What fittings are required for fire hydrant tanks?
Fire service kits are essential for connecting tanks to fire hoses. Fire service kits allow for easy access to tank water and ensure an even and high-pressure flow. The kit is the connection between a tank and a hose, and usually consists of a 100mm fire coupling adaptor, a fire coupling support, a brass gate valve, and a tank fitting. Any kit of this nature must be a Fire and Emergency New Zealand (FENZ) Approved Fire Coupling for compliance, functionality and safety. Promax Fire service kits vary according to how the tanks are set up at a particular property. For example, a standard fire kit will connect to one above ground tank. Meanwhile, if two above ground tanks are interconnected and water is drawn from both tanks at the same time, it is possible to buy a dual fire outlet kit; as two tanks are often required to reach the minimum capacity of 45,000 litres, a dual kit is a popular option.
