Thank you for your question. The overall height is 551mm, and the can diameter is 182mm. I trust this helps.

Thank you for your question. We would of course always recommend that this unit is installed and commissioned according to the requirements of BS 5036 Part 3. That said, the 6kg unit comes ready to use except for the hose and nozzle which is supplied but will require assembly. It may be the case that a smaller 1kg or 2kg powder unit would be sufficient in a small workshop - the 6kg unit does have a very substantial fire rating - some research into fire class testing would be worthwhile so you can see for yourself the size of fire that the unit can extinguish under test conditions. The point of performing an installation/commissioning service is to ensure that no damage, leakage or loss of pressure has occurred between the factory and place of final installation. I expect that there would be reputable fire extinguisher maintenance company local to you that would be willing to inspect and service your fire extinguisher at their premises or on site. I trust this helps.

Thank you for your question. This unit is supplied with a wire bracket which holds the extinguisher around the base, and also around the cylinder neck. It does not have a centre-strap as such, although this part is available separately. Please contact Firechief Global for more information www.firechiefglobal.com/contactus/
