Fire Rating Advice

Hose reels cannot be used as the sole method of fighting fires. Fire hose reels are suitable for class A fires only and therefore must be installed in conjunction with other classes of fire fighting equipment to suit the potential fire hazards.

Considerations

Careful consideration needs to be given to the following

Fire hose reels are not straightforward to install and we highly recommend that you use a licensed plumber
Installation must be carried out in accordance with AS2441:2005
Hose reel placement is covered by the Building Code of Australia (BCA)
Hose reels should only be connected to a dedicated fire line, not mains water
It will save time and money if you can locate the fire line shut off valve prior to the plumber arriving
Flow rate should be a minimum of 19.8 litres per minute for 19mm hoses and 24.6 litres per minute for 25mm hoses
Consideration must be given to the weight of the hose reel assembly
Type of wall fire extinguisher is being mounted to
Wall fixings must be suitable for wall type
Correct signage according to AS2444
The surrounding environment (does the fire hose reel need a cabinet or cover?)
Most damage to fire hose reels occurs to the standpipe. Consider the potential for damage before installation. (eg forklifts operating in the area)
