Aluminum sign for Siamese sprinkler fire connection with basement and first-floor inscription

Aluminum sign for Siamese sprinkler fire connection with basement and first-floor inscription

This aluminum sign is designed to quickly identify a Siamese fire department connection linked to an automatic sprinkler system. Its key purpose is to clearly indicate that the protected area covers the basement and first floor only. That added information helps fire crews understand the building's fire protection coverage more quickly and adjust their response accordingly. Available in multiple formats and materials to choose from in the drop-down menu. Please contact customer service for sign formats other than those offered in the boxes above, as well as for English or bilingual signs.

This sign is presented as compliant with NFPA 170-2015 requirements for fire safety and emergency symbols. It is intended to identify a Siamese fire department connection serving an automatic sprinkler system whose coverage is limited to the basement and first floor.

Features of the aluminum sign for Siamese fire department connections

The panel is made of aluminum with a thickness of 0.040 in. This sign is available in 12 x 12 in and 18 x 18 in formats. It can be ordered with a standard UV-resistant coating or with an engineer grade retro-reflective coating made with glass microbeads, which also includes UV protection. The sign is not pre-drilled.

Applications for the partial-coverage sprinkler system sign

This model is suited for buildings where the fire protection system does not cover the entire structure. The inscription clearly tells responders that the marked system serves the basement and first floor only. This information is especially useful when several sprinkler zones, fire connections, or protected areas coexist in the same building.

This sign is sold with the basement and first-floor inscription shown in the current product text, but other inscriptions may also be requested. Additional sizes may also be available by special order. For custom fire protection signage, Sylprotec advises contacting customer service.
