Amerex 818 — red vehicle and marine strap bracket for all 5 lb. and 5-1/2 lb. Amerex aluminum valve fire extinguishers.
A wall hanger stops an extinguisher falling off a hook; a vehicle bracket holds a pressurised cylinder still through vibration, braking and roll. Amerex files the 818 in its Vehicle/Marine/Aviation group, not with the wall hangers: a perforated back plate and one strap latching across the shell.

818S is the same bracket with two straps and an identical hole pattern, 818B is black and 817 the 2-1/2 lb. size. The one that catches buyers is 821: same 5 lb. and 5-1/2 lb. extinguishers, but listed for aluminum and brass valve models, so the valve and not the cylinder weight decides.
