lose 4-6 grams per year. Inspect monthly or more often. Ensure nozzle is not obstructed and safety seal is intact. To be installed, inspected and maintained in accordance with NFPA 10. Return to the manufacturer after any use or if gross weight is below:- 500 grams (17.6 oz) for Model RT-A400

Q: Operating / storage temp. range? What happens at -35C.?

Operating/Storage range: Do not allow area where cylinders are stored to exceed 52 DEG C (125 DEG F). Freezing Point: -159.50C (319.10F), -35C it will work just as normal at -35c
