Fire hose reels are used by a wide number of industries and commonly located in buildings and business premises for fire protection purposes.
They are designed to provide a controlled water supply to suppress any possible fire risk that involve Class A combustible solids. Either the water mains or water tanks can be utilized to provide the pressurized supply required.
The Fire hose reels are manufactured and approved to British Standard (European standard) BS EN 671-1. Compliance to the stringent test required by the above standard guarantees excellent durability and performance.
Where the fire hose reel is to be installed in an external situation or an aggressive environment, it shall be Protected by a cabinet or other suitable means.
The preferable location for any fire hose is no more than a meter from the floor and they should be mounted securely with the mounting brackets provided.
We offer a wide selection of fire hose reel, 3/4� and 1�, swing and fixed type, manual and automatic. The swinging hose reel is ideal for recessed or surface mounting - the swinging arm on the hose reels is designed with a double joint allowing the hose reel to be installed on the left or the right side making this universal and ideal for any installation.
Automatic hose reels are available with an internal valve built into the hose reel unit. The internal valve will open fully after three revolutions of the hose reel as the hose is pulled out. The automatic hose reel valve will close when the hose is wound back onto the reel. The fixed hose reel will provide a standard mount as shown.
Fire hose reels comes in 2 main types. The first is an automatic reel and the second a manual reel. They can be recess mounted, cabinet mounted, fixed or swinging. In fact they can be manufactured to suite most placements. The main difference between the automatic and manual fire hose reels are as follows:
The automatic fire hose reel is designed as a pull and run system, this means that as you pull out the hose the turning motion of the fire hose reel turns on the water supply allowing the user to get water very quickly and without fumbling with taps.
The manual fire hose reel is a cheaper unit but requires the operator to turn the water on first before running the hose out. Its use can be hindered by sticking stop-cock taps and seized valves. The preferred type of fire hose reel is the automatic reel as the valve is contained inside the reel and is therefore protected.
