Stand Pipe

What is a stand pipe?

A standpipe is a type of rigid water piping which is built into multi-story buildings in a vertical position or bridges in a horizontal position, to which fire hoses can be connected, allowing manual application of water to the fire. Within the context of a building or bridge, a standpipe serves the same purpose as a fire hydrant. Standpipe systems are designed to provide fire protection water for hose lines in strategically placed locations inside a building or structure

Jubilee Engineering Ltd is the leading wholesale supplier of fire hydrant systems in Nairobi Kenya. A fire hydrant system is defined as a water supply system with sufficient pressure and flow delivered through pipes throughout a building to strategically located network of valves for fire-fighting purposes. It can also be defined as an active fire fighting connection point by which fire-fighters can tap into a water supply. In a building, a fire hydrant system is a very important safety measure or emergency equipment.

It is one of the oldest but the most effective and common fire fighting solutions in the industry. A well-designed and well placed out hydrant system forms the backbone of an entire fire protection system. It includes heavy duty overhead and underground pipe lines with accessories. External hydrant valves are provided at every strategic location of the building for effective use at the time of a fire. A fire hydrant system is designed to fight off fires of huge size, in all classes of risks. It is designed to be in operation even if a part of the affected structure collapses.
