Fire hose reels are classified into two types: those with hoses inside cabinets (also known as ‘enclosed’) and those without cabinets (also known as ‘open’). Enclosed reels are typically found indoors, whereas open reels are typically found outdoors.Constructing a Fire Hose Reel
A fire hose reel is made up of the following components: a base, a hose reel, a water inlet pipe, a water outlet pipe, and a hose. It is important to select the appropriate installation point of the fire hose reel in order to make it convenient for users to use at any time when needed. It can be fixed directly on the wall and must be at least 60 cm above the ground.

Fire Hose Reel Materials
Fire hose reels must be made of steel, stainless steel, or cast iron and their ferrous components must be hot-dip galvanized with a diameter of at least 100 mm.

The following is a step-by-step procedure for installing a fire hose reel:
Turn on the fire hydrant and connect it to the water supply line.
Take out the fire hose and secure it to the hose connector.
Turn on the water pressure valve to fill the hose. (If necessary, open the pressure valve before pulling out the hose.)
Next, start fighting the fire with a spray nozzle or fog nozzle, depending on your needs.
Finally, when you have finished using the fire hydrant, close the valve.

To operate the fire hose reel with the cabinet, you take the following steps:
Open the cabinet doors, and take out the fire hose to unroll it;
Unscrew and remove the fire nozzle;
Open the fire hose reel valve and connect the fire nozzle to one end of the fire hose;
Close the valve of the fire hose reel after the connection is confirmed;
Connect another end of the fire hose with a water faucet/tap;
Open the valve of the nozzle by turning it in an anti-clockwise direction, and spray water to extinguish or control fires.
