Fire Suppression / DetectionMedium

A standardized fire‑hose connection that allows a ship to be linked to shore‑based fire pumps; defined by SOLAS with a 178 mm flange and four bolting points. As an International Shore Connection, it is normally installed at the protected space, fire station or distributed fire-main system according to the listed extinguishing method. In that role, its primary purpose is to detect, control or extinguish fire using the approved portable or fixed firefighting arrangement. Portable extinguishers, water mist, CO2, foam, clean-agent and hose systems have different media and hazards, so operation and testing must follow the vessel fire plan. Capacity: fire main connection. For exact ratings, dimensions, settings, capacities, materials and variant-specific limits, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.

For marine equipment hardly any maker or authorised dealer will name a price while the vessel is unknown. With the vessel details, availability and price can be settled faster; without them we may have to ask first, which costs a few days. If you are not allowed to name the vessel, a photo of the rating plate is enough — attach it below or send it as a reply to our confirmation e-mail.
