Double Head Standpipes

Double Head Standpipes: A Vital Accessory for Fire Safety Equipment

As a well-known provider of high-quality fire safety accessories, Xinhao Fire understands the importance of having the perfect standpipe for your fire protection needs. One such accessory is the double head standpipe, which is primarily used to connect to the mains water supply via screwing it into an underground hydrant valve.

At Xinhao, we offer a comprehensive range of standpipes to choose from, with the double headed standpipe being one of the most popular options. These standpipes come in five primary types: single and double headed, with or without twin check valves, and a contractors standpipe with twin check valve. No matter which standpipe you choose, it is essential to use a standpipe key and bar to open the valve on the underground hydrants.

One of the significant advantages of the double head standpipe is that it gives you double the water flow rate than a single head standpipe. This is due to the standpipe featuring two outlets, which can come in handy when you have a large fire to extinguish or need more water pressure to reach specific areas.

Product Parameter

When it comes to the construction of our standpipes, we spare no expense in ensuring they meet the highest quality standards. The standpipe shaft is made of an aluminium alloy to BS 1474, ensuring it can withstand tremendous pressure and heavy usage. Likewise, the standpipe base and head are also made from aluminium alloy to BS1490, a material known for its high strength and durability.

Furthermore, the double head standpipe features twin check valves, which minimise the risk of backflow or contamination of the water supply. This feature is critical as it helps prevent the spread of harmful chemicals or bacteria in the event of a fire or other emergency.

In conclusion, Double Head Standpipes are a vital accessory for fire safety equipment that can make all the difference in preventing the spread of fire or minimising damage in the event of a fire emergency. With Xinhao by your side, you can rest assured that you have the best quality standpipes to meet your unique needs.
