Plumbed in extinguishers, also known as under bonnet fire extinguishers, offer more advanced and comprehensive protection and are ideal for in-car fire suppression. They discharge fire suppressant directly into the engine bay at the press of a button – a highly effective form of fire extinguishing, providing the driver with the maximum amount of time to escape the vehicle safely, as well as potentially saving the vehicle itself.

Usage and motorsport compliance

All our plumbed in extinguishers comply with Motorsport UK and FIA standards. Note that some motorsports have specific requirements; single seat race cars require a system with a minimum of 1.5kg of extinguishant, while rally cars require 3kg of extinguishant in their plumbed in systems. If you would like specific information relating to your motorsport and the appropriate extinguishers, our team would be happy to help.

We produce fire suppressant systems for cars on the Formula 1 grid and WRC teams, as well as across a huge number of forms of racing and track days. We offer a wide range of installation options including a choice of locations for both the nozzles and the tank – you might also wish to have multiple nozzles or tanks available for total protection.
