Product knowledge base and guides
Product Overview
The 600mm Backing Board is a specialized wooden mounting component used in fire safety installations. It is designed to be fixed to a wall first, providing a secondary, reinforced surface upon which fire extinguisher brackets can be securely attached. This is particularly useful when mounting heavy equipment on walls that may not have sufficient structural integrity or when a clean, standardized mounting height is required.

Installation Guidelines
- Surface Preparation: Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and structurally sound.
- Positioning: Mark the desired height for the backing board according to local fire safety regulations (typically ensuring the extinguisher is easily accessible).
- Mounting the Board: Secure the wooden board to the wall using appropriate heavy-duty screws and wall plugs suitable for your specific wall type (e.g., masonry, drywall, or timber).
- Attaching Equipment: Once the board is firmly fixed, mount your fire extinguisher bracket directly onto the wooden board.
- Final Check: Ensure the extinguisher is seated correctly in the bracket and that the entire assembly is stable and does not wobble.
Safety and Maintenance
- Inspection: Periodically check the mounting screws to ensure they remain tight and the board has not warped.
- Weight Limits: Ensure the total weight of the extinguisher and bracket does not exceed the structural capacity of the wall or the board itself.
- Cleaning: Wipe the board with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals that may damage the wood surface.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this include the fire extinguisher?
No, this product is strictly the wooden backing board. The extinguisher and the mounting bracket must be purchased separately.
Can this be used on drywall?
Yes, provided you use appropriate heavy-duty anchors or find the wall studs to secure the board effectively.
Why do I need a backing board?
A backing board distributes the weight of the extinguisher over a larger surface area, protects the wall from damage, and provides a more secure mounting point in various building types.
