The OMP FAL6 1.4kg Single Seater Mechanical Fire Extinguisher System is a compact, mechanically operated fire suppression solution developed specifically for single seater race cars. Designed with strict space and weight limitations in mind, this system delivers fast and effective fire protection to both the cockpit and engine bay using a clean, residue-free extinguishing agent.

At its core is a lightweight aluminium cylinder paired with a precise gas discharge system, ensuring rapid deployment of 1.4kg of FK-5-1-12 extinguishing agent. This advanced clean agent is non-toxic, non-conductive and leaves no residue, helping to suppress fires without causing damage to sensitive components or leaving contamination behind.

The system is engineered for dependable performance and straightforward installation, making it a practical choice for modern motorsport environments where safety, efficiency and packaging are critical.

Key Features:

  • Compact aluminium bottle measuring 196mm (288mm including firing head) x 100mm diameter, ideal for tight cockpit installations.
  • Total system weight of approximately 2.2kg (+/-5%) to minimise impact on vehicle performance.
  • Uses 1.4kg of FK-5-1-12 clean agent for fast, effective, residue-free fire suppression.
  • Six precision atomiser nozzles provide targeted coverage across cockpit and engine bay areas.
  • Supplied with aluminium tubing and high-quality fittings for reliable routing and consistent discharge.
  • Dual mechanical pull cable activation with internal and external handles for compliance and ease of use.
  • Includes mounting brackets and anti-vibration clamps for secure, stable installation.
  • Environmentally responsible agent with zero ozone depletion and very low global warming potential.
  • Fully compliant with FIA Technical List 16 for open cockpit single seater vehicles.
  • Supplied as a complete kit with all components required for installation and operation.

This system offers a dependable and space-efficient fire safety solution, combining lightweight construction with high-performance clean agent technology—ideal for single seater race applications where both safety standards and packaging constraints must be met.

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 mechanical 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.
