Fire Hose Reel Complete 25mm x 30m

Description

A complete 25mm × 30m wall-mounted fire hose reel — supplied with all components for installation. The 25mm bore delivers higher water flow than a standard 19mm hose reel, making it the correct specification for commercial buildings with high water pressure systems, larger industrial facilities, or fire safety plans that specify a 25mm system. Includes the 25mm × 30m fire hose, ball valve with nozzle locking device, hose guide, union, and wall bracket. AS 2441 compliant.

The 25mm bore is a common specification for commercial premises, industrial warehouses, manufacturing plants, and larger multi-storey buildings where the fire safety engineer has called up a 25mm system. If your building’s fire safety plan specifies 19mm, that is the standard commercial choice — if it specifies 25mm or if you’re replacing an existing 25mm installation, this is the correct product.

Compliance & Servicing

Fire hose reels must be installed in accordance with AS 2441 by a qualified fire protection installer and licensed plumber. The installation must comply with AS/NZS 1221 and be included in the building’s fire safety plan. Under AS 2441, every part of the floor area must be reachable by the hose nozzle. Ongoing maintenance under AS 1851 requires 6-monthly inspection and annual full service by a licensed fire protection technician. Keep service records on the maintenance tag attached to the reel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where 25mm Hose Reels Are Specified

• Industrial warehouses and manufacturing facilities with high-value plant or stock
• Commercial buildings where the fire safety plan specifies 25mm
• Multi-storey commercial buildings with high-pressure water supplies
• Plant rooms, loading docks, and large open-plan commercial spaces
• Replacement of existing 25mm system installations

19mm vs 25mm — Which Do You Need?

• 19mm × 36m — standard commercial specification; suits the majority of office, retail, and light industrial buildings; longer hose; lower flow rate
• 25mm × 30m (this product) — higher flow rate; for heavy industrial use or where the fire safety plan specifies 25mm; shorter hose but higher delivery; replaces existing 25mm installations
• Check your fire safety plan — the specified hose diameter is in your building’s fire safety documentation; if in doubt, ask your fire protection installer

What is the difference between 19mm and 25mm fire hose reels?

The bore (internal diameter) of the hose determines the maximum water flow rate. A 25mm hose delivers significantly more water per minute than a 19mm hose at the same water pressure — this is why 25mm is specified for heavier industrial applications where a greater volume of water is needed to control larger fires. The trade-off is that the 25mm reel has a shorter hose (30m vs 36m) because the larger diameter hose is heavier and bulkier. Most commercial buildings (offices, retail, light industrial) are specified with 19mm. If your building’s fire safety plan or NCC compliance schedule specifies 25mm, you must use 25mm.

Does this include everything needed for installation?

Yes — this is a complete kit including the 25mm × 30m fire hose, ball valve with nozzle locking device, hose guide, union, and wall bracket. You will need a licensed plumber or fire protection installer to connect it to the building water supply and commission the installation to AS 2441. The installation must be included in the building’s fire safety plan.

Is 30m enough coverage for a large warehouse?

Coverage depends on the actual travel path the hose takes — around racking, machinery, and obstacles — not straight-line distance. For large warehouses or industrial facilities, a single 25mm × 30m reel may require companion reels at additional positions to achieve full coverage under AS 2441. Your fire protection installer will assess the floor area and advise on reel positioning and quantity as part of the compliance installation.

Can I replace a 25mm reel myself?

The physical mounting can be done by a competent person, but the water supply connection must be performed by a licensed plumber and the final commissioning (flow test, pressure check) must be done by a licensed fire protection technician. The completed installation must comply with AS/NZS 1221 and be recorded in the building’s fire safety plan. Disconnecting and reconnecting to building water supply without a plumber’s licence is not permitted.

Does this reel need a cabinet?

Not required in most standard indoor commercial installations — AS 2441 does not mandate a cabinet for wall-mounted reels in ordinary commercial environments. A cover or reel housing may be specified for outdoor, coastal, or exposed locations where weather protection is required. Check your fire safety plan and local requirements. For outdoor or harsh-environment installations, see the hose reel cabinet range.
