OK. This may sound silly, but for an extinguisher mounted on a passenger seat bracket near the floor level, how do you orient the extinguisher? Nozzle inboard or outboard? What about the clocking of the nozzle/handle about the cylinder axis? I've seen pics of two different lateral orientations and my engineering sense says both ways might be correct. The one where the nozzle is inboard will lessen the chances considerably that the nozzle/handle will get stepped on, while mounting the extinguisher with the nozzle outboard will prevent accidental grabbing of the handle-trigger while adjusting the seat loacation.

As for the clocking of the cylinder, nozzle down will keep stuff from settling in the nozzle, but it will expose the handle-trigger to getting bumped/kicked/grabbed inadvertently. Nozzle up reverses these considerations. Nozzle toward the seat protects the nozzle somewhat but exposes the handle-trigger. Having the nozzle pointed away from the seat keeps the handle-trigger safe while exposing the nozzle to getting kicked.

So, what do you think?

like this and relax, with the pin in all is well

 

Thanks, after scratching my head some more I think that not having the business end stepped on during passenger ingress and egress is the dominating factor. Your orientation is it.
