Fire bottle mounts?

[Larry Frankenstein]

Hi all,

I have a Diest FlameOut 5lb fire system but do not have the mounting brackets. Diest’s supplier is out of business so I need to get them used, source a similar pair, or make brackets.

Pegasus lists brackets at $50 ea., a bit too pricey for my wallet. On the other hand I could go the hose clamp route, not pretty but it should work

Any input on a reasonable source or other solution? FWIW - the bottle is 4.0” diameter.

Thank you,
L

The ESS bottle is 4 3/8", not sure if that is close enough to make work, and a pair of brackets is $38.00.

Try muffler/exhaust clamps for semi trucks.

I have 5/8 tubes that it sits on and 3 hose clamps holding the bottle to those tubes..

You don't have to be fancy with this. Mine rests on a plate and is secured by large hose clamps. Just make sure the pressure guage is visible to an inspector.

I have mine sitting on top of a piece of 4" aluminum channel with slots in it for the clamps. You should be able to buy a drop at a local shop for a couple bucks. If you want to pay shipping and a couple bucks to me, I'll send you one. PM me.
