## Discrepancy

DURING A L1/L2 INSP THE GALLEY AND LAVATORY TRASH BIN FIRE EXTINGUISHER BOTTLES WERE REMOVED FOR A WEIGHT CHECK. A VISUAL INSP REVEALED THAT BOTH BOTTLES WERE EMPTY, THE PLUGS THAT ARE NORMALLY SOLDERED IN THE DISCHARGE TUBES HAD MIGRATED PARTIALLY OUT AND RELEASED THE AGENT. THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE FIRE OR OVERHEAT ON THE BOTTLES OR IN THE TRASH BINS. THE PLUGS MUST HAVE BEEN IMPROPERLY SOLDERED IN PLACE DURING MFG. THE BOTTLES ARE P/N BA22557-1, S/N 35065, AND 35062.
