A Fire Hose Water Divider (also called a Hose Splitter, Hose Collector, or Dividing Breeching) is a device used in firefighting to split one water supply line into multiple smaller lines, allowing firefighters to direct water to different locations at the same time.
Here's a simple overview:
🔥 Fire Hose Water Divider Overview
Definition:
A fire hose water divider is a fitting connected to a single inlet hose that divides the water flow into two or more outlets. It enables firefighters to control and distribute water to multiple hoses from one main line.
⚙️ Typical Construction
Body Material: Aluminum alloy or brass (lightweight and corrosion-resistant)
Inlet Connection: Usually 2½" or 3" male coupling
Outlet Connections: Two or three 1½" or 2½" female couplings
Valves: Each outlet often has a ball valve or gate valve to control flow individually
Working Pressure: Commonly rated for 16 bar (232 psi) or higher
🔄 Common Types
Two-Way Divider (Y-Type):
One inlet, two outlets
Used to split a main line into two smaller attack lines
Three-Way Divider (T-Type or Wye-Type):
One inlet, three outlets
Used for larger fire operations
Dividing Breeching with Valves:
Equipped with individual shutoff valves on each outlet
Allows control of each line independently
🚒 Applications
Splitting one supply line into multiple hose lines
Managing water flow to different nozzles or zones
Fire trucks, hydrant connections, or water relay systems
