Application
These instruction plates belong on the hand pump-type Pyrene fire extinguishers of 1 quart (approximately 1 litre) capacity that were fitted as standard to the inside of the left dashboard on military vehicles from the WWII period. The plates contain the original operating instructions for the fire extinguisher.
Installation notes
The plates can be fitted in two ways: traditionally by first tinning (as per original) and then soldering, or with modern cyanoacrylate adhesive (super glue). Ensure the fire extinguisher is clean and grease-free before fitting. For tinning: use appropriate solder and flux for brass-to-brass connection.
Compatibility
These plates are specifically intended for Pyrene hand pump fire extinguishers of 1 quart capacity. They are not compatible with other fire extinguisher makes or later CO2/powder types. Check that your fire extinguisher has the original Pyrene identification before ordering these plates.
Historical context
The Pyrene Manufacturing Company of Newark, New Jersey, was one of the principal suppliers of fire extinguishers to the US armed forces during WWII. Their hand pump-type fire extinguishers were fitted as standard in virtually all military vehicles, including jeeps, lorries and tanks.
