The water supply to hose reels should normally be kept entirelyindependent from other water supplies within the building includingthose for other fire-fighting systems. In certain special circumstancesthe supply to hose reels may be taken from the supply provided for asprinkler system (see BS EN 12845, BS 5306-2 and the Fire ProtectionAssociation publication LPC rules for automatic sprinkler installations incorporating BS EN 12845[ 1 ]).
When the likely routes for the hose are tortuous,the length andsize of hose on the reel should be limited, and the siting and provisionof reels should be reviewed with these limitations in mind.
Consideration should also be given to the physical attributes of theindividuals who are expected to use the equipment.
It is essential that pressures and flows should at all times beadequate to serve the designed number of hose reels likely to be used.This is irrespective of the source of water supply.BS 5306-1 pdf download.
