When we talk about firefighting equipment, fire hose reels and lightweight fire hoses are two common tools. While they are both used to fight fires, they differ in their construction and use. Let's take a deeper look at their features and differences.
First of all, a fire hose reel is a fire extinguishing apparatus consisting of a valve, an input line, a reel, a hose and a spray gun. It is capable of spraying extinguishing agent during the rapid deployment of the hose and is an effective supplement to indoor fire hydrant extinguishing systems. This type of equipment is usually used in places where there is no indoor fire hydrant, places where fires develop rapidly, places with a large number of users, and other places where the control and suppression of incipient fires need to be strengthened.
Lightweight fire hose, on the other hand, is a small, lightweight sprinkler apparatus, consisting of a special interface, water hose and spray gun. It can be used in the water or fire water supply lines, mostly used in residential buildings within the house. In recent years, lightweight fire hose and fire hose reel in the application of the distinction is not very large, the new version of the fire code regulations, their applications are basically the same place.
In terms of configuration, fire hose reels are usually drawn from the fire hose network, while lightweight fire hoses can draw water from the tap or from the fire hose network. In the installation mode, the fire hose reel can be installed independently, can also be installed in the fire hydrant box, as a fire hose water hose supplement. The installation of lightweight fire hose is more casual, mostly installed independently, can also be installed in the indoor fire hydrant supporting.
In addition, the fire hose reel should be configured with an internal diameter of not less than ф19 fire hose, the length of which should be 30.0 m; light hose should be configured with a nominal diameter of 25 lined fire hose, the length of which should be 30.0 m. Both should be configured with an equivalent nozzle diameter of 6mm of the fire hose.
In the scope of setting, according to the building's fire resistance class, the number of combustible materials, building volume and other factors, some buildings or places can not set up indoor fire hydrant system, but it is appropriate to set up the fire hose reel or lightweight fire hose. For example, the fire resistance level of one or two and less combustible single, multi-storey D, E class plant (warehouse), as well as high-rise residential buildings, such as indoor.
Overall, fire hose reels and lightweight fire hoses are both important firefighting equipment, and they play a key role in different places and situations. Understanding their features and differences will help us to better select and use these equipment so that we can respond more effectively to emergencies such as fires.
