 Blackhawk Standpipe Hose Connections

Viking Fire Department Connections

 Standpipe systems are designed and engineered to allow firefighters easy access to fire hose connections and fire department connections installed on every story and floor of a building or to isolated buildings, structures or facilities. Standpipe hose connections play a vital role in protecting against fires. Standpipe hose connections may allow building occupants, emergency personnel or firefighters access to fire hoses or fire department connections to directly attempt to extinguish, contain or suppress a fire.

 Valves will easily open all fire hose and fire department connections plumbed in that zone to supply a pressurized volume of water to all fire hose and fire department connections including installed fire sprinkler systems in that zone. This assists the Blackhawk fire department as an auxillary or supplemental supply of water to fight the fire. A Viking Manufactured Fire Department Connection (FDC Outlet) is shown to the right as an example.

 Standpipe fire department hose connections (FDC) need to be specifically designed an installed according to Blackhawk safety, building and fire codes rules and regulations. Avoid placing walls, seperations or blocking the FDC outlets from allowing firefighters, emergency personnel or building occupants easy access to FDC outlets.
