Critical Water Source for Professional Firefighting

The Underwriters Flush Type Fire Hydrant Valve (UFH-65) is a heavy-duty, industrial-grade valve designed for building wet riser and landing valve systems. Installed flush into fire-rated walls or dedicated cabinets on each floor, it provides the standardized connection point for fire brigade hoses to access the building's pressurized water supply. Its robust construction ensures reliability under high pressure during life-critical operations.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Instantaneous Coupling (Storz/Thread): Features a standard 65mm (2.5") instantaneous female coupling (or BSP thread) for quick, secure attachment of fire brigade hoses.
• Flush-Mount Design: Saves space in corridors and maintains aesthetics by being recessed into the wall with only the outlet and operating wheel exposed.
Full-Bore Flow: Engineered with a straight-through waterway to minimize pressure loss and deliver maximum water flow when fully open.
• Durable Brass Construction: Main body, spindle, and wheel are manufactured from high-grade brass for exceptional corrosion resistance and long service life.
• Easy Operation: Large, red hand-wheel allows for quick opening and closing, even with gloved hands.
• Integral Drain Valve: Includes a small drain to empty the branch pipe after use, preventing freezing and corrosion.

Application in Wet Riser Systems:

This valve is a terminal point on the wet riser, a vertical pipe maintained under constant pressure. During a fire, firefighters connect their hose to this valve, open it, and have immediate access to a powerful water stream fed from the building's fire pumps and tanks, saving crucial time compared to connecting to external hydrants.

Technical Specifications:

Installation: Must be installed with a compatible recessed box and appropriate signage as per NFPA 14 or local fire codes.
