Gang:
I have just ordered an automatic RV refrigerator Halon Fire extinguisher from RV Cooling Unit Warehouse. I am wondering what is the best way to install these? I am thinking of placing it lying down in the dead space above the refrigerator (now filled with insulation batting) above the burner assembly. I believe that Halon is heavier than air, and with this mounting the entire refrigerator compartment should be reliably flooded with halon fire extinguishing gas, especially in the burner area, a primary ignition source. Also, this highest spot should get the hottest and reliably trip the thermal valve for the extinguisher. Or should it be physically closer to the burner assembly?
