fire extinguishers....cheapest?
 

obviously still faffing about for last minute stuff. where have you got your fire extinguishers from and how much? save me trawling the net for hours. have found one for 33 quid incl vat and delivery is that about right?

Depends what you're buying Dickie. How big is it, what type of fires does it cover (A, B and C?) Is it powder?

Mine is a 2kg bottle with it's on bracket, does A, B and C fires and is powder - cost me £38 at Halfrauds.

yeah thats what i was looking at. its the one you are meant to have. cheers 33 quid seems ok then.

paintain.co.uk if anyone is interested

It was looking good until:

This store is now closed.

anyone who is stuck - give us a shout: AK can get them from work:)

C:)

I can get them from work too.


Just hope I don't get caught...

:lol:

I meant he can purchase them!:P

edited: just phoned Alan & you wouldn't believe it - they are sold out & no more stock in till Friday!
Local company has just re-stocked their fleet & all back stock (45!!!) gone out at 9 this morning!

Only have 1 ltr sizes left & they are too small!
:(

Sorry...........

Can anyone tell me how big they need to be? I can get a 1.75L version cheap but I haven't got the ACU handbook nearby.

If we get asked for it at the meeting, where does it have to be stored??

Cheers,

Ali

ps: sorry about the lack of posts, but work's a sodding nightmare at the mo..... :(

It's a pity that the delivery may be in 2 or 3 days...

I think it's 2kg minimum, with dry powder.

Phone them and order as they may well despatch it today.

if anyone is interested

2kg dry powder (cl A,B,C) £23.75
4kg ditto £40.38

plus vat

from my local stockist (7 available)

I'm getting one tomorrow, if anyone would like me to bring any more with me this weekend let me know - in return for cash the vat is extinguished :cool::cool:

UD - you've got a U2U.

I bought it from Halford, a little bit more expensive but I am sure to have one this week end.

A dry powder unit will trash electrical system components. You might want to consider a carbon dioxide bottle instead.

unfortunately, thats what the rule book wants you to have:( its for accidents in the pit & camping area (which are more likely to be caused by bar-b-q's than anything else)

I've just spoken to Eddie at the ACU who confirms that the word 'powder' has been removed from the next handbook as the had complaints that they were difficult to get hold of. A foam one would be perfectly acceptable.

I can't find any cheaper than UDs £23.75 so I'll bag one of those if there's any left!

Cheers,

Ali

all gone now - I must be in the wrong business!

I've replied to everyone via u2u who asked and confirmed the order

I'll be collecting them tomorrow morning so no panic
