For storage of fire equipment, metal cabinets are used. They are equipped with hinged doors with a lock or latches. Fire cabinets are protected against corrosion and high temperatures with epoxy-polyester or structured paint. The color palette is limited to red and white. Holes are made in the walls of the fire cabinet, they provide the ability to connect to the water supply system. Today there are several manufacturers of fire cabinets on the Russian market. To choose the right model, experts recommend paying attention to the following points.
Placement location. There are several installation options.
- Traditionally, fire cabinets are hinged. On the one hand, the storage location of the hydrant is visible from afar, but the protruding part can pose a danger to workers fleeing the fire.
- Built-in wardrobes look organic in modern finishes. But in order to embed fire fighting equipment into the wall, it is necessary to make a niche with suitable dimensions.
- Attached fire cabinets are highly mobile. They do not require special installation; if necessary, it will not be difficult to rearrange the equipment to another room.
Material. The main material for the manufacture of fire cabinets is sheet steel. Its thickness must be higher than 1 mm. Thanks to special processing, manufacturers make the frame and doors resistant to high temperatures and mechanical stress.
Dimensions. The size of the cabinet depends on the size of the equipment that will be stored in it. For a hydrant, standard sizes are recommended: width 54 cm, depth 23-30 cm, height 65 cm (wall) or 130 cm (floor).
Doors. Models can be equipped with both solid metal doors, and combined with a transparent viewing window. Doors must open 160 degrees, no obstacles are allowed to swing open.
Lock. To prevent spontaneous opening of doors, locks are inserted into them. The traditional mechanical models were replaced by automatic designs. They open on their own as soon as the temperature reaches 60-80 ° C. Usually a key is stored next to the cabinet; it is enough to break the glass to remove it from the niche.
