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:
- Activation: The valve is opened, either manually or automatically when the hose is pulled out, to allow water to flow.
- Deployment: The hose is then pulled from the reel and extended towards the fire.
- 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.
