Design and installation guide
Steel-door fire hose cabinet: organised installation and site fit
The steel-door model keeps the hose reel and branchpipe organised within a closed enclosure. The body is made from 1.2 mm galvanized sheet steel with red, white or black electrostatic powder coating. Wall and connection conditions determine the mounting arrangement.
01
Product selection and installation planning
Selection brings the product connection and layout requirements together with the needs of the site.
Wall and door clearance
Check circulation space for surface mounting, and the wall recess and supporting fixings for recessed mounting.
Hose and valve selection
Select the 20, 25 or 30 m hose and 2" (50 mm) fire valve according to the deployment route and water line.
Reel and connection
Leave movement space for the galvanized reel and brass central waterway, and assess hose bends and friction points.
Handover and maintenance
Include the door, lock, hose, valve and branchpipe in the maintenance plan. Identification keeps the equipment easy to locate with the door closed.
02
Application planning for different spaces
These examples describe conditions to assess during the site survey. The fire protection design determines the final layout and equipment selection.
Factory corridors
- Site requirement
- Frequent use and a clear equipment frontage.
- Planning approach
- Determine the door direction and location alongside site traffic.
Commercial building service areas
- Site requirement
- Wall recesses and limited circulation space.
- Planning approach
- Select a recessed configuration after checking the wall and pipe entry.
