Description
A QRT 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 QRT outlet coupling — the standard used by Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES) for fire hydrant installations in Queensland. 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 Queensland buildings with threaded-pipe fire main systems, the HHVQRTBSP provides a BSP Male inlet and QRT outlet coupling. For grooved-pipe systems, use the Roll Groove inlet version (HHVQRTRG). The QRT coupling is specific to QFES operations and must be used in Queensland buildings requiring QFES-compatible fire hydrant outlets.
Key Features
- QRT outlet coupling — standard QFES hose coupling for Queensland hydrant installations
- 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: HHVQRTBSP
- Construction: Brass
- Finish: Signal red

Compliance & Installation
Installed as part of a building fire hydrant system in accordance with AS 2419.1. Must be installed by a licensed fire protection contractor. Ongoing maintenance under AS 1851. Confirm the applicable fire authority coupling standard for the building’s location — QRT coupling is required for Queensland buildings in QFES response areas.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where This Landing Valve Is Used
- Queensland commercial and industrial buildings with BSP threaded-pipe fire main systems
- Multi-storey Queensland buildings with threaded fire main risers requiring QRT outlet coupling
- Replacement of existing BSP Male inlet QRT landing valves in Queensland building fire main upgrades
- New fire hydrant system installations in Queensland with threaded-pipe configuration
What is the QRT coupling and where is it used?
QRT coupling is the fire brigade hose coupling standard specific to Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES). All building fire hydrant systems in Queensland must have QRT-compatible outlet couplings on internal landing valves to allow QFES personnel to connect their attack hoses. The QRT coupling design is unique to Queensland operations and is not interchangeable with the coupling standards used in other states.
Do I need QRT landing valves for a building on the Gold Coast or Sunshine Coast?
Yes — both the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast are in Queensland, within QFES response areas. QRT coupling is required for internal fire hydrant landing valves in all Queensland commercial buildings that require a fire hydrant system. This applies regardless of building location within Queensland.
Can the BSP Male inlet be connected to a Roll Groove pipe system?
Not directly — a BSP Male inlet requires a BSP Female threaded connection on the fire main pipe. If the building’s fire main uses grooved mechanical joints, the Roll Groove inlet version (HHVQRTRG) is the correct product. Using a BSP Male inlet with a grooved pipe system would require an additional adapter fitting, adding a potential leak point. Always specify the landing valve with the inlet type that matches the existing pipe connection at each valve position.
How many landing valve points are required in a Queensland multi-storey building?
The number and placement of landing valves is determined by AS 2419.1 based on building type, floor area and travel distance. QFES may have additional requirements or recommendations that supplement the base standard. A fire engineer or licensed fire protection contractor engaged for the building project will calculate the number of landing valves required at each floor and confirm compliance with both AS 2419.1 and any applicable QFES technical requirements.
Is there a BSP Male QRT landing valve available in a different size?
The standard landing valve inlet size for BSP Male connection is 65mm. This is the industry-standard size for fire main landing valve connections. Larger or smaller inlet sizes would be special products — if your project has a non-standard pipe size at the landing valve connection point, contact us to confirm availability. For most commercial and industrial building fire main systems, the 65mm BSP Male inlet is the correct specification.
