Anti Torpedo System for Fire Extinguisher Systems - Pair

The RRS Ecofirex Anti-Torpedo System is a heavy-duty, race-engineered extinguisher mounting bracket designed specifically to survive the violent deceleration forces of a high-speed motorsport impact. In a severe front or rear accident, an un-braced fire extinguisher bottle can effortlessly shear through standard mounting straps due to intense G-forces, transforming the heavy cylinder into a highly dangerous cockpit projectile. This innovative "anti-torpedo" bracket completely eliminates that risk by utilizing a structural, wrap-around steel containment lip that physically blocks the bottle from sliding forward out of its mount.

Constructed from premium, high-strength steel with a durable corrosion-resistant finish, this cradle is fully compliant with modern FIA and MSUK safety regulations, making it an essential upgrade for stage rallying, circuit racing, track days, and hillclimbs. It features heavy-duty, quick-release stainless steel over-centre retention straps that lock the cylinder rigidly to the floor or roll cage sheet metal, while still allowing the driver or emergency marshals to unclip and deploy the bottle manually within seconds.

Key Features:

• Structural Anti-Torpedo Containment: Features a rigid, integrated steel end-stop barrier that prevents the extinguisher cylinder from sliding or launching forward under severe impact forces.
• FIA & MSUK Scrutineering Compliant: Engineered to meet the strict structural strength requirements mandated by international and national motorsport governing bodies for plumed-in or large hand-held systems.
• Heavy-Duty Stainless Steel Straps: Outfitted with robust, adjustable quick-release metallic over-centre buckles that clamp the bottle with immense tension without stretching over time.
• Universal Chassis Mounting Footprint: Pre-drilled with multiple heavy-duty floor mounting slots, allowing clean bolt-down installation onto transmission tunnels, floor pans, or custom bulkhead brackets.
• Anti-Chafe Protective Lining: The cradle and metal straps are designed to prevent aggressive metal-on-metal wear, protecting your extinguisher's painted or polished outer shell from structural vibration damage.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

• What size extinguisher bottles will this mount accommodate?
• This bracket is specifically tailored to fit the standard diameters used across the RRS Ecofirex plumed-in range (typically covering standard 2.25L, 3.0L, and 4.25L format cylinders). Because the stainless steel retention straps are adjustable, it can also accommodate alternative brand bottles of equivalent diameters. Please measure your cylinder's outer diameter before ordering to ensure a perfect flush seat.
• Why do scrutineers require an anti-torpedo design?
• Traditional simple ring brackets rely purely on horizontal friction to hold a fire extinguisher in place. Under a massive 30G or 50G frontal collision, the forward momentum of a fluid-filled bottle will instantly overcome that friction, causing it to slip right through like a torpedo. The structural end lip on this RRS bracket physically mechanically blocks that forward flight path, keeping the bottle safely anchored to the chassis.
• Is this bracket quick enough to unfasten in an emergency?
• Yes, absolutely. The over-centre metal buckles are engineered for split-second, blind operation. Even while wearing thick, fire-retardant racing gloves, you can instantly flip the heavy-duty levers open with one finger to completely release the cylinder for manual deployment or servicing.
