PROTECTION, ENGINEERED AS ONE.PRACTICAL EQUIPMENT GUIDE
Know the role.
Then specify the component.
Choose one of six fire-protection groups. Each view explains the equipment chain, the facts an engineer needs from the site and the decisions that shape selection—without turning the guide into a product catalogue.

01Hydrant network equipment
The outlet is only one part of the response. Pipework, valves, hose assemblies and access points must work with the available water supply and the building layout.
Use this group to understand how water reaches a trained responder at the point where it is needed.COMPONENT GUIDE
Three equipment groups to understand
Open a group for its role, typical application and the decisions that affect specification.
Landing valvesProvide a controlled connection for a firefighting hose.
Where it fits
Accessible hydrant outlets and building risers for trained responders.
Understand the complete systemWhat determines the specification
- Required flow and residual pressure
- Hose connection compatibility
- Accessible installation and pressure rating
Make, model, ratings and approvals are confirmed against the project. This is a selection guide, not a manufacturer datasheet.
Hose reels & assembliesMake a water delivery assembly available at the designated response point.
Where it fits
Areas where water-based first response is appropriate and an escape route remains available.
Understand the complete systemWhat determines the specification
- Hazard suitability and coverage
- Hose reach and storage
- Water supply and inspection requirements
Make, model, ratings and approvals are confirmed against the project. This is a selection guide, not a manufacturer datasheet.
Pipes, valves & accessoriesDistribute water with provisions for isolation, drainage and testing.
What determines the specification
- Hydraulic calculation and pressure rating
- Corrosion exposure and supports
- Isolation strategy and identification
Make, model, ratings and approvals are confirmed against the project. This is a selection guide, not a manufacturer datasheet.
Selection starts with your site.
Final quantities, ratings, brands and documentation depend on the agreed design and selected manufacturer. Mercury can discuss appropriate equipment and available technical documents for your requirement.
