In the excitement of a fire the inexperienced person sometimes will panic and fail to pull the pin before trying to operate the unit. As a result the person will bend the metal pin or ruin the valve causing the extinguisher to become inoperable.

This problem can now be solved with the installation of Fire Specialties' Shearable Nylon Pull Pin. The Shearable Pull Pin has a universal shaft 1-7/8 " long and is 1/8" thick. Constructed of a durable nylon material that will not rust or corrode and yet is shearable by firm hand pressure.
