- Vehicle Applications: The Amerex 845 bracket is designated as a vehicle bracket per the Amerex Bracket Reference Chart. For other bracket types in the Amerex line (wall hooks, marine/aviation-rated brackets), refer to the bracket reference chart to confirm the correct model for your specific application and environment.
- Model Confirmation: Confirm that the extinguisher model being mounted has a 2.63-inch cylinder diameter before installing the 845 bracket. Use the Amerex Bracket Reference Chart to verify the correct bracket for any Amerex model not listed here.
- Mounting: Mount the bracket to a flat, rigid surface with fasteners appropriate for the vehicle structure. Ensure the bracket is oriented so the extinguisher can be removed quickly in an emergency.
What does the forked top prong do?
The forked top prong on the 845 bracket cradles the extinguisher's collar (the ring at the base of the valve head) rather than just contacting the cylinder body. This provides more positive retention and reduces the risk of the extinguisher working loose from vibration during vehicle operation.
What is the difference between the 845 and the 845B?
The Amerex 845 (item 05530) and the 845B (item 05693) are closely related brackets that fit the same extinguisher models (A384T, A344T, A620T). Confirm with your Amerex distributor which bracket version is correct for your specific installation requirement.
