This system meets SFI 17.1 certification standards, making it compliant with major U.S. sanctioning bodies across drag racing, circle track, off-road, and road racing. What is the purpose of the On/Off control valve?The control valve allows you to “Disarm” the system while installing the bottle and lines, then “Arm” it once installation is complete. This prevents accidental discharge during setup. Note: a small amount of suppressant and pressure may be lost when using the valve, so it should only be used when necessary. Which thermal bulb should I choose?Lifeline recommends using the lowest SFI-certified bulb (red, 154°F / 68°C) for the fastest fire knockdown times. Other bulbs are available up to 360°F for specific applications, though orange and purple are not SFI-certified and should be used only in non-SFI contexts. What tubing options are available?You can select aluminum, steel, or braided automatic lines. Aluminum tubing is lightweight and easier to bend for installation, steel is required by some sanctioning bodies for compliance, and braided lines provide additional durability in harsh environments. How does the system suppress fires?The Lifeline 5lbs SFI 17.1 system uses automatic thermal bulbs and 360° spray pattern nozzles to release suppressant evenly throughout the cockpit and engine bay. This ensures maximum coverage and rapid knockdown when temperatures reach the activation point.
