Refill Stations
If your brigade support battalion (BSB) does
not have a recovery/recharging station for
Fxed Fre extinguishers, chances are you have
a lot of extinguishers that get thrown away
when they’re empty. That’s a
huge
waste
of money. All BSBs are authorized to order
recharge/reFll machines for Halon, ±M-200,
and dry powder service unit (DPSU) Fxed Fre
extinguishers. Order them with these NSNs:

comply with the safety message.
Check your bench stock/ASL right away for these kits: annual service kit, NSN 4330-01-

You can’t get a new pressure switch for the oil

01-384-5419 anymore. That NSN is a terminal
item, so get the switch using NSN 5930-01-528-

new NSN in your parts manual.
