30301102 – Textron Aviation OEM Fire Extinguisher Bottle for King Air Aircraft

Available now on the Airparts.aero Marketplace.

Overview

The Textron Aviation 30301102 is a genuine OEM, flight-critical fire extinguisher bottle assembly, the heart of the engine fire suppression system for the Beechcraft King Air 300 and 350 series aircraft. Manufactured by industry leader Kidde Aerospace, this high-rate discharge (HRD) bottle is engineered to deploy its entire charge of extinguishing agent in milliseconds upon activation. The assembly consists of a high-strength spherical container charged with Halon 1301 and pressurized with nitrogen, equipped with an electrically fired pyrotechnic discharge head. This component is essential for providing the crew with the ability to extinguish an engine fire, making it one of the most critical pieces of safety equipment on the aircraft.

Key Features

• High-Rate Discharge (HRD) Design: Engineered for near-instantaneous discharge. This rapid expulsion of the extinguishing agent is necessary to quickly inert the entire engine nacelle, knocking down the fire and preventing reignition in a high-airflow environment.
• Halon 1301 Extinguishing Agent: Charged with Halon 1301 (Bromotrifluoromethane), the industry standard for aviation fire suppression. Halon is a clean agent that effectively suppresses combustion by chemically interrupting the chain reaction of a fire without causing thermal shock to engine components or leaving a residue.
• Pyrotechnic Cartridge Actuation: The discharge valve is activated by an electrically initiated pyrotechnic cartridge (squib). This method provides a highly reliable and forceful valve opening that is far superior to simple mechanical or solenoid valves.
• Integrated Pressure Monitoring: The bottle assembly includes a built-in visual pressure gauge for pre-flight and maintenance checks, as well as an integrated low-pressure switch that provides a signal to the cockpit annunciation system if pressure drops below the certified minimum.
• Life-Limited Component: As a high-pressure vessel, this is a time-sensitive component with a mandatory, factory-defined service life. It must be hydrostatically tested and recertified or replaced at specified intervals to ensure its structural integrity.

• Primary Aircraft Models:
  • Beechcraft King Air 300
  • Beechcraft Super King Air 350 (B300)

Applications

The 30301102 is a cornerstone of the aircraft's emergency systems:

• In-Flight Engine Fire Suppression: Provides the primary means of extinguishing an in-flight engine fire, allowing the flight crew to safely shut down the affected engine and execute a single-engine approach and landing.
• Scheduled Maintenance: Must be tracked as a life-limited item and sent for hydrostatic testing and recharging, or replaced with a new/overhauled unit, to maintain the aircraft in an airworthy condition.

Why Choose 30301102?

An in-flight engine fire is one of the most serious emergencies a flight crew can face. The ability of the fire suppression system to function instantly and effectively is paramount. Using a genuine OEM 30301102 bottle assembly is the only way to ensure the part meets the certified discharge rate, pressure integrity, and quality standards specified by Textron Aviation and Kidde. For a life-saving device, there is absolutely no substitute for a fully certified, traceable, and in-date OEM component.

The 30301102 High-Rate Discharge (HRD) bottle is a complete system designed for rapid agent delivery. The Halon 1301 is stored in a liquid state under high pressure with a nitrogen gas charge. The discharge head contains a rupture disc that hermetically seals the agent within the bottle. When the cockpit fire handle is pulled and the discharge switch is activated, an electrical signal fires the pyrotechnic squib. The squib's explosive force drives a small piston or cutter that instantly shatters the rupture disc. The immense pressure differential between the bottle's interior and the engine nacelle propels the Halon agent through pre-positioned plumbing and out of specialized nozzles, completely inerting the fire zone in a fraction of a second.

Note: This is a flight-critical and hazardous material component. Handling, shipping, and installation must be performed by certified and appropriately trained personnel in accordance with all applicable FAA and DOT/IATA regulations. The component's hydrostatic test date and service life must be strictly observed and all maintenance actions documented in the aircraft's permanent records.
