Fire Safety NO EXCUSES (A fire ext quick disconnet Build Thread)

RustyC · Dec 23, 2013

I have a question. For the rigs that have onboard fire extinguisher systems that use dry chemical. Will the system work properly if the rig is on it's roof, side, nose etc?
I know the standard extinguishers use a pickup tube to supply the chemical agent to the nozzle. How does this effect the use of the f/e if it is not valve up?
I ask because I have room for a 10lb f/e just forward of my shifter in my buggy, in reach of the driver or pass. I had planned on plumbing valve to a couple nozzles aimed at the engine/exhaust.
Not sure if it is worth the effort. I already have the f/e.

Will a cold fire type of f/e work upside down as well?

Just read the cold fire thread in the vender's section and it answered a few of my questions.
Now how would we make a reservoir using cold fire, plumbing and nozzles that would work no matter the vehicle orientation.
Swinging pickup? roll over/check valves? :dunno:

I'm picturing 3+ gallons and 4 nozzles at the engine. ???

Why re-invent.

Thanks John. That's a lot of equipment for the $$.
The cable actuator in nice for being able to remote mount.
Still wonder about the flexible pickup. If the bottle was mounted horizontaly and the valve end on the drivers side, I can see a flexible pickup working for three sides.
What if the rig was on it's drivers side? I would think the bottle just release the air charge once the pickup was uncovered.

Use one system but add a second bottle, valve to passenger side?

Can you pm me a price on 3 of these shipped to 37407

if you have a fire extinguisher with a plastic top on it, throw it in the garbage and go get one that's all metal.....those do not hold up to the vibration and will let you down when you need it!

Putting my rig together and thought this might be a good thread to bump to the top since its getting to be that time of year.

I picked up these ABC dry Chem ext from a local fire supply for $35 a piece. Well worth my rig not being burned down, or worse my occupants being burned. I have them mounted behind both sides of the B pillar, and have thought about adding one to the cabin and one to the stern. Seems overkill till you're on fire.

I am running two of the quick releases from Synergy but need one more. I wish I would have seen these first.

zayne2427 · Mar 17, 2014

Ordered 4 of these this weekend from jduck to go on mine and my wife's buggg. Can never have too many extinguishers

onepieceatatime · Mar 17, 2014

just ordered two myself

bgredjeep · Mar 18, 2014

I built some of these a while back but never mounted them since I already had the 2.5s mounted. Just got a new extinguisher so I finally got one of the mounts installed.

hjpcummins · Mar 27, 2014

Got mine ordered with Jduck

Hope to have them in soon will post up pics!

Yeah, Those aren't the ones that Jduck makes.

Those are Synergy (Poly Performance) sells http://www.synergymfg.com/Synergy-Quick-Release-Fire-Extinguisher-Mount-p-20655.html#.UzVCW01OVdg

They're $65 and require 2 hands to get the extinguisher off (and were discussed earlier in this thread).
