Welcome to PSI Water
The permanent installation of a fire hose in a residential home requires a bit of plumbing knowledge.
The supply line to the hose must be accurately and carefully installed to ensure that it can handle the 100 to 300 psi water of the common fire hose as poorly designed apparatus attachments can break under such pressure.
The supply line also needs to provide adequate psi, and be free from leaks as standing water in the hose can develop bacteria.
Bacteria can lead to the destruction of the integrity of the hose and it can become useless in the event of an emergency.
Fire marshals and other safety inspectors are not convinced that adding fire hoses to individual homes is such a good idea.
While the homeowner may wish to do everything in his or her power to save the family home, even consider a water cooler
Inspectors prefer that the residents of the building stay far enough away from the structure to be safe from falling debris.
A house on fire tends to kick out large articles of debris, can have flames carried off by the wind and dropped several yards from the home, and exude quite a bit of thick, black smoke that can lead to smoke inhalation.
Trying to save one’s own home with a permanently installed fire hose keeps the homeowner close enough to the burning structure that injury or death become much more likely.
Be sure that you have the PSI Water that needed.
