The Federal Aviation Administration recommends and/or requires Halon fire extinguishers for use on aircraft (see AC 20-42C). H3R offers two types of Halon extinguishers: Halon 1211 and Halon 1211-1301.
Hand-held Halon 1211 fire extinguishers are required on commercial transport aircraft, and for good reason. Though a liquid streaming agent, Halon 1211 also performs remarkably well as a total flooding agent, seeking out inaccessible fires. H3R rechargeable Halon 1211 extinguishers contain 100% recycled Halon with nitrogen as a propellant. A steel cylinder (except for the lightweight aluminum A1600) and all-metal valve construction make these units exceptionally durable. A pressure gauge enables easy confirmation of charge. A six-year maintenance and a 12-year hydrostatic test are required.

Tremendous firepower. Meets NFPA recommendations for combi and cargo aircraft use. Requires optional bracket 810 for use on aircraft.
Best priced around great and speedy service!
Also is the better of the 2 options since it is rated at 5,000 psi, not that I go to that high of pressure but I like the safety and security knowing that my chances of it blowing up in my face are a whole lot better and I can also purchase replacement seals for them at the same shop!!!
I bought the DC PTT because I know and trust the DC quality/durability to hold up to using every day. And so far it’s the best PTT I’ve used. I have a couple other no-name PTTs and the cable sheathing is crumbling and falling off. The DC PTT has worked even in sub zero cabin temp conditions when I didn’t have a functioning heater. I bought two to have a spare but the first one has been working great for 300hrs so far.
