An extinguisher with a hose is required to have a “holding device” that will maintain the free end of the hose in position when not in use. The device that is generally accepted for this purpose is a metal or plastic band that fits snugly around the cylinder with a clip, which holds the hose in place. To comply with the Underwriters Laboratories (UL) listing requirements, manufacturers supply new extinguishers with a band and clip. Over time, the band or clip becomes damaged or lost, and it is the responsibility of the extinguisher service technician to bring the equipment back into compliance. For most extinguishers, it’s a quick fix that will satisfy your customers, since a hose that is not clipped tends to obstruct passage around the extinguisher and generally is an annoyance. Having a few straps and clips available for service calls is essential.
