Description

fire hose reel is a high-pressure hose that extinguishers a fire using water or other fire retardant material that it carries. It is usually attached to a fire engine or a fire hydrant when used outdoors. It can be attached to a building’s standpipe or plumbing system when used indoors.

Fire Hose Reels are renowned for providing unlimited water supply to extinguish fires and protect against the heat. They can extinguish a fire up to ten times greater than fire extinguishers.

Key Features:
  • Hose:

    A flexible hose, usually 36 meters in length, made of non-kinking material, is wound around a reel. 

  • Reel:

    The reel is a cylindrical spindle, often made of metal, that allows the hose to be easily unwound and retracted. 

  • Nozzle:

    A nozzle is attached to the end of the hose and allows the user to control the water flow and direction. 

  • Valve:

    A valve, either manual or automatic (in the case of automatic reels), controls the water supply to the hose. 

  • Cabinet/Location:

    Fire hose reels are typically housed in cabinets or mounted on walls and are clearly identified with signage. 

How it works:
  1. Activation: The valve is opened, either manually or automatically when the hose is pulled out, to allow water to flow. 
  2. Deployment: The hose is then pulled from the reel and extended towards the fire. 
  3. Extinguishing: The nozzle is used to direct the water stream at the base of the flames. 
Important Considerations:
  • Class A Fires:

    Fire hose reels are designed for Class A fires and are not suitable for electrical fires or flammable liquids. 

  • Safety:

    Ensure a clear line of retreat when using a fire hose reel and be aware of the potential for electrical hazards if used on electrical equipment. 

  • Regular Maintenance:
    Proper installation, maintenance, and replacement of fire hose reels are crucial for their effective and safe operation.
