When it comes to being prepared, it is better to have the equipment than to wish you had the equipment. That is why when we spoke to Billy at ORS 4×4 we were excited about the opportunity to review their Black ORS Quick Release with Extinguisher and Cage Rings we jumped at the chance.
The quick release is extremely well built and fits nicely around both the fire extinguisher and the rollbar of the Jeep Wrangler. The release pin is snug, yet easily pulled out for fast retrival of your fire extingisher. The mount and cage rings are extremely solid and come together as a whole nicely. The marriage between the cage rings mounted on the fire extinguisher and the base mount on the roll bar is seamless and leave very little room for movement.
Overall, ORS 4×4 created an amazing product that provides function and security for that unexpected need to reach for the fire extinguisher. We highly recommend the ORS Quick Release with Extinguisher and Cage Rings.
The ORS Quick Release created with simplicity, durability and flexibility in mind with the ability to mount 1lb, 2.5lb and 5lb extinguishers with various mounting options.
Machined from 6061-T6 billet aluminum this two piece mount features a 316 stainless steel hinge pin and a 3/8′ stainless steel retaining pin with a 6″ nylon coated lanyard and a 6 inch nylon strap attached to the retaining pin for quick and easy release of the unit.
The mount is designed to be mounted directly on a roll cage with hose clamps, the optional billet clamps or flat mounted using the predrilled countersunk holes. The small yet sturdy unit is designed to work with a variety of extinguishers via hose clamps or the custom billet clamps available for a 2.5lb extinguisher (3″ diameter)
The release pin lanyard will attach on the base hose clamp, the 1.75 billet-mounting clamp or the bolt that would surface mount. Pull the pin, unit swivels apart for fire extinguisher removal.
7″ long 1″ wide 1 1/4″ from mounting surface to mounting surface.
Although the mount was designed for an extinguisher it can be used for many other applications where you need a solid mount with the ability for a quick release. *Flashlights, Shovel, etc.*
ORS Quick Release Approved by the NHRA.
Please note that the release pin should be checked regularly for free movement and lubricated if needed to insure proper operation.
