Vertical Outlet Cabinet - Surface-Mounted

Conforming to BS 5041: Part 5, the cabinet boasts a durable Zintec Steel and Georgian wire glass construction, a distinct red colouring, and a clear label, all helping to keep the outlet secure and easy-to-spot in an emergency.

Surface-mounted outlet cabinets are popular in tall buildings and large premises and are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Dry riser outlets should be installed on every floor of the building in a stairwell or lobby. Keeping these outlets in a secure cabinet means they will be protected from potential damage and highly visible to firefighters in emergency situations. This means they can rely on your building to provide quick access to the water supply and will be confident that the outlet is in good working conditions when they find it.

Dry riser outlets connect to an inlet somewhere outside the building that the fire brigade will connect to as soon as they arrive. This gives them a direct source of pressurised water wherever an outlet is, meaning they won’t have to face the trouble of carrying heavy hosing all the way up to the floor they need to be on. This lets them use either a lighter and shorter reel of their own, or one that you have available in your building.

Being surface-mounted means you’ll have to put some care into installation, so as not to disrupt or obstruct essential escape routes. But, if you need to outfit your building with some new vertical outlet cabinets or need to replace any damaged ones, then Vigil can provide you with a solution that will make sure your outlets are secure and easy-to-spot for emergency services when it matters most.
