Fire Hose Reel

-- Steady & Reliable Manufacturer --

Introduction: Critical First-Response Water Delivery Systems

The fire hose reel is one of the most accessible and fundamental pieces of firefighting equipment, designed to provide a readily available and continuous supply of water at the crucial first stage of a fire. As a specialized manufacturer, we understand that a reliable hose reel is the difference between a minor incident and a catastrophe. Our commitment lies in engineering hose reels that combine robust construction, smooth operation, and compliance with stringent international safety standards (e.g., EN 671).

Our product line covers both manual and automatic types, catering to various architectural and industrial requirements, from small commercial offices to large warehouses. The key to our reel superiority is the integration of heavy-duty brass valves, durable UV-resistant hose material, and precision-engineered bearing systems that guarantee smooth and tangle-free deployment, even in emergency situations. The system is designed for operation by non-firefighting personnel, making training and deployment intuitive and quick.

We primarily focus on supplying reels with hose lengths of 30 meters and 25 meters, standardized diameters (DN19/DN25), and operating pressures designed to deliver effective water stream penetration. By manufacturing key components like the nozzle and valve in-house, we maintain absolute control over quality and compatibility, ensuring that every reel system leaves our facility ready for immediate, reliable service. Investing in our fire hose reels means investing in peace of mind, knowing that a high-performance, compliant water delivery system is just moments away when an emergency strikes. We prioritize material strength, corrosion resistance, and longevity, ensuring our reels remain operational and aesthetic over decades of use in diverse climates. (Approx. 550 words)

Advantage: Durability, Compliance, and User-Friendly Design

  • Compliance Guaranteed: Products meet major international standards (EN, AS/NZS), simplifying compliance for global distributors and large projects.
  • Superior Valve Quality: We utilize in-house manufactured, heavy-duty brass stop valves, ensuring zero leakage and maximum longevity, which is a major point of failure in cheaper alternatives.
  • Smooth Operation Bearing System: Precision ball bearing mechanism minimizes friction, allowing for swift and effortless hose deployment, crucial under stress.
  • High-Durability Finish: Electrostatic powder-coated reel plates provide excellent resistance against rust, chips, and UV exposure, maintaining visual and structural integrity.
  • Low Maintenance Design: Engineered with minimal moving parts exposed to the environment, reducing the need for frequent servicing and inspection.
  • Complete System Supply: We provide the reel, hose, nozzle, and valve as a fully assembled, pressure-tested unit, ready for installation.

Professional Usage Tips

  1. Monthly Visual Check:

    Regularly inspect the hose reel and its cabinet for visible damage, leaks, or obstructions. Ensure the red paint/coating is intact to maintain corrosion protection.

  2. Annual Operation Test:

    At least once a year, fully unwind the hose and run water through the system at maximum pressure. This checks for hose integrity, valve operation, and ensures the hose unwinds smoothly without kinks. Always rewind the hose tightly and properly afterward.

  3. Nozzle Setting:

    Ensure the nozzle is always set to the 'Jet' or 'Spray' position (not 'Shut-Off') after use, making it ready for immediate emergency deployment. Non-firefighting users should be trained to use the 'Spray' pattern first to minimize water damage.

  4. Valve Maintenance:

    If the isolating valve feels stiff, do NOT force it. Lubrication or component replacement by certified personnel is required. Our brass valves are designed for longevity, but proper maintenance prevents seizing.

  5. Documentation:

    Maintain a service tag or logbook inside the cabinet documenting the date of installation, annual pressure tests, and any maintenance performed, ensuring regulatory compliance.

FAQ

The manual reel requires the operator to turn a stop valve to release the water flow. The automatic reel has a mechanism that activates the water flow automatically when the last turn of the hose is pulled off the reel. Automatic reels are often preferred for ease of use but require more complex valve mechanisms.

Yes. Our models comply with EN 671-1 standards, which govern hose reel systems with semi-rigid hose for fixed installation, making them suitable for use in high-rise residential and commercial buildings across markets adopting European standards.

We offer a variety of valve outlet sizes and threading standards (e.g., BSP, NPT) tailored to your country’s specific requirements. Our sales team will confirm the necessary standards before production to ensure seamless connection to your existing water supply.

The PVC/Rubber hose we use is UV-stabilized and highly resistant to environmental degradation. With proper inspection and maintenance (as per annual inspection standards), the expected service life is typically 10 to 15 years.

Our standard models are designed for versatile mounting. The swing-type reel is ideal for wall mounting, while the fixed-type is often integrated into our Fire Cabinets and Boxes for a streamlined, concealed appearance.

Our standard lead time for a quantity of 50 units is typically 20-30 working days from the confirmation of the deposit, depending on the current production schedule.

Hose reels are designed for use by non-firefighting personnel. However, basic training on how to operate the valve and aim the nozzle is highly recommended for all building occupants for safe and effective use.

DN19 (3/4 inch) is generally suitable for smaller areas and lower flow requirements. DN25 (1 inch) offers a higher flow rate and is often mandated for larger commercial and industrial spaces to deliver greater water capacity.

The hose length is manufactured and certified according to standards (e.g., 20m, 25m, 30m). Altering the length on-site is not recommended as it voids compliance certification and affects hydraulic performance.

The hose reel connects to the building's water riser via the isolating valve, which features standardized female threads (BSP/NPT) or flange connections, depending on the model and regional requirements.
