Dedicated water distribution and hose connections for firefighting access throughout buildings and outdoor facilities.
OVERVIEW
Standpipe and hose systems bring water to designated hose outlets through fixed pipework. Valves, hose connections and supporting equipment form an accessible firefighting network for the personnel identified in the project design.
System configurations
— Automatic wet and automatic dry
— Semi-automatic
— Manual wet and manual dry
Application considerations
High-rise buildings, warehouses, parking structures, industrial premises, tunnels and outdoor yards require different arrangements. Building height, freezing conditions, water supply and intended users influence the design.
