Wet riser sign

The Wet Riser Sign is designed to clearly identify wet rising main equipment and associated fire fighting facilities within a building. Featuring a clear and highly visible Wet Riser message, this sign helps firefighters, building management, maintenance personnel and other authorised users quickly recognise and locate essential wet riser equipment during an emergency, inspection or maintenance procedure.

Suitable for high rise buildings, apartment blocks, offices, hotels, hospitals, shopping centres, commercial developments, multi storey buildings and other premises fitted with wet rising mains, this sign can be positioned at appropriate wet riser locations, including cabinets, valves, outlets and other designated access points.

A wet riser is a permanently charged fire fighting water system designed to provide a readily available supply of water at different levels within a building. Unlike a dry rising main, which normally requires the fire and rescue service to supply water into the system, a wet riser is maintained full of water and supplied from a dedicated water source.

Wet rising mains are particularly important in taller buildings where delivering water from ground level using conventional fire service hoses could be difficult, time consuming or impractical. The system provides firefighters with access to a water supply at appropriate locations throughout the building, allowing fire fighting operations to begin closer to the affected floor.

Clearly displayed Wet Riser signage helps prevent confusion between different building services and enables relevant equipment to be identified quickly. This can be especially important during an emergency when firefighters need to locate fire fighting facilities without unnecessary delay.

The Wet Riser Sign can form part of a wider fire safety identification system alongside dry riser signs, fire fighting shaft signs, fire extinguisher signs, fire hose signs, fire alarm call point signs and other fire service information. Appropriate signage should be positioned so that important equipment and access points remain readily identifiable.

Wet riser equipment should remain accessible and free from obstruction. Cabinets, valves and outlets should not be blocked by furniture, stock, waste or other materials, and the system should be inspected, tested and maintained in accordance with the applicable fire safety arrangements and maintenance requirements for the building.

The Wet Riser Sign can assist building owners, landlords, facilities managers and responsible persons in clearly identifying wet rising main equipment and supporting effective fire safety and emergency response arrangements.

Manufactured from durable, high quality materials with excellent print clarity and visibility, the Wet Riser Sign provides a professional and long lasting solution for identifying wet riser installations. It helps improve fire fighting equipment identification, support emergency response and ensure essential wet rising main facilities can be located quickly when required.
