Overview

 

forede® fire Siamese is a valve assembly with two or more inlets that merge into a single outlet, allowing multiple fire hoses to connect and boost water flow into a fire protection system.

 

Inlets (usually 2 or 3) - Threaded female couplings (often 2½") where firefighters attach hoses.

Clappers / Check valves - Prevent backflow from one inlet to another.

Body / Manifold - Combines the inlets into one outlet line to the internal fire system.

Caps or plugs - Protect the inlets from dust and debris when not in use.

FAQ

 

Q: What materials are used?

Common materials include:

Brass (durable and corrosion-resistant)

Bronze

Cast iron or ductile iron

Stainless steel (for high corrosion resistance)

 

Q: What components make up a Fire Siamese Connection?

Typical parts:

Body / Inlet (Y-shaped fitting)

Clapper valves (to prevent backflow)

Caps or plugs (to protect from debris)

Chain (to secure the caps)

Identification plate (to label the system, e.g., "STANDPIPE" or "SPRINKLER")

 

Q: How is it connected to the fire protection system?

It connects through piping to the standpipe system or automatic sprinkler system inside the building, allowing the fire department to supplement the internal water supply.

 

Q: What maintenance is required?

Regular inspection and cleaning to remove debris.

Ensure clapper valves move freely.

Check caps, chains, and threads for damage or corrosion.

Verify identification signage is clear and legible.

(Usually inspected every quarterly or annually, depending on NFPA 25 or local standards.)

 

Q: How does it work during a fire?

When firefighters arrive:

They connect hoses from a fire engine to the Siamese inlets.

The engine pumps water into the building's fire system.

The added pressure ensures adequate flow to sprinkler heads or hose valves on upper floors.
