Fire Hose Service, Maintenance, and Replacement
In Sydney, NSW, Australia, we provide comprehensive services for your fire hose reel systems, ensuring they are always ready for action. Our services adhere strictly to the Australian Standards, particularly AS 2441 and AS 1851, and are tailored to meet the local laws and market demands. Here’s how we ensure the highest standards of safety and efficiency:
Service and Maintenance
Regular servicing of fire hose reels is essential. We conduct thorough inspections and maintenance at least annually, as recommended by Australian Standard AS 1851. This includes checking the reel, hose, nozzle, stop valve functionality, and ensuring that the flow rate and pressure are within specified limits.
Our maintenance program also involves inspecting the system for damages and verifying that the fire hose reel system remains unobstructed and easily accessible.
Safety Testing
To ensure the optimal functioning of fire hose reels, we perform safety testing as per the Australian Standard AS/NZS1221. This includes a six-monthly maintenance check to ensure that the reels perform to the expected standard during an emergency.
Flow Testing
An annual flow test is part of our standard service package, checking that the hose reel provides the required water flow, typically a minimum of 0.33 litres of water per second. This test ensures that the hose reel can reach a four-meter stream under the current water pressure.
Compliance with Local Regulations
In NSW, building owners are required to submit an Annual Fire Safety Statement to their local council and Fire and Rescue NSW. This confirms that all building’s essential fire safety measures, including fire hose reel systems, meet the performance standards listed in the Fire Safety Schedule
We ensure that every fire hose reel is located next to a fire hydrant as mandated, and that the hose reels are situated in accessible locations, ideally along paths of travel to exits.
