Garden Hose, 5-ply 3/4 inch diameter x 50 feet, brass fittings

Garden hoses should be flexible and non-kinkable (is that a word?). We like this PVC reinforced hose and order them by the truck load to save you money.  Use 50-foot sections to charge your fire sprinklers from your emergency pump using a 1-1/2 inch fire hose to garden hose adapter. If the distance is over 50-feet, consider using a fire hose and branch off the end to power up to 15 fire sprinklers at a time! To connect between fire sprinklers, we recommend spacing them 25-feet apart to provide nearly double coverage.  Our 25-foot hoses do the trick.

A typical fire sprinkler strategy includes placing our Tripod sprinklers 25-feet apart, located at the fire perimeter about 10-20-feet from the structure.  Connect up to 2 sprinklers using a wye fitting from your pump or fire hose to maximize pressure and water volume.  If you need to connect several hoses at your fire pump location, check out our 6-hose connector which offers full volume and no pressure loss at the pump.  Don't think you can connect several sprinklers to one long hose--it just will not work.

Each fire sprinkler will drench up to a 45-feet radius (90-feet circle).

Think of each fire sprinkler using 6 gallons per minute, each hose delivers 12 gallons per minute.
