NEW FIRE HOSE CABINET FOR COMMERCIAL MARINE MARKET

Available from March 2019, the SOS300 fire hose cabinet just launched by UK company Jo Bird can house up to a 25 metre long fire hose together with a jet spray nozzle.

Jo Bird claims that the modern design of the injection moulded cabinet means the SOS300 provides better functionality, UV resistance, weather sealing, longevity and aesthetics. Life time costs are lower because the cabinet is made from corrosion resistant material, including all components, giving improved product life span. Excellent weather protection is also provided by the high quality push fit EPDM seal and the use of UV resistant ASA which means it will only degrade very slowly under strong UV light.

Jo Bird has thought about every aspect of the design of the SOS300 including the provision of a quick release bungee cord with a hook for swift access to the fire hose, saving vital seconds. The fire hose is protected from abrasion by the internal fixings and these are vibration resistant so that the catch and hinge remain firmly attached. There are either left or right hinged door openings so the SOS300 can be fitted in restricted spaces and the rotary door handle can be fitted with an anti-tamper seal.

There is a simple fixing arrangement with reinforced areas on the inside for bolting to bulkheads or hand rails and the fire hose cabinet has been designed to cope with a temperature range of -20C to +50C.

Jo Bird is offering a three year guarantee against manufacturing defects.
