The OMP FAL6 1.4kg Single Seater Electrical Fire Extinguisher System is a compact, electrically operated fire suppression solution developed specifically for single seater race cars, where space, weight, and safety are critical factors. Designed around a lightweight aluminium cylinder and advanced discharge system, it delivers fast and effective fire suppression to both the cockpit and engine bay using 1.4kg of FK-5-1-12 clean agent.

This system is engineered to provide dependable protection without leaving residue or causing damage to sensitive electrical or mechanical components. Its compact size and low overall weight make it ideal for tightly packaged motorsport environments, while the electrically triggered activation ensures consistent and reliable operation in high-pressure situations.

Key Features:

  • Compact aluminium bottle with a 100mm diameter and 230mm total length, ideal for restricted cockpit spaces.
  • Lightweight system design at approximately 2.05kg, helping minimise overall vehicle weight.
  • Uses 1.4kg of FK-5-1-12 clean agent, which is non-toxic, non-conductive, and leaves no residue.
  • Six precision atomising nozzles for targeted distribution across the cockpit and engine bay.
  • Complete with aluminium tubing and high-quality fittings for secure and reliable installation.
  • Electrically activated system with control box, wiring loom, and push-button switches included.
  • Supplied mounting brackets and anti-vibration clamps for stable and secure fitment.
  • Environmentally considerate extinguishing agent with zero ozone depletion and low global warming potential.
  • FIA approved (Technical List 16) for use in open cockpit single seater race cars.

Specifications:

  • Bottle dimensions: 196mm length (230mm including firing head) x 100mm diameter
  • Total system weight: 2.05kg (±5%)

Supplied as a complete kit, the OMP FAL6 offers a practical and efficient fire safety solution for modern single seater race cars, combining compact design, clean agent technology, and reliable electrical activation.

Extinguisher Type

What is the difference between mechanical and electrical systems?
How you set them off. A mechanical system fires by pull cable from the cockpit, an electrical system fires from a button that can sit anywhere and adds an external trigger point for marshals more easily. This is the electrical version. Both plumb into nozzles around the engine bay and cockpit.

Is it accepted by scrutineers?
It carries FIA Technical List 16 Approved status. Extinguisher requirements are set per discipline, including capacity and whether a plumbed system is required, so check your regulations for the exact requirement and ask us if you want us to match a system to your series.

Does it need servicing?
Yes. Extinguishers carry a service date and need periodic servicing to the manufacturer schedule, which scrutineers do check, so factor a service into your running costs and note the date on the bottle when it arrives.

Can I install it myself?
A competent home builder can: the work is mounting the bottle securely, routing the plumbing to the nozzle points, and rigging the trigger. The instructions cover the layout, and we can advise on nozzle placement for your car if you tell us what you are building.
