At 2.7kg for the filled cylinder and under 3.5kg for the complete system with all ancillaries, the Zero 275 is Lifeline's answer for competitors running to the demanding 8865 standard who refuse to carry a gram more than they have to. Compact enough to package almost anywhere, and engineered to lower your center of gravity while it's at it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eThe Lightest 8865 System Available\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWeight is the entire story here, so it's worth being specific.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe FIA 8865-2015 standard is the more demanding certification for plumbed-in fire systems, and systems meeting it have traditionally been heavier and bulkier. The Zero 275 breaks that: a \u003cstrong\u003e2.7kg filled cylinder\u003c\/strong\u003e and a \u003cstrong\u003ecomplete system under 3.5kg\u003c\/strong\u003e, which makes it the lightest and most compact 8865-2015 extinguisher currently available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe cylinder is 125mm in diameter and 308mm long, small enough to install and package where a bulkier 8865 system simply wouldn't fit. In a serious competition car where weight and mounting space are both precious, being the lightest and smallest option in its certification class is a genuine competitive advantage, not just a spec.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat A Plumbed-In System Actually Does\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWorth being clear and honest about, because it's important to understand what you're buying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA plumbed-in fire system is designed to \u003cstrong\u003edelay the development of a fire and give the driver more time to get out of the car\u003c\/strong\u003e. It is not designed to put the fire out or prevent the car from burning. That's the realistic purpose of any system in this class, and Lifeline states it plainly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnderstanding that shapes how you think about it: this is life-safety equipment first, buying you critical seconds to exit, and it happens to often save the car as a secondary benefit. The point is your safety, not the vehicle's.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIt Lowers Your Center Of Gravity\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the clever part, and it's rare for a safety system to offer a performance benefit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLifeline used advanced fluid dynamics analysis in developing the Zero 275, and the result is remarkable efficiency: only \u003cstrong\u003e0.3kg of Monnex\u003c\/strong\u003e is needed for the cockpit. That efficiency lets the cockpit nozzle be \u003cstrong\u003efloor mounted\u003c\/strong\u003e, which puts what weight there is down low in the car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA floor-mounted nozzle means the system contributes to lowering the vehicle's overall center of gravity rather than adding weight up high. On a car built to compete, every bit of mass carried low is mass working for you in the corners. A fire system that helps your CoG instead of hurting it is a genuine engineering achievement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCoverage Where It Matters\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHow the system actually protects the two critical areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ecockpit nozzle\u003c\/strong\u003e discharges a dry powder suppressant that floods the cockpit, mounted centrally in the vehicle with the correct orientation marked on the nozzle. That's what buys the driver time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ethree engine nozzles\u003c\/strong\u003e allow two to be positioned on either side of the engine and a third to specifically target likely ignition sources. That arrangement, combined with ColdFire suppressant, gives proper coverage across the engine bay from both sides while keeping suppressant volume, and therefore weight, down compared to previous 8865 systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003e8865 Certification At A Sensible Cost\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWorth knowing, since 8865 systems have a reputation for being expensive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe efficient design and intelligent material choices that make the Zero 275 light also make it affordable. Lifeline has brought the cost of this 8865 system down to be comparable with FIA Technical List 16 systems, which is notable, since 8865 is the higher standard and has historically commanded a significant price premium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHomologated To FIA 8865-2015\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe certification detail that matters for eligibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Zero 275 range (UK Patent Application No. GB1813948.5) is homologated to the \u003cstrong\u003eFIA 8865-2015 standard\u003c\/strong\u003e, extensively tested by Lifeline, the FIA, and BSI to meet its requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eConfirm which standard your sanctioning body requires before ordering. Some series require 8865 specifically, some accept the lesser Technical List 16 certification, and the two aren't interchangeable for eligibility. If you only need TL16, Lifeline's Zero 360 range covers that at a lower entry point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eService And Refills\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eImportant for ownership, since an FIA system is only legal while it's in certification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese systems run on a \u003cstrong\u003etwo-year certification cycle\u003c\/strong\u003e, after which the system must be serviced to remain valid for competition. The bottle is refillable and serviceable: you send it back to Lifeline, they service and recharge it, and it comes back certified for another cycle rather than needing to be replaced outright.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf your existing Zero 275 is past its two-year certification, \u003cstrong\u003eselect the Service option\u003c\/strong\u003e rather than buying a new system. That gets your bottle refilled and re-certified at a fraction of the cost of a replacement. Buy new if you're outfitting a car for the first time; choose Service to keep an existing system competition-legal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA few things to get right, since a mandated safety system has to be installed correctly to be legal and effective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003epower pack must be within the driver or co-driver's reach\u003c\/strong\u003e, typically on the center of the dash or center console, so it can be triggered from the seat. The \u003cstrong\u003ecylinder mounts transversely inside the safety cell or roll cage\u003c\/strong\u003e, positioned away from anywhere it could be damaged, abraded, or exposed to excessive heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCritically for tech inspection: the \u003cstrong\u003ehomologation label and FIA hologram must remain visible\u003c\/strong\u003e for scrutineering. Mount the cylinder so those can be seen, or you'll have problems passing tech.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause every race car is different, Lifeline provides best-practice guidance rather than exact placement, and professional installation is recommended. If your car's layout won't follow the standard guidelines, Lifeline Technical can advise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWho Should Grab This\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is for the serious competitor whose series requires FIA 8865-2015, and who wants the lightest, most compact system that meets it. The lightest 8865 cylinder made, a floor-mounted cockpit nozzle that lowers your center of gravity, efficient engine bay coverage, and a cost that's finally comparable to the lesser standard. Confirm your series requires 8865, have it installed properly with the hologram visible for tech, and carry the minimum weight the certification allows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart number:\u003c\/strong\u003e LYF-105-001-019. \u003cstrong\u003eStandard:\u003c\/strong\u003e FIA 8865-2015 homologated. \u003cstrong\u003ePurpose:\u003c\/strong\u003e delays fire to allow driver escape; not designed to extinguish or save the vehicle. \u003cstrong\u003eCylinder weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.7kg filled. \u003cstrong\u003eComplete system:\u003c\/strong\u003e under 3.5kg with ancillaries. \u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 125mm diameter, 308mm length. \u003cstrong\u003eCockpit:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.3kg Monnex dry powder, central floor-mount nozzle. \u003cstrong\u003eEngine bay:\u003c\/strong\u003e three nozzles, ColdFire suppressant. \u003cstrong\u003eService:\u003c\/strong\u003e refillable and re-certifiable by Lifeline on a two-year cycle; select Service if past certification. \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e black.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \n\u003cli id=\"VehicleFitment\"\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eUniversal\u003c\/p\u003e \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Lifeline Fire","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50497678999586,"sku":"LYF-105-001-019","price":2099.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2218\/5701\/files\/LYF-105-001-019_pnct.jpg?v=1790354934","url":"https:\/\/www.hybrid-racing.com\/products\/lifeline-zero-275-lightweight-fia-grade-fire-suppression","provider":"Hybrid Racing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
