Halon FE-36 fire system installation with 3 nozzles

[bjhines]

I have a couple of these FE 36 extinguishers for electrical equipment rooms. These are the kind you will see in high$$$ installations to protect equipment from the corrosive effects of other dry chemical types.

These are big(10lbs) extinguishers that carry a variety of ratings including Coast Guard and aircraft types. They are hand held with a handle type firing head. The head uses a AN- style, O-ringed, discharge-fitting.

 

I figured I could use one of them to serve as my fire safety system installed in my track car.

 

I had to modify the head to use a pull cable. I also had to modify the discharge fitting to adapt to my plumbing.

 

 

I used 4.25" band clamps to mount the bottle behind the driver's seat.

 

 

 

I purchased a Fire-Safe systems pull type cable and installed it in the hand brake location.

 

 

 

 

 

I used copper tubing and compression fittings to plumb the 3 nozzles in the driver's area, the firewall, and the fuel tank area.

BJ...............Your car is moving along. Will we see it on track this summer? Good job on the fire system. Be sure the pull cable is secure and wont allow some dumba** to pull it away from the bottle.
