Frequently asked questions

What does this sign instruct people to do?

It tells anyone using a fire hose reel to open the valve first, before they run the hose out, so the sequence at the point of use is clear without any training.

What sizes does it come in?

100mm x 100mm for a compact fixing next to a hose reel cabinet, or 200mm x 200mm where the sign needs to be read from further away.

Do I need to add any wording to the sign?

No. The Open valve before running out hose instruction is pre-printed on the panel, so it's ready to fix as soon as it arrives.

Which material should I use outdoors?

Foam PVC, vinyl composite and self-adhesive vinyl are all suitable for exterior fixing; rigid PVC and the photoluminescent option are best used indoors or under cover.

How is the sign fixed to a wall or post?

Self-adhesive vinyl sticks directly to a flat surface. The other materials come with drill holes, and the 200mm vinyl composite is also available with a horizontal or vertical channel for fixing to posts, barriers or gates.

What's the benefit of the photoluminescent option?

It absorbs ambient light through the day and glows if the power fails, so the instruction stays visible without any wiring.

Is a sign like this required by law?

Clear instruction signage at fire hose reel points is standard fire safety practice; check your fire risk assessment for what's specified on your site.
