Application in Motorsport Safety

In competitive automotive motorsports, fire suppression systems are critical for driver safety and vehicle protection. The SPA 8mm Bulkhead Fitting ensures safe and reliable tubing routing in confined engine compartments and roll cages. Proper installation of this fitting helps maintain system integrity during high-stress conditions — such as intense heat, rapid accelerations, and impacts — providing peace of mind for racers and teams alike.

Important Notes

• Not compatible with bare aluminum tubing: Use Dekabon tubing exclusively for optimal performance.
• Tubing sold separately: Ensure you have the correct 8mm fire suppression tubing for system assembly.
