The fire hose reel expels high-pressure water through its hose, usually making use of water to extinguish fires. As its name suggests, it is equipped with a long reel, allowing for extra accessibility to reach the source of the fire. It also comes with a control nozzle that controls the flow and direction from which the water is expelled, a hose guide, and an on/off valve. As fire hose reels are usually connected to the main water supply, they will be able to expel an abundant amount of water to extinguish fires. Do note that the fire hose reel is mostly used to combat the early stages of a fire and should NOT be used against large, engulfing flames. If you find yourself in such a situation, evacuate immediately.
In industrial settings such as factories, manufacturing plants, warehouses, and storage facilities, fire hose reels are crucial for managing fire risks. They offer immediate access to a continuous water supply, enabling workers to control and extinguish fires quickly, minimising damage and ensuring safety.
Fire hose reels are essential in commercial buildings, including office buildings, shopping malls, hotels, and entertainment venues. These environments require reliable fire safety equipment to protect large numbers of occupants and valuable property.
Residential complexes, such as high-rise apartment buildings, condominiums, and housing estates, benefit greatly from the installation of fire hose reels. These devices provide residents with the means to tackle fires promptly, protecting the lives and property of occupants.
When it comes to fire safety, one of the most important considerations is where to place your fire hose reels. You want to make sure they are easily accessible and positioned in areas where potential fires may occur. Here are some common areas where fire hose reels should be sited:
Fires can easily start in kitchens due to the presence of heat, oil, and grease. Having a fire hose reel installed in the kitchen area can help to quickly extinguish a fire before it spreads.
Corridors and staircases are high-traffic areas and a fire hose reel can help to quickly put out a fire in case of an emergency.
Machinery and tools used in workshops and factories can pose a fire risk. Installing fire hose reels in these areas can help to contain a fire and prevent it from spreading.
Areas that contain flammable materials or equipment, such as petrol stations or chemical plants, require fire hose reels for quick response in case of a fire emergency.
Fire hose reels come in different types, depending on their intended use. Some common types of fire hose reels include:
Manual reels require someone to manually turn the reel to release the water.
Automatic reels activate when the hose is pulled.
Fixed reels are mounted in one place and cannot be moved.
Fire hose reel cabinets are essential for protecting the hose reel from damage and for providing quick access to the reel when needed. The size of the cabinet is dependent on the length of the hose reel.
These cabinets are designed to accommodate hose reels up to 20 metres in length.
These cabinets are designed to accommodate hose reels between 20 to 25 metres in length.
These cabinets are designed to accommodate hose reels between 25 to 30 metres in length. This is standard hose reel cabinet size for most commercial spaces. Our fire hose reel is professionally designed, tested and approved to meet the rigorous BS EN 671-1: 1995 standards.
