BALANCED FAN COVERAGE. ENGINEERED SPACING. PROFESSIONAL BUILD.
The FRONTLINE 18 FAN is a professional 18-shot rack designed for pyrotechnicians who want wide, cinematic sky coverage without the bulk of a full-box footprint. Built with three precision-angled rows of six tubes, this rack delivers clean, symmetrical fan spreads—perfect for mid-show volleys, sweeps, and layered visual effects.
Like all our premium units, the fan configuration is built with Engineered Safety Spacing—providing critical air gaps between every tube to ensure proper thermal isolation and structural security, even during rapid-fire angled sequences.
Wide-angle impact, dependable, and built to last—this is where serious setups begin.
🛡️ THE GOLD STANDARD: WHY HDPE DR11?
In the world of pro pyrotechnics, the material of your mortar tube is the difference between a successful show and a dangerous failure.
- Shatter-Proof Safety: Unlike PVC, which can shrapnel into sharp plastic shards during a shell failure, our High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) is designed to swell or tear under extreme pressure, significantly reducing the risk of flying debris.
- DR11 Heavy Wall: We use the DR11 specification, providing a thick, durable sidewall that handles the high-pressure lift charges of modern 1.91" canister shells with ease.
- Signature Patriot Blue: Our signature blue tubes are UV-stabilized and weather-resistant, built for hundreds of reloads without becoming brittle.
🔵 COMMERCIAL-GRADE CONSTRUCTION
Each FRONTLINE 18 FAN rack includes 18 premium HDPE DR11 mortar tubes, built to professional specifications and trusted by experienced shooters.
- Inner Diameter: 1.91″ (Fits most consumer canister shells)
- Length: 12″ (Professional mortar standard)
- Bottoms: Factory-plugged and Quad-Stapled (4-point reinforcement) for maximum lift retention.
- Stability: Wide-stance, tip-resistant design built from reinforced lumber to remain rock-solid during angled launches.
