Description
The Breeching Inlet 2-Way is a critical fire safety device designed for buildings equipped with dry riser systems, particularly in high-rise structures, commercial complexes, industrial facilities, and public infrastructure. Its primary function is to provide the fire brigade with an immediate and secure access point to pump water into the riser system during emergencies, ensuring a steady water supply reaches firefighting outlets (landing valves) installed on upper floors.
Normally kept dry under standard conditions, the system is quickly charged with water when firefighters connect their hoses to the breeching inlet, enabling efficient suppression of fire outbreaks in hard-to-reach areas.
Construction & Durability
-
Material: Manufactured from high-grade cast brass, providing excellent strength, corrosion resistance, and long service life even under harsh environmental and operational conditions.
-
Couplings: Equipped with two male instantaneous couplings with integrated Non-Return Valves (NRV), ensuring quick, secure, and leak-proof hose connections while preventing backflow.
-
Drain & Testing Valve: Includes a 1″ drain/testing valve for operational checks and maintenance, helping ensure the system remains functional and ready for emergencies.
-
Flange Connection: Features a 4″ flange (150 class with 190 PCD) for robust and standardized installation in line with fire safety engineering requirements.
-
Finish: Coated for added corrosion resistance and long-term performance, even in outdoor or exposed conditions.
Performance & Technical Specifications
-
Working Pressure: 10 Bar (suitable for standard dry riser operations).
-
Test Pressure: 15 Bar (hydrostatically tested for safety and compliance).
-
Standards Compliance: Built to BS 5041 Part-3: 1975 and BS 336:1989 standards, ensuring international compatibility and reliability.
-
Configuration: 2-way design allows dual hose connection for higher water flow when required.
