2 Way Breeching Inlet Valve

A 2-way breeching inlet valve is an essential component in fire protection systems, primarily used for providing water to the fire suppression system, such as a sprinkler system or fire hose reel, from an external source like a fire hydrant or water tank. The valve allows fire services to connect their equipment (such as fire engines or pumps) to the building’s fire protection system for efficient and rapid water supply during firefighting operations.

Typically made from durable materials like brass or stainless steel, the 2-way breeching inlet valve consists of two inlets—each capable of receiving water from a different source—along with a single outlet that connects to the fire protection system. The valve can be operated manually or automatically to control the flow of water, ensuring it meets the demands of the firefighting operation. In the event of a fire, this system allows fire professionals to quickly establish a reliable water source, ensuring that water pressure and flow are sufficient for effective firefighting.

This valve is often housed in a weatherproof, accessible cabinet outside the building, with clearly marked labels for easy identification by fire service personnel. The two inlets are designed to accommodate a variety of hoses and connections, ensuring that they can be used with different fire-fighting apparatus
