Material of Fire Fighting Hose Reels 

 

The materials used in fire fighting hose reels are selected for their ability to endure extreme conditions, ensuring that the equipment remains operational during emergencies.

Given that hose reels are often exposed to moisture and harsh environments, materials like stainless steel and brass are ideal for preventing rust and degradation.

Fire fighting hoses and their components must withstand high temperatures. Rubber compounds and metals like stainless steel are excellent choices due to their high heat resistance.

411

01

Hose Reel Drum

Material: Usually made of steel, stainless steel, or reinforced plastic.

Reason: These materials provide the necessary strength and corrosion resistance to withstand harsh environments and prolonged exposure to the elements.

02

Fire Hose

Material: Typically made from rubber or synthetic rubber compounds

Reason: Rubber and synthetic rubbers offer high resistance to heat, abrasion, and chemicals, ensuring the hose remains intact and functional during intense fire-fighting activities.

03

Nozzle

Material: Commonly made of brass, aluminum, or stainless steel.

Reason: These metals are chosen for their durability, resistance to corrosion, and ability to withstand high pressures and temperatures.

04

Control Valve

Material: Often constructed from brass, bronze, or stainless steel.

Reason: These materials ensure reliable operation and longevity, as they resist corrosion and wear even under frequent use and high pressure.

 
How Do Fire Fighting Hose Reels work
 

Water Source Connection

Fire hose reels are typically connected to a building's main water supply system or an independent water tank through a network of pipes. These water sources provide a continuous and high-pressure water supply, ensuring the water flow remains uninterrupted during emergencies.

Control Valve and Activation

A control valve is installed on the reel. When the hose needs to be used, opening the control valve starts the water flow.

Some advanced fire hose reels have an automatic activation system, where pulling out the hose automatically initiates the water flow, reducing response time.

Water Flow and Pressure

Water from the supply system enters the hose through the control valve, traveling through the hose under high pressure.

The high-pressure water flow ensures that water can cover a larger area and effectively extinguish flames.

Nozzle Function

The hose's end is fitted with a nozzle, which can adjust the shape and pressure of the water flow, allowing users to select the most effective firefighting method for the situation.

The nozzle design ensures that water can be directed precisely to the fire source, maximizing extinguishing efficiency.

How to Use Fire Fighting Hose Reels

 

Locate the Fire Hose Reel

Identify the nearest fire hose reel, which is typically installed in a prominent and accessible location, often marked with a sign.

01

Open the Hose Reel Cabinet

Open the door or cover of the hose reel cabinet to access the hose and control valve.

02

Turn On the Control Valve

Turn the control valve or handle (usually located near the hose reel) to the "on" position to start the flow of water.

03

Unroll the Hose

Unroll the hose completely to ensure a smooth water flow. Make sure the hose is not twisted or obstructed.

04

Direct the Nozzle

Hold the nozzle firmly and direct it toward the base of the fire. Stand at a safe distance from the flames.

05

Open the Nozzle

Open the nozzle by turning or squeezing the handle. This action will release the water and allow you to control the flow and spray pattern.

01

Extinguish the Fire

Aim the water stream at the base of the fire, sweeping side to side if necessary. Move closer to the fire only if it is safe to do so and continue to apply water until the fire is extinguished.

02

Shut Off the Water

Once the fire is out, return to the control valve and turn it off to stop the water flow.

03

Rewind the Hose

Rewind the hose onto the reel, either manually or using the reel's automatic rewind mechanism if available. Ensure the hose is neatly wound for future use.

04

Close the Cabinet

Close the hose reel cabinet to protect the hose and equipment.

How To Install Fire Fighting Hose Reels 

 
Planning and Compliance

Consult Regulations: Check local fire safety regulations and standards (such as NFPA or relevant local codes) to ensure compliance.

Site Assessment: Evaluate the building layout to determine the best locations for hose reels, ensuring they are easily accessible and strategically placed.

 
Choosing the Location

Accessibility: Install hose reels in easily accessible areas, such as near exits, staircases, and in prominent hallways.

Coverage: Ensure that the hose reel can cover the entire area it is meant to protect, with the hose reaching all corners of the space.

Visibility: Place hose reels in visible locations and mark them with appropriate signage.

 
Mounting the Hose Reel

Mounting Height: The hose reel should be mounted at a height that allows easy access, typically around 1.5 meters (5 feet) from the floor.

Wall Support: Ensure the wall or mounting surface is strong enough to support the weight of the hose reel and the water-filled hose.

Brackets and Fasteners: Use appropriate mounting brackets and fasteners (usually provided with the hose reel) to securely attach the reel to the wall. Ensure that the brackets are level and securely fixed.

 
Connecting the Water Supply

Pipe Installation: Install a pipeline from the building's main water supply to the hose reel. The pipe should be of adequate size to ensure sufficient water flow and pressure.

Isolation Valve: Install an isolation valve near the hose reel to allow for maintenance without shutting off the main water supply.

Flexible Hose: Use a flexible hose connection between the pipe and the hose reel to accommodate any movement and reduce stress on the connections.

 
Testing the Installation

Pressure Test: Conduct a pressure test to ensure there are no leaks and that the water flow is adequate.

Functional Test: Unwind the hose fully, open the control valve, and test the nozzle to ensure the water flows correctly and the spray pattern is effective.

 
Signage and Instructions

Signage: Install clear signage indicating the location of the hose reel and instructions for use.

Usage Instructions: Place usage instructions near the hose reel to guide users on how to operate it in an emergency.
