H3R Aviation BKT325 Bracket for 347TS & 349TS Fire Extinguishers

The H3R Aviation BKT325 bracket is engineered to securely mount H3R fire extinguishers such as the 347TS and 349TS Halotron BrX models. These extinguishers are larger clean-agent units used for aircraft and hangar fire protection. Matching the extinguisher to the bracket ensures the extinguisher remains stable during flight and is accessible in an emergency. Always confirm compatibility before installing on a specific aircraft model.

The BKT325 has been evaluated under FAA Designated Airworthiness Representative (DAR) testing, which means its mounting performance has been reviewed for aircraft applications. This testing provides additional confidence that the bracket will hold the fire extinguisher securely during typical flight stresses and operational use. FAA DAR testing supports compliance with aviation safety expectations. For operators, this translates to reliable retention of fire safety equipment.

ZThe BKT325 bracket is built from robust steel with a corrosion-resistant finish to withstand aircraft ramp, hangar, and cabin environments. Its rugged construction helps resist vibration, impacts, and environmental exposure common in aviation operations. The dual strap system firmly secures the extinguisher, reducing movement during flight and ground handling. Durable mounting hardware and design are important for long-term retention of fire safety equipment.

By mounting the fire extinguisher at a designated location, the BKT325 bracket ensures it is quickly accessible during an emergency. Mounting the extinguisher within easy reach of pilots or crew reduces response time in critical situations. Visibility and accessibility are key components of effective aircraft fire safety planning. Proper placement and secure retention help prevent equipment shift or obstruction during operations.

The BKT325 bracket can be installed in areas with sufficient clearance and quick access, such as near jump seats, cabin doors, or bulkheads. The actual mounting location should not interfere with aircraft controls, egress routes, or other safety equipment. Installation should align with both operational needs and aircraft interior design. Always consult the aircraft’s maintenance manual or safety officer for approved mounting locations.

The BKT325 bracket typically requires aviation-grade hardware suitable for the aircraft’s interior mounting surface. Because the bracket itself does not include fasteners, installers must select appropriate bolts, screws, or anchor hardware. Ensuring hardware meets structural load and vibration tolerance requirements is essential for safety compliance. Proper installation by qualified personnel helps avoid loosening over time.

While the BKT325 is FAA DAR-tested for aviation fire extinguishers, its rugged design and secure retention features make it suitable for other environments that demand reliable fire extinguisher mounting. Examples might include hangars, maintenance facilities, or industrial settings. However, for non-aircraft use, verify that the mounting surfaces and local regulations support the installation of this bracket. Using the bracket within its tested design scope ensures the best performance.

Secure mounting of fire extinguishers is a key part of aircraft emergency equipment requirements. The BKT325 bracket helps operators meet safety documentation expectations by providing a reliable mounting solution that minimizes movement during flight. Properly installed brackets contribute to compliance with aircraft inspection checklists and regulatory reviews. This adds an extra layer of readiness in emergency scenarios.

Routine inspection of the BKT325 bracket should be part of aircraft safety equipment checks. Technicians should verify that the mounting hardware remains tight, that the straps are intact, and that there is no corrosion or wear. Fire extinguishers should also be weighed and visually checked at regular intervals. Ensuring the bracket and extinguisher assembly remains serviceable supports sustained airworthiness.
