Vertical Outlet Cabinet - Architrave & Door Frame

Even with its subtlety, it still features the bright red colour scheme and clear labelling that makes sure the outlet is easy to spot, and its durable construction will keep it ready to go in an emergency. It is made to conform to BS 5041: Part 5.

Remember, you should consult with either your local fire department or a qualified surveyor to confirm appropriate placement of an outlet and thus its cabinet. But even without such consultation, the standard is that an outlet should be present on every floor, typically inside protected stairwells or lobbies. This makes them essential, and so quite popular across most large premises, but notably tall buildings like high-rises and apartment blocks.

Suitable only for internal installation, this cabinet's 30mm wide architrave helps the outlet remain visible without creating any kind of obstruction. A recess should already be present for the cabinet to fit into, making it most appropriate for constructions that are in development. 

If the fire brigade needs to lug a heavy fire hose all the way up the stairs, depending on the size of the building, it can cost valuable time and potentially lead to greater destruction and loss of life. This has made outlets a standard in these kinds of properties, and thus cabinets are popular as they make it easy for the fire brigade to find the outlet and give them confidence that they will find it in good working condition. 

If it’s for a new building, refurbishment work, or even just a replacement following damages or vandalism, this vertical outlet cabinet offers a dependable solution for protecting essential firefighting equipment. When your dry riser outlets are secure, accessible, and clearly identified, the emergency services will have a thankfully easy time finding the equipment they need to keep your property and its occupants safe.
