Before attempting to de-valve the extinguisher, be sure that it is completely depressurized. Never have any part of your body over the extinguisher while removing the valve assembly. Failure to comply could result in injury to, or death of, personnel or long term health hazards.

Halon 1211 should not be mixed with even the slightest amount of moisture. Prolonged exposure of a de-valved cylinder to ambient air should be avoided to prevent moisture contamination.

NOTE

Halon agent removed from an extinguisher at the time of maintenance or recharging shall be placed in a separate recovery cylinder and the extinguisher cylinder examined internally for contamination. The Halon agent, retained in the recovery cylinder, may be reused only if no evidence of internal contamination is observed in the extinguisher cylinder. Halon removed from extinguishers that exhibit evidence of internal contamination or corrosion shall be processed in accordance with the extinguisher manufacturer’s instructions.

6.1 Use instruction (5.4 COMPLETE MAINTENANCE) from TO 13F4-4-121 to discharge the valve assembly and remove the down tube from the cylinder assembly.

6.2 Once the down tube has been removed, use the inspection criteria below.

a. Visual inspection should ensure solder joint is fully penetrated by solder. A good solder joint will have a completely full solder bead all the way around the tube/valve joint and form a “fillet” between the valve and the down tube. This bead will be fully filled around the circumference with no gaps. (Refer to Fig 1-1)

Figure 1-1

b. A suspect joint will have pits, voids, and valleys in the joint. If a visible gap (lack of solder) is found between the Retainer and Down Tube interface (Figure 1-2 & 1-3), replace downtube/retainer assembly with approved Amerex manufacturer part (P/N:

04938).

Completion of the down tube inspection will be represented by the decal provided below stating the “The TCTO Number and TCTO Completion Date”. Per the standard, a decal is used to avoid corrosion that a stamp would cause. This page can be printed out and (Figure 1-4) can be cut out and used to create a decal once filled out. After the data for TCTO # and Date Completed is written in, apply clear tape to the front and back of the paper to laminate it. Placement for the decal will be on the right-hand side of the discharge valve. (Figure 1-5) Apply clear epoxy (NSN: 8040-01-628-6226) over the decal, to seal it from the elements. (Figure 1-6)
