Fire water at the wall — for laypersons (Type S) and the fire brigade (Type F). Planning, installation and pressure testing per DIN 14462. For halls, high-rise and special buildings in North Rhine-Westphalia.
A wall hydrant is a permanently installed fire-water take-off point in the wall — with shut-off valve, formstable hose and nozzle. DIN 14462 distinguishes two basic types: Type F (for the fire brigade) with a C-coupling and no hose in the cabinet, fed from a dry or wet riser — and Type S (for self-help, i.e. laypersons) with a permanently installed formstable hose (typically 30 m) that can be used without instruction. Wall hydrants are mandatory in many building types — high-rise (floor level above 22 m in the top storey), underground garages, industrial halls from certain sizes, assembly venues, schools, hotels. Crucial are correct sizing of the fire-water supply (minimum flow, static pressure, flow pressure), frost protection and regular pressure testing per DIN 1988-600 and the water supplier's requirements. We plan, supply, install and test — manufacturer-independent, with full documentation and direct coordination with building services and the fire brigade.
DIN 14462 distinguishes by user: Type F for the trained fire brigade, Type S for untrained self-help. Which type is required where follows from the fire protection concept.
C-coupling 52 mm for connecting the fire brigade hose. No hose in the cabinet. Fed from a dry or wet riser.
Formstable hose 30 m with nozzle — immediately usable, also for laypersons. Maximum flow loss per curve.
Double wall hydrant with F and S fittings in one cabinet — economical variant for mixed use.
Dry riser with external feed — water only in the event of an emergency. For high-rise and frost-prone areas.
Flush in masonry or drywall, discreet and narrow — for representative areas.
Quickly installable, accessible — typical in industry and warehouse.
Formstable hose on a rotating reel — pulls out easily, does not block.
Wall hydrant and fire extinguisher in one cabinet — saves space and signage.
Permanently water-filled, frost-protected routing — immediately ready for use.
Filled only in the event of use (fire brigade infeed) — in frost risk or long runs.
One point of contact for the entire fire-water infrastructure — planning, installation, handover and annual testing.
Number, position, type, volumetric flow — coordinated with the fire protection concept and the water supplier.
Wet or dry riser, infeed, safeguarding per DIN 1988.
Cabinets, fittings, hoses, nozzles — manufacturer-independent, matched to the object.
Leak and pressure testing per DIN 1988-600, handover protocol.
Annual functional and pressure test, hose exchange, documentation.
Adding to, replacing or converting existing systems — also during operation.
From 22 m top-storey floor level — wall hydrant on every floor at the stairwell landing (Type F or S).
Halls above certain sizes per IndBauR NRW — mostly Type S.
High-bay warehouses and logistics halls — wall hydrants combined with sprinklers.
Per Garage Ordinance — Type F in stairwells and access ramps.
Theatres, event halls — wall hydrants in backstage and ancillary rooms.
Per Accommodation Ordinance — Type S on every floor.
Prices are significantly lower than SHEV or sprinkler systems. Real cost often comes not from the cabinet itself but from the pipework — wall penetrations, risers and infeeds.
Prices are indicative, excl. planning and structural fees and VAT. Binding after site visit.
Pipework and sanitary installation included — no interface to the sanitary trade.
We choose fittings based on object and use, not margin.
DIN 1988-600 testing and leak proof — from a single source.
Annual testing as an ongoing task — bundleable with fire-door and SHEV maintenance.
