Which size Danny?

[Tony B]

Which Kiddies do you want to extingush? And do they work on Chav's?:-D

[Danny152]

Adrian,

 

It is the type that sits next to the driver.

 

Thanks

Ok, that's not one of them btw, that one is a 2 1/2 lb as used in half tracks. You want the 4 lb type which have a flat bottom and are fatter.

That image is pretty much the same as my 4lb US Kidde unit Adrian. I found one on e-bay US, with the original mounting bracket, for my T-36. I don't have a separate link to an image, but you can see it and the bracket, near the bottom of this thread;

When you find one, there is a link somewhere on G503 to someone who has reproduced the Kidde decals too.

Gordon,

 

I saw the transfers and for $10 I bought a couple, good examples!

 

Adrian,

 

Is one of these the right size? What sort of bracket would it have?

 

Thanks

I have the Naval Aviation listing for the Pistol Grip CO2 Kidde extinguishers here ( denoted by the "R" prefix)

 

2.36lbs, 16" long, total weight 8.9lbs, model 2TA, part no 26295, stock code R58-E-205

3.62lbs, 20 3/16" long, total weight 13.5lbs, model 4TB, part no 93138, stock code R58-E-211-22

5 lbs, 15 7/8" long, total weight 16.3lbs, model 5TA, part no 92755, stock code R58-E-207

7lbs 4oz, 20 3/8" long, total weight 22.2lbs, model 7TA, part no 92508, stock code R58-E-210

 

Spec M106C, Walter Kidde and Company

 

the 15lb CO2 capacity unit weighs 55lbs total, and stock code is 58-E-194, but it doesn't specify a manufacturer. My "4lb"Kidde unit meets the details of the R58-E-211-22 above

[Danny152]

Gordon,

 

Any idea about this one, it is 1945 dated. It seems abit bigger and as Adrian says it has a flatter bottom, I believe it is the last three digits 755 as mentioned above.

 

Thanks

Sorry Danny, got no matches to that number. The only general point in the listing is that all the Kidde items listed are CO2 units, while powder, chemical, etc are all other manufacturers. Up to 7lbs weight seem to be available primarily as pistol grip units

[Adrian Barrell]

The Kidde-Lux 4lb was a D37127, is 17" high, 4 1/2" diameter and weighs 16 3/4 lbs fully charged.

There was also an equivalent made by C-O-Two which was much the same but used a more conventional squeeze grip and trigger.

Gents,

 

Thanks for your time and help, this type is 16lb when charged, it will do for a example as was only £30. I have emailed the kidde factory and see if they can help. I will keep you updated.

 

Thanks
