Unique within the industry, it is housed within a single fabricated aluminium cylinder, discharging into both the engine bay and cockpit, using environmentally friendly 3M?

The system is activated using the same Zero 3620 intelligent control box that continually monitors the system?s integrity and internal battery, advising the user of any potential issues. Plumbed to both the c...
