Fire Suppression System 5lb Automatic & Manual

The Fire Suppression System 5lb Automatic & Manual by SAFETY SYSTEMS is engineered for rapid engine compartment and equipment fire suppression in tactical, military, and law enforcement vehicles. Designed to meet the critical need for redundant fire control in high-risk operational environments, this dual-mode system provides both automatic activation under extreme heat and manual deployment capability—ensuring protection whether operators are present or the vehicle is unattended. With 5 pounds of suppressant capacity, it delivers sufficient agent to extinguish Class B and C fires common in fuel system and electrical emergencies.

This fire suppression system operates through dual-trigger activation: the automatic thermal switch responds instantaneously when temperatures exceed safe thresholds—critical for unattended vehicles or rapid-deployment scenarios where manual pull may be delayed—while the manual override lever provides commander-level control during active fire response. The 5lb agent charge is optimized for engine bay volumes typical of light tactical vehicles, SUVs, and equipment trailers; heavier discharge capacity minimizes agent waste while ensuring complete fire suppression coverage. Built to military specification standards, the unit features a corrosion-resistant stainless steel housing rated for extreme field conditions, vibration resistance for off-road transport, and quick-disconnect mounting that integrates seamlessly with OEM brackets or aftermarket installation kits.

Law enforcement SWAT units, military convoy operations, and private security fleet managers benefit most from this dual-mode design—operators gain peace of mind knowing the system activates automatically if a vehicle is disabled in hostile fire, while manual access ensures active suppression during mobile firefighting responses. Installation suits most tactical vehicle platforms including armored SUVs, transport trucks, and stationary command posts; the compact 6.5 x 6 x 18-inch form factor fits behind bumpers, under chassis, or in engine compartments without compromising load capacity. Annual inspection and recharge cycles ensure system readiness; replacement cartridges and service kits are readily available through SAFETY SYSTEMS distributors, making lifecycle maintenance predictable for fleet operations.
