As part of the overall maintenance and repair programme for fire hoses, the keeping of accurate records is essential.
The effort and expense of testing are only justified if the results are traceable to the specific equipment.
Equipment Repair
As well as hydrostatic testing of equipment, FHT also offer a repair and maintenance service for most items of waterway equipment. We stock a wide range of o-rings, seals, springs, replacement handles and other consumables and we have excellent contacts throughout the fire industry to enable us to quickly identify, source and supply most items that could be needed for equipment repairs and maintenance. All equipment items are retested following repair to check pressure retention and functionality.
Amongst other items we can repair:
- Standpipes
- Collecting Heads
- Dividing Breechings
- Controlled Dividing Breechings
- Ground Monitors
- Suction Hoses
- High Pressure Hose Reel Hoses
This repair service combined with our testing and asset marking enable a comprehensive record of the equipment’s life to be built up over time. This information is supplied to the customer following the testing and is also held centrally by us so it is always available for the customer in the event of a query from the HSE.
