You do not want to find yourself locked in a server room with it's fire suppression system. That will suffocate you before the fire does.

-Will

Co2 and other gases will do the same.

That's cheaper than my 5 lb. CO2 extinguisher.

I was quoted that when shopping for a co2 5lb unit. They asked my application and said that they could supply a clean agent one for approx the same price.
Can't remember the brand. I plan to go visit them again after boat is launched.

I've seen the chemical ones discharged in a safety display and would only use one to physically beat out a fire. Until you see the mess these things make .................. then you'll then understand why I would never use one in a boat except as a last resort.

That's one of many reasons why a hands on fire practice session is an eye opener for many.

About the only DYI approved installs are hanging extinguishers....

These are effectively hanging extinguishers. Same bracket.same cylinder. Different head. No plumbing or nozzles.

Can't see it mattering. When you also carry co2 and powder backup.

you need to figure out who is certified to inspect the type of system that you plan to install

Checked the same way as the other handhelds. Remove from bracket, take to safety company along with other extinguishers that are aboard.
Every safety company I have dealt with can inspect them.
