Fire Hose Reels & Spare Parts

Essential as part of fire protection systems, our collection of Fire Hose Reels & Spares supports professionals faced with emergencies. These tools provide rapid access to water for first response and fire suppression in buildings of all sizes. A well-maintained fire hose reel enables trained users to pull out hose lines swiftly. They also open gate valves, direct the water flow through nozzles, and tackle incipient fires before they spread. 

Choosing high-quality hose reel equipment and durable spare parts ensures that safety measures stay effective. This is especially useful under emergency pressure. Fires can spread within seconds, and it's the duty of fire safety professionals to perform faster.

Hose reel systems deliver a continuous water supply from fixed plumbing within premises. The semi-rigid hoses used on reels must meet British Standard BS EN 671-1. This standard sets out construction, performance, and installation requirements for hose reels with semi-rigid hose. The hose itself typically conforms to EN 694 or equivalent, ensuring resistance to pressure, kinking, and wear. 

Spares, such as gate valves, nozzles, couplings, and hose connectors, all play an important role in system integrity. All these components must meet relevant standards to maintain safe and compliant operation. 

Regular fire hose reel maintenance is not optional. Under UK fire safety legislation, it's a legal obligation, including as part of good building fire safety practice. Hose reel testing procedures to BS EN 671-3 involve checking for leaks, verifying hose reel flow rates and water pressure, and more. 

Without maintenance, hose reel parts suffer deterioration, which can lead to failure when response time is critical. A jammed fire hose, seized fire nozzle, or lack of connection to water systems impacts safety.

Which Equipment Best Suits My Needs?

Building layouts, hose length, diameter, and placement all influence fire safety performance. During fire risk assessment, it’s important to factor in fire hose length, reel placement, routes, obstacles, and more.  

Hose reels positioned such that users can back away from the source of fire improve safety and usability. Our range includes manual, swinging, and automatic options to suit safety preferences or needs.

• Manual – Requires manual opening of the valve to initiate water flow.
• Swinging – Swivels towards the direction of travel when the hose is deployed from the reel.
• Automatic – Conveniently closes the valve when you wind the hose back on the reel.

Choosing fire hose spare parts allows for swift replacements, such as matching nozzles or swivel joints. This ensures that safety equipment is ready for action in times of emergency.

The spares component of the category is just as important as the hose reel itself. A damaged nozzle, a leaky coupling, or a faulty gate valve can severely limit the effectiveness or use of reels. Hose reel replacement spares extend the life of existing installations and protect investment by avoiding full unit replacement. Having options in hose reel accessories means systems remain in top condition, compliant and reliable.

Whether you are a facilities manager, fire safety officer, or building owner, safety is a top priority. Investing in quality hose reels and spares ensures complete protection when the fires strike. Fire brigades and emergency responders depend on fire hose reel systems to contain fires swiftly. 

When hose reel parts remain in good working order, users can rely on their performance during a fire emergency. This equipment effectively contains damage, helps protect lives, and reduces the escalation of fire.
