Pipes and hoses
The fire hose is perhaps the most important piece of equipment carried on a fire
appliance. It is the fire fighters’ lifeline. If it fails, their lives could be in danger.
That is why it is so important to use the best equipment available.
ESI’s comprehensive range of fire fighting fittings include instantaneous delivery hose couplings;
branch pipes and nozzles, blank caps and plugs, adaptors, collecting heads and manifolds,
standpipes and hydrant keys, suction hose couplings and wrenches, and suction strainers.
Foam Systems
Increasingly, fixed foam systems are being used at high fire risk
facilities because they take the guesswork out of fire fighting. There
is no better way of fighting a fire than having a properly designed
foam fire fighting system in place before fire breaks out. Fire fighting
monitors are used to apply water, foam or dual agents wherever there
are large quantities of flammable or combustible liquids in the vicinity.
Storage and process areas in the oil and petrochemical sectors are the
most common applications. In the world of transport they are found
on shipping and loading jetties, airport crash tenders, aircraft hangars
and helicopter landing areas. Industrial applications are available in a
huge choice of designs, sizes, materials and nozzle configurations.
