Fire Hose Reels (Automatic / Manual) — TS EN 671-1
Wall-mounted fire hose reels provide instant access to pressurized water for first response. TS EN 671-1 compliant semi-rigid hose sets are available in 20 m and 30 m lengths and 25 mm and 33 mm diameters. Below you’ll find a quick selection guide, technical tables, and maintenance recommendations.
Which Type Fits Your Use?
Projects typically prefer two main types: Automatic (spring rewind) and Manual reels. Quick comparison below:
| Type | Application | Advantages | Considerations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Automatic | Offices, malls, educational buildings | Fast deployment, controlled rewind | Spring mechanism requires periodic checks |
| Manual | Warehouses, production, car parks | Simpler mechanism, lower maintenance | Rewind/pull depends on the user |
25 mm diameter offers flexibility and lower weight indoors, while 33 mm is preferred where higher flow is required.
Selection Guide: The Right Reel for Your Area
Proper hose diameter/length depends on water supply and reach distances. Recommended combinations:
| Environment / Scenario | Recommended Type | Hose | Note |
