It is recommended that a residential home have a miniumum of 5000 litres of water for bushfire protection purposes.
Using the sprinklers intermitantly conserves water for when the fire front arrives.
We recommend a dedicated tank outlet to supply your fire fighting pump and a seperate outlet for the fire services. This will avoid the need to interrupt the water supply to your fire protection system.
Our "Ready to Go" Suction hose sets use UV Resistent PVC hose, poly camlocks and stainless hose clamps. If you would like a custom hose we can help, simply contact us.
The size of your pumps suction port dictates the size of your suction line, therefore if your pumps sucton port is 50mm then your tank outlet, valve, hoses and fittings should be 2 inch BSP or larger.
If the port is 40mm then 1 1/2" BSP, 25mm then 1" BSP.
Watermarked brass tank outlets in 1", 1 1/2" & 2"BSP
Nickel plated brass ball valves in 3/4", 1", 1 1/2", 2"
Storz or camlock
A foot valve allows you to precharge the suction hose, helping to prevent running the pump dry. A strainer will prevent the hose drawing in debris which will damage the pump internals and block sprinkler heads
