Fire Suppression Grooved Assemblies
Fire Suppression Grooved Assemblies
Overview
A Flexible Hose Assembly designed to accommodate movement in Fire Suppression Racking Systems.
Applications
Flexible Grooved hose assemblies are used in buildings to accommodate movement caused by thermal expansion, structural settlement, vibration, and seismic activity. They provide the flexibility needed to absorb these movements without placing excessive stress on connected pipework, equipment, or joints, reducing the risk of leaks and mechanical failure. In buildings with evolving layouts or changing operational requirements, flexible hose assemblies also allow for easier installation, modification, and maintenance, making them an effective solution where adaptability and long-term reliability are essential.
In large industrial facilities, flexible metallic hose assemblies reduce stress on rigid pipework by allowing controlled movement, helping prevent damage and ensuring the fire suppression system remains operational when required. All flexible hose assemblies are manufactured to order to suit project requirements. Standard overall assembly lengths range from 400mm to 600mm. Double Braided higher pressure version also available upon request.
Purposes
Movement
The Assemblies accomodate any movement that is essentioal in racking systems.
Misalignment
Racking Systems often require the flexible assemblies to allow for any misalignment.
Expansion
Racking Systems are known for thermal expansion and contraction.
Installation
Grooved Assemblies simplify installation, maintenance and inspection.
