Fire Hose Rack Assembly Systems

-- Steady & Reliable Manufacturer --

Introduction: Manual Fire Fighting for Large Areas

Fire Hose Rack Assembly Systems, or cabinet fire hoses, are manual fire fighting units permanently installed in buildings (usually inside a wall cabinet or standpipe system). These systems provide a readily available water source for trained occupants or fire department personnel to fight large Class A fires until professional firefighters arrive.

The system consists of three main components: a permanent riser/standpipe connection to the building's water supply; a pressure-rated, semi-rigid or fabric fire hose (typically 1.5 inch or 2.5 inch diameter); and a specialized hose rack or reel that allows the hose to be quickly unrolled or extended without kinking. The assembly terminates in a brass or aluminum nozzle for jet or fog stream delivery.

Installation must strictly comply with NFPA 14 (Standpipes) and NFPA 25 (Inspection and Testing) to ensure the system delivers the required flow rate and pressure for effective fire suppression. These systems are common in high-rise buildings, parking garages, and large industrial facilities. (Approx. 570 words)

Advantage: Unlimited Water Supply, High Flow Rate, and Occupant Use

  • Continuous Supply: Directly connected to the building's water supply, providing an unlimited extinguishing agent (water) for sustained fire fighting.
  • High Flow/Reach: Capable of delivering significantly higher flow rates (GPM) and reach distances than portable extinguishers.
  • Occupant Readiness: Designed for quick deployment by trained personnel, allowing fire fighting to commence before the fire department arrives.
  • Code Mandated: Required by NFPA 14 and most building codes in specific high-rise and large-area occupancies.
  • Durability: Hoses and nozzles are manufactured from rugged, pressure-resistant materials for long-term standby readiness.
  • Non-Kinking Deployment: The rack or reel design ensures the hose deploys smoothly and quickly without kinks, guaranteeing immediate water flow.

Professional Usage Tips

  1. NFPA 25 Inspection:

    The entire system, including the hose, nozzle, and valve, must undergo annual NFPA 25 inspection and testing, including a flow test every 5 years.

  2. Hose Relining/Replacement:

    Lined, woven jacket hoses must be removed, dried, and re-racked every year and should be hydro-tested or replaced every 5 years.

  3. Accessibility:

    Ensure the cabinet door or hose reel access is unobstructed and clearly marked; the hose valve must be easily operable.

  4. Training:

    These systems require specific training for occupants, as operating a charged, high-pressure 1.5 inch hose can be physically demanding.

  5. Pressure Verification:

    The system's water pressure must be verified at the connection point to ensure it meets the minimum flow/pressure requirements of NFPA 14 and the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).

FAQ

They are designed primarily for Class A fires (ordinary combustibles) using a water stream.

Installation must comply with NFPA 14 (Standard for the Installation of Standpipe and Hose Systems).

Lined woven jacket hoses must be hydro-tested or replaced every 5 years (NFPA 25).

Absolutely not. The solid water stream is highly conductive and will cause electrocution.

A rack stores the hose folded flat on a pin arrangement. A reel stores the hose wound around a drum, often semi-rigid/hard pipe.

Only trained occupants (e.g., building fire wardens) and the fire department should use 1.5 inch and 2.5 inch hoses, respectively.

The Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for high-volume steel hose rack assemblies is typically 5,000 units.

The hose gate valve is the control valve connecting the hose rack system to the building's vertical standpipe riser.

It refers to hose that does not flatten when uncharged and is often used on fixed reels, allowing water flow even when partially coiled.

Woven jacket hoses must be dried and properly reracked to prevent mold, mildew, and rotting of the natural fiber materials.
