Cylinders that fail testing must be taken out of service immediately. K&D Pratt’s Technical Services team provides SCBA cylinder testing and repair — contact us to schedule testing or to assess your department’s cylinder fleet.
We supply firefighting equipment, PPE, marine life safety gear, gas detection, industrial safety systems, eyewash stations, fire hoses, monitors, and general emergency equipment.
