898867-3 - Kiddie Aerospace 536 Cubic Inches Dual Outlet Halon Fire Extinguisher

898867-3 – Kidde Aerospace 2.5 lb Halon 1211 Portable Fire Extinguisher

Available now on the Airparts.aero Marketplace.

Overview

The Kidde Aerospace 898867-3 is a flight-critical, 2.5 lb. portable fire extinguisher, the standard for immediate fire suppression in aircraft cockpits and cabins. It is important to note that this part number corresponds to a hand-held unit charged with Halon 1211 streaming agent, and is distinct from larger, fixed-system bottles used for engine or cargo bay fire suppression. The 898867-3 is designed for rapid deployment by the flight or cabin crew to combat Class A (combustible solids), B (flammable liquids), and C (electrical) fires.

The unit's effectiveness is derived from its Halon 1211 charge, a powerful "clean agent" that extinguishes fires at a chemical level. Upon discharge, the agent rapidly vaporizes, leaving no residue and causing no collateral damage to sensitive avionics or flight instruments. This self-contained extinguisher, complete with a pressure gauge and robust discharge valve, is a fundamental component of an aircraft's onboard safety and emergency equipment.

Key Features

• Contains Halon 1211 Clean Agent: The premier extinguishing agent for aviation, offering rapid fire suppression with zero residue, protecting critical electronic and avionic equipment.

• Effective on Class A, B, C Fires: Provides a single, effective solution for the most common types of fires encountered in an aircraft environment.

• Portable Hand-Held Design: Engineered for quick removal from its stowage bracket and intuitive operation by the flight crew or cabin crew during an emergency.

• Non-Conductive Agent: Halon 1211 is electrically non-conductive, making it safe for use on energized electrical equipment fires.

• Integrated Pressure Gauge: A simple, color-coded pressure gauge provides an immediate and unambiguous indication of the extinguisher's readiness and charge state.

• DOT-Rated Steel Cylinder: The high-pressure cylinder is manufactured and tested to Department of Transportation (DOT) standards for safety and reliability.

Note: Verification of applicability is the responsibility of the installer. Always consult the current version of the aircraft's Illustrated Parts Catalog (IPC) and maintenance manual to confirm part number eligibility for a specific aircraft and location.

Applications

• On-board, manual fire suppression for the flight deck (cockpit).

• Fire protection for the passenger cabin, galleys, and lavatories.

• Required safety equipment for compliance with 14 CFR Part 25, 91, 121, and 135 operations.

Why Choose 898867-3?

For aircraft certified with Halon extinguishers, using the fully certified, OEM-specified unit is mandatory for airworthiness. The Kidde 898867-3 guarantees that the unit contains the correct type and quantity of Halon 1211, is properly pressurized, and has passed all required hydrostatic tests and inspections. The proven effectiveness and clean-agent properties of Halon 1211 are unparalleled for protecting both the aircraft's occupants and its irreplaceable avionics in a fire emergency. Substituting a non-certified or alternative-agent extinguisher where Halon is specified is a violation of the aircraft's type certificate.

The designation of Halon 1211 as a "clean agent" is a critical engineering attribute for its use in an aircraft cockpit or cabin. Upon discharge from the pressurized 898867-3 cylinder, the liquefied gas undergoes a phase transition, rapidly expanding into a vapor. Unlike dry chemical agents which discharge a fine powder that severely obscures vision and is highly corrosive to electronics, or CO2 which displaces oxygen and poses a significant asphyxiation risk in a confined space, Halon 1211 extinguishes the fire via chemical chain-breaking while remaining a clear, non-conductive gas. This ensures that pilots' vision is not impaired, life-sustaining oxygen is not displaced, and no particulate or chemical residue is left behind to damage sensitive avionic displays, switch panels, or flight instruments. This allows for the maximum possibility of safely controlling the aircraft after a fire has been extinguished.

Note: This is a flight-critical piece of life-saving equipment. It is a highly pressurized cylinder and must be handled, stowed, and shipped as such. It must be visually inspected before each flight to ensure the pressure gauge is in the green serviceable range and the safety pin is properly installed and secured. This extinguisher is a life-limited item that requires periodic weighing and hydrostatic testing by a certified DOT-approved repair station in strict accordance with 14 CFR regulations and the Component Maintenance Manual (CMM).
