Where are fire hose systems typically required?

Fire hose systems are typically required in high-rise buildings, industrial facilities, parking garages, exit stairwells, and areas where automatic systems may not provide complete coverage.

What types of hose systems are available?

The main types include Class I (for firefighter use), Class II (for occupant use), and Class III (combination). Each class has different pressure, flow, and hose size requirements.

How are hose systems tested?

Hose systems are tested annually by checking water pressure, flow rates, hose condition, and valve operation. Hydrostatic testing of hoses is also performed periodically.

What maintenance do hoses require?

Hoses require visual inspection monthly, pressure testing annually, and replacement when showing signs of deterioration. Cabinets and reels also require regular maintenance.

Can building occupants use these systems?

Class II systems are designed for trained occupant use, while Class I systems are primarily for firefighters. Proper training is required for safe and effective use of any hose system.
