High-Quality Breeching Inlet – Fire Safety Equipment for Rising Mains

Description

The Breeching Inlet is a vital fire protection component designed for high-rise buildings, commercial complexes, industrial facilities, and other multi-story structures where quick and reliable water supply is critical during fire emergencies. Installed at the ground or accessible floor level, it enables firefighters to instantly connect hoses and pump pressurized water into the building’s dry riser system, ensuring effective fire suppression on upper levels where water supply is not directly available.

Construction & Design Excellence

• Material Strength: Manufactured from high-grade cast brass or ductile iron body with gunmetal fittings, ensuring exceptional resistance to pressure, heat, and wear.

• Couplings: Equipped with Male Instantaneous BS 336 Couplings, allowing secure and rapid hose connection for fire brigades.

• Non-Return Valve (NRV): Prevents backflow of water, maintaining system integrity and safety during firefighting operations.

• Drain Valve & Air Release Valve: Built-in drain valve ensures safe pressure release and system maintenance, while the air release valve prevents air locking during operation.

• Finish: Corrosion-resistant red epoxy powder coating for long service life in indoor and outdoor environments.

Performance & Compliance

• Standards: Fully compliant with BS 5041 Part-3: 1975 and BS 336:1989, ensuring adherence to global fire safety regulations.

• Pressure Rating: Engineered to withstand working pressures typically up to 12 bar, suitable for high-rise firefighting needs.

• Connections: 2-way and 4-way configurations available depending on building requirements.

• Inlet Size: Standard 100 mm (4”) flanged inlet, drilled to BS 10 or PN 16, customizable on request.

• Compatibility: Designed for seamless integration with landing valves, hydrants, and other dry riser components.
