Fire Hose Cabinet

As SF Fire & Ventilation Systems, our fire hose cabinet systems are part of fixed-pipe water-based fire suppression systems. They are designed to enable building occupants to respond quickly to and extinguish small incipient fires before they develop further.

Fire hose cabinets can be installed either on walls or inside recessed enclosures, depending on architectural and project requirements.

Mandatory Application Areas

Fire hose cabinet systems are required in the following building types:

• High-rise buildings
• Industrial facilities, workshops, and warehouses with a total enclosed area over 1000 m²
• Accommodation, healthcare, assembly, and educational buildings
• Indoor parking areas larger than 600 m²
• Boiler rooms with a thermal capacity exceeding 350 kW

Installation Requirements

Fire hose cabinets must be:

• Installed on every floor and in each fire-separated compartment
• Positioned so that the distance between cabinets does not exceed 30 meters
• Located near escape routes, corridor exits, and stairwell landings whenever possible

In buildings equipped with sprinkler systems and fire department connection points:

• Cabinets may be supplied from wet sprinkler branch lines
• Maximum spacing may be increased up to 45 meters
