Fire Hydrants & Hose Reels

Melbourne

Supply, installation, repairs and maintenance of fire hydrants, hose reels and fire cannons for industrial and commercial sites. Reliable fire water when it is needed.

Fire Hydrant, Hose Reel and Fire Cannon Services

Fire hydrants, hose reels and fire cannons only matter on the worst day a site will ever have. When that day comes they need to deliver water at the right pressure and flow, straight away. Corroded valves, leaking hoses and damaged pipework are common on industrial sites and often go unnoticed until testing or an emergency.

SWR Plumbing supplies, installs, repairs and maintains fire hydrant systems, hose reels and fire cannons for industrial and commercial properties in Melbourne. We work on recycling facilities, warehouses and factories where fire risk is high and fire water supply is critical.

Fire Services We Provide

  • Fire hydrants: installation, relocation, valve replacement and repairs to above and below ground hydrant systems.
  • Fire hose reels: supply and installation of new hose reels, replacement hoses, nozzles and valves.
  • Fire cannons and monitors: supply and installation of fire cannons for high risk areas such as recycling stockpiles and outdoor storage.
  • Fire water mains: repairs, extensions and replacement of fire service pipework.
  • Isolation and test points: new isolation valves and test points to make maintenance easier.
  • Backflow prevention on fire services: inspection and maintenance of devices protecting the water supply.

Compliance and Maintenance

Fire hydrant systems in Australia are designed and installed to AS 2419.1, and routine service of fire protection systems follows AS 1851. Building owners and occupiers have obligations to keep these systems maintained, and insurers and auditors will ask for records.

We work with your fire services contractor or maintenance team to carry out the repairs and upgrades identified during testing, and we can include hydrant and hose reel checks in your plant maintenance program.

Because fire water isolations reduce protection on site, we plan them carefully with your team, keep the isolation as short as possible and restore and test the system before we leave.

  • Quality equipment: durable hydrant valves, hose reels and fire cannons suited to harsh environments.

Hydrant systems are designed and installed to AS 2419.1, and routine service follows AS 1851. We work to the relevant standards and your site’s fire engineering requirements.
