Fire Extinguisher Brackets – Everything You Need to Know


Portable fire extinguishers – those you can carry to the scene of a fire – are the frontline go-to equipment in any workplace when a fire emergency occurs. Effective storage solutions for your fire extinguishers are just as important as having them on site.

A fire extinguisher bracket is a simple, cost-effective way to store your fire safety equipment. Fire extinguisher mounts or a fire extinguisher holder allow you to keep your fire extinguisher in a central spot so that you can quickly get to it when needed.

Importance of using a Fire Extinguisher Bracket


A fire extinguisher bracket helps boost the safety in your workplace. It:
  • Lets you place a fire extinguisher in a location that’s easy to access in a fire emergency.

  • Prevents damage to the fire extinguisher – for example, a cylinder standing on a wet floor can rust and get knocked over by doors or people.

  • Allows you to choose installation heights that children cannot reach for their protection.

  • Reduces workplace injuries, because people will not trip or fall over the equipment standing about on the floor.


A fire extinguisher holder is specifically designed to handle the weight and shape of fire extinguishers. There are different fire extinguisher mounts for different types of fire extinguishers. Let’s take a look at these to ensure that your choices are spot on.

Fire Extinguisher Bracket Placement


Fire extinguisher brackets are versatile and can be installed practically anywhere. There are several different ways to place, hang, or store fire extinguishers. One of the most common ways to hold extinguishers is with brackets, either lug brackets or J brackets. Lug brackets are designed for CO2 Fire Extinguishers and are shaped with a small lip for the 2kg and 5kg CO2 extinguishers to hook onto. J brackets, on the other hand, work well for most foam, water and dry powder extinguishers. Unlike the lip of the lug brackets, J brackets have a large, curving hook which most fire extinguishers can easily fit on. When placing the brackets, it is recommended that the brackets are situated no higher than one metre from ground level to allow easy access for most individuals.

You should identify each area in your workplace that needs a fire extinguisher during your fire safety assessment. This includes the type of fire extinguisher and brackets needed.

For example, for a server room packed with live electronic equipment, you will install lug brackets for CO2 fire extinguishers. In an industrial kitchen, you will affix lug and J-brackets to hold foam, powder, CO2 and water fire extinguishers.

As fire extinguishers must be within easy reach, placement is crucial. The rule is that a person should not travel more than 12 metres to reach emergency fire equipment.

Some workplaces, such as certain research and development facilities, need a fire extinguisher bracket in every room. Large setups, such as warehouses, will need more than one fire extinguisher on the floor.

With our CO2 fire extinguisher lug brackets, you can wall mount your CO2 fire extinguisher in the blink of an eye. It’s a versatile bracket with pre-drilled holes that holds 2kg and 5kg cylinders.

The Seton fire extinguisher J-bracket also features pre-drilled holes, so you only have to attach it to the wall. You can use this one for your AFFF fire extinguisher, for example.

Also, check out the sturdy fire extinguisher wall harness that attaches to the walls of any area. Tension straps secure a fire extinguisher and keep it out of the way in high-traffic locations. Plus, the hardened, powder-coated steel resists corrosion in damp or humid environments.

How to mount fire extinguisher brackets

It couldn’t be easier, many brackets come with the fixings necessary to install them. Usually they will be screws that allow you to affix the bracket to any wall, be sure to use plugs for the screws and that the wall in question is capable of taking the weight of the extinguisher you want to store. And that’s it, a versatile method of hanging and storing extinguishers.

How to mount a car fire extinguisher

Vehicle fire safety is as important as that in your buildings. A vehicle fire extinguisher mount is ideal for your fleet, construction site and warehouse vehicles.

These brackets keep a fire extinguisher from rolling around during movement while making sure that it is close at hand when the vehicle catches fire. You can mount Seton’s heavy-duty vehicle brackets for fire extinguishers inside vehicle cabins. The adjustable straps take different sizes, so it is a versatile option.

This mount fits in any vehicle from rugged construction trucks to forklifts travelling in and around distribution centres. You can even fit it in cranes and other industrial cabins.


Brackets vs Stands

One of the other effective ways to store fire extinguishers is by using a fire extinguisher stand, these are highly visible and are usually made from fire resistant material, they offer an excellent way to store extinguishers and make them visible in the event of emergencies, being visible through smoke due to their colour. However where brackets are useful is when you are short on space or have cramped conditions and still need to have extinguishers on prominent display, small kitchens, offices and retail storage spaces are all ideal places for installing fire extinguisher brackets.

Further storage for fire extinguishers

There is a wealth of options when it comes to storing fire extinguishers. One of the other most popular ways is by using a Fire Extinguisher Cabinet, these are large rotationally moulded units that can be affixed to a wall or free standing, they can be locked shut and have an emergency access window for quick access should a fire occur. Cabinets come in a range of options, being designed to hold two extinguishers, single units or for your car or van.

The choice is yours when it comes to how you decide to display your vital firefighting equipment, be it by using brackets, stands or cabinets we will provide the solution and ensure you are prepared for all fire emergencies.
