AD: Kidde

AD NUMBER: 2003-26-14

MANUFACTURER: Fire Extinguishers
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2003-26-14
SUMMARY: The FAA adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Kidde Aerospace P/N 898052h and-held halon fire extinguishers that are utilized on aircraft. This AD requires you to remove the affected fire extinguishers from service and would prevent you from using them in the future. This AD is the result of information that shows that the discharge time of the affected fire extinguishers exceeds the maximum allowable discharge time. The problem is due to incomplete crimping of the siphon tube. We are issuing this AD to remove from service fire extinguishers that had this incomplete crimping of the siphon tube. If not removed from service, these fire extinguishers could function at diminished levels and compromise the level of safety in an emergency situation.
