Fire suppression system
Posted: Sat Mar 08, 2008 12:14 am
I'm planning on putting in a fire suppression system. I want a system with electrical actuation as opposed to manual pull. I have been looking at the SPA technique, 4 liter, electrical actuation, with alu bottle:

and the Sparco, 4 liter, electrical actuation, also with alu bottle: http://www.sparcoracing.com/Sparco-Fire ... -p140.html
The SPA may come with 6 nozzles as opposed to 4 with the Sparco, but the Sparco may have larger diameter alloy tubing (one shop claimed it would make a difference in release time). Both systems use the AFFF chemical: non-toxic, non-corrusive, bio-degradable, ... List price of the Sparco is higher, but in practice I can probably have it for same or slightly less.
Any thoughts on issues to watch out for?
I already spent the big bucks on a HANS device, and the fire suppression system is another must have safety feature for me. If in bad luck a little handheld home extinguisher is not worth much...
