Standpipe and Hose System - Equipment |

|
Where reels or cabinets are provided to contain fire hoses, the employer
shall assure that they are designed to facilitate prompt use in an emergency. Hose outlets and connections must be located high enough above the floor to avoid being obstructed and to be accessible to employees. Each required hose outlet shall be equipped with hose connected and ready for use. Where a hose may be damaged by extreme cold, it may be kept in a protected location as long as it is readily available to be connected for use. The employer shall assure that the standpipe hose is equipped with shut-off type nozzles. There are two basic nozzle types: straight stream or the more preferable fog (also referred to as variable stream, spray, or combination). The minimum water supply for standpipe and hose systems provided for employee use, shall be sufficient to provide 100 gallons per minute for at least thirty minutes. |
