Premium Fire Hose Box – Your First Line of Defense

Overview

More than just a storage unit, our Premium Fire Hose Box is a critical component of any building's comprehensive fire safety infrastructure. Engineered for durability, accessibility, and strict compliance with safety regulations, it ensures that essential fire suppression equipment – including fire hoses, nozzles, and valves – is protected, readily available, and in optimal condition for rapid deployment during emergencies. Invest in peace of mind with a fire hose box designed to meet the highest standards of safety and reliability.

Key Features

• Robust Construction:
  • Heavy-Gauge Steel or Stainless Steel: Available in powder-coated steel (for exceptional durability and corrosion resistance) or premium stainless steel (for superior aesthetics and extreme environments, e.g., marine or caustic areas).
  • Seamless Welding: Ensures a strong, rigid, and long-lasting enclosure capable of withstanding harsh conditions and daily wear.
  • Corrosion-Resistant Finish: Steel models feature an electrostatic powder-coat finish, typically in high-visibility red, that resists rust, chipping, and fading. Stainless steel models offer a brushed or polished finish for ultimate resilience.
• Optimal Protection:
  • Secure Enclosure: Protects fire hoses and equipment from dust, dirt, moisture, UV radiation, tampering, and accidental damage.
  • Weather-Resistant Seal: Many models include rubber gasketing around the door to prevent ingress of water and environmental elements, keeping the hose dry and ready.
• Rapid Accessibility:
  • Quick-Release Latching: Equipped with robust, easy-to-operate latches (e.g., handle, pull-lever) designed for swift opening without special tools during an emergency.
  • Break-Glass Option: Available with a secure "break glass" panel for immediate access to the hose and nozzle, often accompanied by a small hammer.
  • Clear Labeling: Prominently displays "FIRE HOSE" or relevant fire safety symbols for immediate identification.
• Versatile Mounting Options:
  • Surface Mounted: Designed to be installed directly onto a wall, ideal for existing structures or areas where recessing is not feasible.
  • Semi-Recessed: Partially integrated into the wall, offering a sleek profile while maintaining easy installation.
  • Fully Recessed: Flush-mounted into the wall, providing the most aesthetically integrated solution for modern architectural designs.
• Configurable Door Options:
  • Solid Door: Provides maximum protection and a clean, unobtrusive look.
  • Full Glass/Acrylic Door: Allows for visual inspection of the hose and equipment without opening the box.
  • Half Glass/Acrylic Door: Combines visibility with a solid lower panel for added durability.
• Ample Capacity: Designed to accommodate standard fire hose lengths (e.g., 50ft, 75ft, 100ft) and diameters (e.g., 1.5-inch, 2.5-inch), along with associated nozzles, rack nipples, and valves.
• Compliance: Engineered and manufactured to meet or exceed relevant industry standards and local fire codes, including NFPA guidelines (e.g., NFPA 14 for standpipe and hose systems).

• Powder-Coated Steel:
  • Material: Commercial-grade cold-rolled steel.
  • Finish: Electrostatic powder coat, typically UL Red. Custom colors available upon request.
