Fire Extinguisher Halon 2.5lb

Description

A Halon 2.5lb fire extinguisher is a compact, lightweight suppression tool designed for aircraft cabins and cockpits where rapid flame knockdown and minimal residue are priorities. Halon 1211 (the active agent in most aviation fire extinguishers) interrupts the chemical chain reaction of combustion and leaves no powder or liquid mess—critical advantages in confined flight decks where visibility and equipment function must be preserved during an emergency. The 2.5-pound size fits standard aircraft mounting brackets and is commonly carried on single- and twin-engine general-aviation aircraft.

Before purchasing, confirm your aircraft’s approved mounting location and bracket compatibility with your POH or maintenance manual. Halon production for new civilian use has been restricted in many regions due to environmental regulations, so availability and pricing may vary. If your extinguisher requires inspection, recharge, or hydrostatic testing, work with an FAA-certificated repair station or avionics shop familiar with aviation safety equipment. Check expiration dates and pressure gauges regularly, as Halon systems lose charge over time.
