CFA Hydrant Landing Valve BSP Male Inlet

Description

A CFA hydrant landing valve in brass, signal red finish, with BSP Male inlet. The valve connects a building’s fire main to the fire brigade attack hose via a CFA outlet coupling — the standard used by the Country Fire Authority (CFA) for fire hydrant installations in CFA response areas across Victoria. The 65mm BSP Male inlet screws into a BSP Female socket on the building’s threaded-pipe fire main. Includes a plastic blanking cap.

For Victoria’s outer metropolitan and regional buildings with threaded-pipe fire mains, the HHVCFABSP provides a BSP Male inlet and CFA outlet coupling. Select this version for BSP threaded-pipe installations; use the Roll Groove version (HHVCFARG) for grooved pipe systems.

Key Features

• CFA outlet coupling — standard Country Fire Authority hose coupling for Victoria’s CFA areas
• 65mm BSP Male inlet — connects to BSP Female socket in threaded fire main pipe
• Brass construction, signal red finish
• Plastic blanking cap included

Technical Specifications

• SKU: HHVCFABSP
• Construction: Brass
• Finish: Signal red
• Inlet connection: 65mm BSP Male
• Outlet connection: CFA
• Includes: Plastic blanking cap

Compliance & Installation

Installed in accordance with AS 2419.1 by a licensed fire protection contractor. Ongoing maintenance under AS 1851. Confirm the responding fire authority (CFA vs FRV) for the building’s location before ordering — CFA coupling is required in CFA response areas; MFB coupling is required in the FRV metropolitan area.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where This Landing Valve Is Used

• Commercial and industrial buildings in CFA response areas of Victoria with threaded-pipe fire mains
• Regional Victorian buildings with BSP threaded fire main risers requiring CFA outlet coupling
• Outer metropolitan Melbourne buildings in the CFA response zone with threaded-pipe systems
• Replacement of existing BSP Male inlet CFA landing valves in Victorian building fire main upgrades

What is the difference between the CFA BSP Male and the CFA Roll Groove landing valve?

The outlet coupling (CFA) is the same on both. The difference is the inlet connection type: BSP Male (HHVCFABSP) for threaded pipe, Roll Groove (HHVCFARG) for grooved pipe. Choose the type that matches the existing fire main pipe connection at the installation point. If you are unsure, the fire protection contractor installing the system will specify the correct inlet type based on the building’s pipe system.

Why does CFA coupling cost more than some other state couplings?

Landing valve pricing varies by outlet coupling type due to differences in coupling geometry, production volumes and manufacturing complexity. The CFA outlet coupling involves a more complex machining profile than some other state couplings, which is reflected in the unit price. The coupling specification is determined by the fire authority requirement — it cannot be substituted for a lower-cost coupling standard.

Can a CFA-rated valve be used in both CFA and MFB areas of a large campus?

No — a campus that spans the CFA/FRV boundary must have the correct coupling type in each area of the building, matched to the responding fire authority. Fire brigade attack hose fittings do not span coupling standards — CFA hose will not connect to an MFB-outlet valve, and vice versa. In a large campus with mixed response, the fire engineering design will specify the correct valve type for each location. Do not use CFA valves in areas where MFB (FRV) response applies, or vice versa.

Does the CFA have any additional certification requirements for landing valves?

The CFA specification for fire hydrant systems is based on AS 2419.1 and the CFA’s own technical requirements, which may include specific coupling, pressure and installation standards beyond the base standard. Your fire protection engineer or contractor will be familiar with the current CFA technical requirements applicable to the building. Flamestop landing valves are designed to meet Australian fire hydrant system standards; confirm specific CFA compliance requirements with your fire protection designer.

Are CFA landing valves available in stainless steel for food processing or chemical environments?

The standard Flamestop CFA landing valve is brass construction. Stainless steel variants may be available as a special order for environments requiring additional corrosion resistance (food processing, chemical plants, coastal industrial facilities). Contact us for availability of stainless steel landing valves in CFA specification if this is a requirement for your project.
