Fire Reels

Fire reels

Fire reels are an ideal tool for fighting fires at homes. For this reason, they are part of the standard equipment, together with fire extinguishers for the repression of fires in companies, offices, hangars, garages and showrooms.

According to the legal provisions of the Royal Decree of 1994/2006, it is determined in which buildings and in what numbers the fire reels must be present.

The locations of the fire reels, are of great importance. These are also largely determined by the Royal Decree. Fire hydrants must be strategically located to reach any point in the building. To determine this range, you can take into account a water jet of 5 meters long.

It is recommended to place the fire reels as close as possible to the emergency exits in order to protect the emergency exit. For this reason, the fire reel can’t be placed in the emergency stairwell. The hose must be able to be connected to the water distribution network, without preventing the closing of the emergency doors.

Fire valves must comply with NEN-EN671-1. According to this standard, the hose may have a maximum length of 30 meters and the hose must have a minimum passage of 3/4 ".

Fire reels with a 20-meter hose are available in NEN-EN671-1, but have a smaller reach. There are also fire taps where the hose has a minimum passage of 1 ", but they are less flexible and more difficult to use.

You can always contact us to find the ideal fire reels for the spaces you want to protect.
