Dry falling main sign

The Dry Falling Main Sign is designed to clearly identify a dry falling main forming part of a buildings fire fighting water supply system. Featuring a clear and highly visible Dry Falling Main message, this sign helps firefighters, emergency responders, maintenance engineers and other authorised personnel quickly recognise and locate the relevant fire protection equipment during an emergency, inspection or maintenance procedure.

Suitable for multi storey buildings, buildings with significant levels below fire service access, underground developments, basements, car parks, industrial premises and other locations where dry falling main systems are installed, this sign can be positioned directly above or adjacent to the relevant connection, valve, cabinet or designated equipment location.

A dry falling main uses fixed pipework to assist the movement of fire fighting water through a building where fire service operations may be required at levels below the principal access or connection point. Under normal conditions the system remains dry and is supplied with water when required for fire fighting operations.

Dry falling mains can help reduce the need for firefighters to run long lengths of hose through stairways, corridors or other access routes to lower levels of a building. Providing fixed pipework can support more efficient deployment of fire fighting water to locations where conventional hose arrangements may be difficult or time consuming.

Clearly displayed Dry Falling Main signage is particularly important where the equipment is located among other pipework, valves, cabinets or building services. Prominent identification helps distinguish the fire fighting system from unrelated equipment and can reduce the possibility of confusion during an emergency.

The area surrounding dry falling main equipment should remain clearly visible and readily accessible to firefighters and authorised personnel. Stock, furniture, vehicles, pallets, waste containers and other materials should not be positioned where they could obstruct access to connections, valves or cabinets associated with the system.

The Dry Falling Main Sign can form part of a wider fire service identification system alongside Dry Riser Inlet signs, Dry Riser Outlet signs, Wet Riser signs, Fire Hydrant signs, Sprinkler Inlet signs and other fire fighting equipment signage. Consistent identification of fire protection systems can help support effective emergency response and routine maintenance procedures.

Dry falling mains and their associated valves, connections and components should be appropriately inspected, tested and maintained in accordance with the requirements applicable to the particular installation. Signage should complement rather than replace suitable system maintenance, fire risk management and emergency planning.

Manufactured from durable, high quality materials with excellent print clarity and visibility, the Dry Falling Main Sign provides a professional and long lasting solution for identifying important fire fighting infrastructure. It helps improve fire service equipment identification, support emergency response and ensure dry falling main equipment can be located quickly when required.
