Wholesale PricingThe Amerex 818 (Item #06570) is a red double strap bracket built to secure 5 lb fire extinguishers in vehicle and marine mounting applications. Constructed from steel with a corrosion-resistant red finish, it uses two straps rather than a single hook to hold the extinguisher firmly in place against the vibration and movement found in trucks, vans, boats, and similar mobile environments.
A bracket like this matters as much as the extinguisher itself in a mobile application. An extinguisher that has worked loose from a basic wall hook during transit is not a reliable safety asset and can become a hazard of its own if it becomes a projectile during a collision or rough water. The 818's double strap design and vibration-resistant construction are built specifically to prevent that outcome.
- Service and Fleet Vehicles: Keeps a 5 lb extinguisher secured and accessible in trucks and vans subject to road vibration.
- Boats and Marine Vessels: Corrosion-resistant finish and strap design hold up to humidity and vessel movement.
- Off-Road and Construction Equipment: Built to keep the extinguisher in place through rough terrain that would shake a wall-hook-mounted unit loose.

How is this different from the Amerex 821S bracket?
Both are double strap vehicle and marine brackets, but the 821S is rated for both 5 lb and 5.5 lb cylinders and is specifically rated for aviation use in addition to vehicle and marine applications. The 818 is sized for standard 5 lb extinguishers in vehicle and marine mounting. Confirm your specific extinguisher model and intended application before choosing between them.
Why does a double strap bracket matter compared to a basic wall hook?
A basic wall hook is designed for a fixed indoor location. In a moving vehicle or vessel, vibration and impact can work an unsecured extinguisher loose from a basic hook over time. The double strap design distributes holding force across two points, keeping the unit firmly seated through that movement.
Is this bracket corrosion resistant for marine use?
Yes. This bracket meets UL salt spray requirements of 240 hours at 20 percent salt solution per ASTM B117, the corrosion resistance standard referenced across the Amerex bracket line for marine and outdoor applications.
