Targeted extinguishant release

Designed for critical areas in need of fire protection, such as bow thrusters, generator and small electrical enclosures, consoles and fuel storage spaces, Sea-Fire says its Stinger FT Series FM-200 fire suppression systems feature a unique method of extinguishant release.

They incorporate hightech polymer tubing that ruptures when the proximal temperatures rises above 79oC.

The rupture forms a small nozzle that directs the FM-200 agent at the source of the fire.

The tubing is durable, leak-Resistant, flexible and temperature-sensitive. It responds quickly to temperature increases and provides rapid, effective fire suppression.

Stinger FT systems are easy to install, says Sea-Fire, require minimal space and need no power for activation.

The use of FM-200, which Sea-Fire says is the most widely available clean agent in use today, there is no residue cleanup after discharge.

Each model in the Stinger series is designed to protect a specific volume of compartment, so contact Sea-Fire for the correct size.

All systems include cylinder mounting bracket, two bulkhead adapters, six tubing mounting brackets and an installation manual.
