Fire Department Inlet Connection
A fire department inlet connection is installed on the building facade or a boundary wall and lets a fire engine pump water into the sprinkler or fire riser line inside. Each inlet has a check valve to prevent backflow and a capped quick coupling.
It is used when the fire tank or pump is insufficient, or as the only water source in buildings with dry risers. The number of inlets, coupling size and body type (wall or pillar) are set by the local fire brigade specification.
Main Applications
- External supply to sprinkler systems
- Water inlet for dry riser buildings
- Backup when the fire tank is insufficient
- Car park and mall facade connections
