Is that a Halon bottle? Is it plumbed to the engine compartment or into the cockpit??

My bottle is from Stroud Safety of OKC (used to be Phoenix fire Suppression systems), it is plumbed via a single aluminum line to a T bulkhead fitting on the engine side of the firewall, there it splits to two sprayers. One sprayer is plumbed through the top of the baffling and discharges directly over the spider, the second to a sprayer in the center of the firewall aft of the baffling the spray will discharge around the oil filter , lines, fuel lines, fuel pump and magnetos. I apparently do not know how to send a picture so email me directly if you wish to see pictures. My reason for installing the bottle is that I put one in a Glastar and went to A&P school for transport aircraft.
My plan if the fire is in the engine compartment, I will shut off the fuel and blow the bottle; the safety pin is usually installed and safe tied to a post on the tunnel. The only difference is that my solution requires I detect the fire before activating the suppression system. On the transport aircraft an engine fire is detected by a system and the fire light illuminates and the crew can verify and then supress with a single button.

Yes it is a Halon bottle and the extra nozzle on the neck of the bottle does not but could be plumbed into the tunnel. Picture should be on the list picture file.
