PD HAYLO 4kg Fire Suppression System – Mechanical or Electrical

The PD HAYLO 4kg Fire Suppression System is an FIA-homologated motorsport fire suppression system using 3M Novec 1230 clean agent, designed for competition vehicles requiring high-performance fire protection with minimal residue.

The system is homologated by the FIA to EX.057-19 and listed on FIA Technical List 16, with Rally: Yes. This makes it a particularly strong choice for rally applications where an FIA Technical List 16 system is required or permitted.

Available with either mechanical or electrical activation, the HAYLO system provides installation flexibility while maintaining the same FIA-homologated suppression performance.

Important: FIA homologation does not automatically mean that a system is permitted in every form of motorsport. Competition regulations vary by discipline, championship and vehicle. Always check the regulations applying to your specific event before purchasing or installing a fire suppression system.

Mechanical vs Electrical Options

Mechanical Activation

The mechanical version uses a manual pull cable to activate the fire suppression system.

• Manual pull-cable activation
• Proven motorsport configuration
• Stainless steel cylinder construction
• No electrical power required for activation
• Cylinder weight: 5.96kg

Electrical Activation

The electrical version uses an electronic activation system, providing a clean installation and convenient integration with a motorsport switch panel.

• Electronic activation
• Suitable for modern competition vehicle installations
• Switch-panel control
• Stainless steel cylinder construction
• Cylinder weight: 5.78kg

Both versions use the same 4kg Novec 1230 extinguishant and have a 16-year service life.

Why Novec 1230?

3M Novec 1230 is a clean-agent fire suppression medium designed to suppress fires without leaving the powder or foam residue associated with other extinguishants.

This makes it particularly useful around sensitive motorsport equipment and electrical components.

Key benefits include:

• Rapid fire suppression
• No powder residue
• No foam clean-up
• Suitable for electrical fire risks
• Suitable for fuel-related fire risks
• Compact, motorsport-focused installation

Lightweight Stainless Steel Construction

The HAYLO system uses a stainless steel cylinder, providing durability and corrosion resistance while allowing PD to use a highly efficient cylinder design.

Although stainless steel itself is heavier than mild steel, the strength of the cylinder construction means the system can be manufactured without the heavy internal bladder commonly used in some mild-steel extinguisher systems.

The result is a lighter, simpler system with fewer internal components.

The HAYLO electrical system weighs just 5.78kg, with the mechanical version weighing 5.96kg.

16-Year Service Life

The PD HAYLO has a 16-year life cycle, helping reduce the frequency of complete system replacement and potentially lowering the long-term cost of ownership.

As with any FIA-homologated fire suppression system, it must still be serviced and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's requirements and the regulations applying to the vehicle.

Race Rally Supplies can provide servicing support and replacement parts to help keep your system ready for competition.

Motorsport Applications

The HAYLO EX.057-19 is specifically FIA-homologated with Rally: Yes on FIA Technical List 16.

It is therefore particularly suited to:

• Stage rally
• FIA rally competition
• Rally-prepared competition cars
• Other applications where an FIA TL16 EX.057-19 system is permitted

For circuit racing, endurance racing and other disciplines, do not assume that EX.057-19 is automatically the correct system. Different championships may specify different FIA standards or Technical Lists.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the PD HAYLO 4kg Fire Suppression System?

It is a motorsport fire suppression system containing 4kg of 3M Novec 1230 clean agent, homologated by the FIA to EX.057-19 and listed on FIA Technical List 16.

Is the PD HAYLO FIA approved?

Yes. The HAYLO 4kg system is FIA homologated to EX.057-19 and is listed on FIA Technical List 16.

Is EX.057-19 approved for rally?

Yes. FIA Technical List 16 identifies EX.057-19 as Rally: Yes.

Can I use it for UK Stage Rally?

It is an FIA Technical List 16 system recognised under the current Motorsport UK fire-extinguisher regulations where TL16 is applicable.

However, you should always check the regulations for your particular championship, class and event before installation.

Is it approved for circuit racing?

Do not assume so. FIA Technical List 16 homologation and the specific application shown against EX.057-19 should be checked against the regulations for the circuit championship or event you are entering.

If your regulations specify a different FIA standard or Technical List, you will need a system meeting those requirements.

What is the difference between the mechanical and electrical versions?

The mechanical version uses a manual pull cable to activate the system, while the electrical version uses an electronic activation system and switch panel.

What is Novec 1230?

Novec 1230 is a clean-agent fire suppression medium designed to extinguish fires without leaving powder or foam residue.

How long does the system last?

The PD HAYLO has a 16-year service life cycle, subject to the manufacturer's servicing and maintenance requirements.

My extinguisher expiry says June. Does it expire at the beginning or end of the month?

The extinguisher remains valid until the end of the stated month, subject to the applicable servicing and regulatory requirements.

Can I buy spares?

Yes. Race Rally Supplies stocks a range of extinguisher spares.

Why are PD systems designed without an internal bladder?

The stainless-steel cylinder design allows PD to manufacture the system without the heavy internal bladder used in some conventional mild-steel systems. This reduces components and can help reduce overall system weight.

Why can PD servicing be more cost-effective?

The cylinder design removes the need for an internal bladder, which can simplify servicing and reduce the number of components requiring replacement. This can help reduce servicing costs compared with some alternative systems.

Is this the right fire suppression system for my car?

That depends on your motorsport discipline, championship regulations, vehicle and required FIA standard.

If you are unsure, Race Rally Supplies can help you identify the appropriate system before you purchase, rather than simply assuming that any FIA-homologated extinguisher is suitable.
