3/2 reel rubber hose systems

definition 1/2/3

Rubber hose systems are a water network that feeds rubber hoses with a reel, distributed in the building to

be protected, fed from a suitable water source and is considered one of the primary means of combating

fire, and used by building users without the need for prior training.

Systems are types 2/2/3

Systems are divided in terms of pulley movement into two types:

(a) The fixed pulley, see fig . (1-2/3).

See figure (2-2/3) .

(b) a ah a

Water sources The 3/2/3

water source must be appropriate, in accordance with the design conditions and details contained in the

Water Sources Conditions (Part Two - Chapter One).

The quantity of the water source is calculated so that it is sufficient to supply two hoses as a minimum for a period of at least 30 minutes, 3/2/6/1

provided that the quantity is not less than 1900 meters in any case . to

The flow is calculated to give 140 d/L at a pressure as follows: 3/2/6/2

It is allowed to use one pump if it feeds two hoses at most. 3/2/6/8

In light-risk places, at the discretion of the competent authority, it is permissible to connect one hose to a water 3/2/6/9

3/2 reel rubber hose systems

Hoses must be installed within the walls, and in cases where this is not possible architecturally, they are installed 3/2/7/5

on the face of the walls inside boxes with a door of a metal frame and a face of reinforced glass, opening a full

opening at an angle of 180 degrees so as not to be an obstacle to the passages and it is permissible for architectural reasons to be a cover

The door is made of iron

sheets. Hose reels must be installed to rotate counterclockwise with

an arrow for the direction of rotation. 3/2/7/6

A guiding sign shall be fixed on the face of the box on which the phrase (FIRE) is written, and another 3/2/7/7

guiding sign shall be placed on the hose reel or inside the box indicating the operating method

instructions, such as opening the valve, withdrawing the hose, opening the spray gun , etc.

During the network installation works, the parts that are to be installed must be checked first to ensure that 3/2/7/8

there are no leakages from the joints and valves at the highest operating pressure.

The boxes shall be large enough to accommodate and handle the hoses and any other equipment that may be placed 3/2/7/9

within it.

It is preferred that the network pipe extensions be visible and not buried in the concrete or under the 3/2/7/10

tiles. The boxes must be installed properly, so that they are not affected by external weather factors.

3/2/7/11

Ensure that the location of the fireboxes in projects with large areas such as warehouses is free of any 3/2/7/12

obstacles obstructing their view, and if this is not possible, guiding signs and arrows should be installed at a higher level

to denote it.

The pumps must be attached to a tank (air / water) for pumps that feed more than 3 hoses. 3/2/7/13

When feeding rubber hoses from a high-pressure water source, suitable pressure relief valves must be 3/2/7/14

installed , and the appropriate number of isolation valves and filters must be installed on the network in all

cases.

and examination test 8/2/3

The following checks and tests shall be carried out at the end of implementation:

Examine the system components according to their pressures according to the specifications mentioned in 3/2/8/1

Table C ( 5-2/3).

The net must be completely emptied and pressurized with water to clean it of any impurities or sediment. 3/2/8/2

The network pressurizes the water up to 150 % of the operating pressure for two hours to ensure that there is no water 3/2/8/3

Leak .

The nearest hose to the water source is examined, where the hose is fully pulled out, and the spray ejector is opened on that 3/2/8/4

on the farthest hose as well, in order to measure the pressure and flow, and the extent ofposition,
the spraying andejection
and the then propelling
is carried out

so that it is not less than 0.8 . M. It should be ensured that the sprayer is closed well after the end of the examination.

Isolation valves diameter of 25 mm are opened and closed when the hose sprayers are open, then the valves 3/2/8/5

are opened again to ensure their operation.

The pumps shall be checked manually and automatically for performance in terms of pressure and flow. In the 3/2/8/6

case of two pumps, they are checked alternately, by turning on one and cutting off the current from the other, and vice versa.

periodic maintenance 9/2/3

Maintenance work must be carried out in accordance with the principles of the profession, provided that it is not less than the following:

Maintenance weekly 1/9/2/3

Verify the amount of water source. (a) must

Ensure that the hose is wound in the correct manner on the reel and that there is no defect (b) that must be

observed, and that the boxes are free of any other materials.

Ensure that there are no obstacles in front of the hoses that prevent their use. (c) must
