DRY & WET RISER SYSTEM

Legislation

Riser Explained

Why maintain my dry/wet riser?

Risers can be prone to neglect and even
vandalism, so it is important to have them
regularly maintained and inspected. With the
potential for penalties should they fail to
function in the event of a fire, the risers should
be visually inspected every 6 months and
hydraulically pressure tested annually in
accordance with BS 9990.

What is a dry/wet riser?

Maintenance of measures provided for

protection of fire-fighters
"Where necessary in order to safeguard the
safety of fire-fighters in the event of a fire, the
responsible person must ensure that the
premises and any facilities, equipment and
devices provided in respect of the premises for
the use by or protection of fire-fighters under
this order or under any other enactment,
including any enactment repealed or revoked by
this order, are subject to a suitable system of
maintenance and are maintained in an efficient
state, in efficient working order and in good
repair

Dry and Wet Riser Mains are intended for use by

means of delivering considerable quantities of
water to extinguish or prevent the spread of fire
