Halon Fire Extinguisher

I ordered one of these today. I plan to install in the fridge compartment.

Outside of the coach in the refrigerator compartment.

I paid $160 for the model with the 90 degree end.

Ok, now it makes sense. I just looked up your unit and as big as it is it should have a residential sprinkler system already built into it. Good luck with it and hope you never have to use it.

Another great place to mount this is if you have a motorhome with a built in generator is to mount on top of the generator box. Halon is a great product. Too bad they placed so much restrictions on its use. I used to design and install systems for large computer rooms. They do not leave any powder or and residue behind. But they put out a fire so quick your head will spin.


Here is a video to show what it does with nothing damaged othher than the system having to be refilled. This was an accident not a fire video.

Great video. Several years ago I was in our TV studio when technician servicing unit triggered it. No warning or chance to abort. Other than scaring me half to death, I survived with no ill effects. Equipment, including computers, was fine also.
