RRS Ecofirex 4.25L Mechanical Plumbed-In Fire Extinguisher Kit – FIA Approved

The RRS Ecofirex 4.25 Litre Mechanical Fire Extinguisher System offers exceptional, clubman-focused value for money without compromising on critical trackside safety. Fully compliant with modern FIA Technical List 16 regulations, this plumbed-in system is specifically designed for use in closed-cockpit competition vehicles, such as stage rally cars, saloon racers, and circuit touring cars. Utilizing an Aqueous Film-Forming Foam (AFFF) suppressant liquid, the system rapidly covers volatile areas in a dense, oxygen-starving blanket to knock down petrol and oil fires fast.

The durable steel cylinder is meticulously treated with an advanced internal anti-corrosion coating to prevent any moisture or rust build-up over its operational lifespan, ensuring absolute reliability when you need it most. Operating completely via dual high-tensile mechanical pull cables, this fail-safe layout functions entirely independently of your vehicle’s battery or electrical network. Best of all, this system can be easily and legally serviced right here in the UK by our approved servicing agent, ensuring long-term affordability and straightforward pre-event scrutineering compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

• Is a 4.25L mechanical steel system legal for UK stage rallying?
• Yes. This system is fully certified under FIA Technical List 16, making it legal for a massive array of national and regional motorsport championships where an approved mechanical plumbed-in AFFF system is specified. Always verify the precise minimum volume thresholds required for your exact engine size or category in your championship logbook before building.
• How often does this RRS extinguisher require professional servicing?
• To maintain your FIA compliance and ensure the system operates flawlessly, the bottle must be inspected and serviced every two years. Because we work directly with an approved UK servicing agent, you can simply ship the bottle back to us for a certified pressure test, fluid reset, and official re-date stamp without expensive international shipping fees.
• Can I bend the aluminium tubing cleanly by hand?
• Yes, the supplied 4-metre aluminium lines are designed to be hand-formable, allowing you to route the plumbing cleanly along transmission tunnels, firewalls, and roll cage bars. For tight 90-degree corners, always use a dedicated pipe-bending tool or the included elbow fittings to prevent kinking, which would restrict the flow of foam during deployment.
