Amerex AM860 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will an Amerex strap bracket hold a fire extinguisher in a truck or on a boat?
Vehicle and marine mounting are both listed applications for the Amerex heavy-duty rubber strap bracket, along with standard wall mounting. The rubber strap is what makes that possible: a hook-style wall bracket relies on gravity to keep the cylinder seated, which does not survive road vibration or a boat wake. The strap wraps the cylinder and holds it against the steel body regardless of how the vehicle moves.
2) Which Amerex bracket model do I order, 860, 862 or 864?
The heavy-duty rubber strap bracket is ordered as model 860, 862 or 864. All three are the same strap-style steel bracket in red; the model number is how you match the bracket to the size of the extinguisher cylinder it has to carry, so specify the model that corresponds to the extinguisher you are mounting rather than ordering by description alone.
3) Strap bracket or wall hanger bracket for a fire extinguisher, which should I use?
Use the strap type where the extinguisher can be jostled: vehicles, vessels, forklifts, service bays, anywhere the cylinder is not sitting still. The rubber strap holds it captive against the steel bracket. A plain hanger bracket only cradles the cylinder and is fine for a fixed corridor wall in a building, where nothing moves it. This Amerex bracket is a strap type and is listed for marine, vehicle and wall use.
4) Can this fire extinguisher bracket be mounted outside?
Indoor and outdoor locations are both listed for this bracket. It is steel with a red finish, so on an exposed dock, an open equipment yard or a truck bed it will see weather directly. For coastal or wash-down exposure, plan on inspecting the strap and the mounting fasteners on the same schedule you inspect the extinguisher.
5) How many extinguishers does one Amerex strap bracket hold?
One. Each strap bracket carries a single extinguisher. If you are outfitting a shop with two units at a station, or standardizing a fleet, count one bracket per cylinder.
6) Are mounting screws or bolts included with the Amerex strap bracket?
Fasteners are selected for the surface you are mounting to, not supplied with the bracket. That is deliberate: the same bracket goes onto drywall with anchors, onto a steel bulkhead with machine screws, and into a wood stud or a truck body with entirely different hardware. Have the anchors for your substrate on hand before the install.
7) Does a rubber strap bracket slow down grabbing the extinguisher in an emergency?
No. The strap is set for secure retention while staying quick-release, so the extinguisher pulls free in one motion. Set the tension at install: snug enough that the cylinder does not shift when you push on it, loose enough that it releases without two hands. Too tight is the failure mode people create themselves.
8) What should I check on a fire extinguisher strap bracket during a monthly inspection?
Two things beyond the extinguisher itself: that the steel bracket is still tight to its surface, and that the rubber strap has not gone hard, cracked or stretched. Rubber is the wear part here, and it ages faster on outdoor and vehicle mounts than on an interior wall. A strap that no longer holds the cylinder firmly means the extinguisher is not actually secured, even though it looks mounted.
