Aluminum sign for combined Siamese fire department connection for sprinkler and standpipe or dry riser systems

This aluminum sign helps identify a combined Siamese fire department connection serving both an automatic sprinkler system and a standpipe or dry riser system without delay. It is suited for buildings where responders must quickly locate a connection point serving more than one fire protection network during an emergency. 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 does not replace the overall compliance of the building, but it helps make the connection point easier to spot and understand.

NFPA 170-2015 compliance for the combined fire department connection sign

This sign is presented as compliant with NFPA 170-2015 requirements for fire safety and emergency symbols. It is intended to identify a combined Siamese fire department connection linked to both an automatic sprinkler system and a standpipe or dry riser system so the correct water supply point can be found faster during an intervention.

Features of the aluminum sign for combined Siamese 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 sprinkler and standpipe fire connection signage

This sign is suited for industrial, commercial, institutional, and multi-residential buildings where the same fire department connection serves both an automatic sprinkler system and a standpipe or dry riser system. It helps clearly distinguish that connection from other fire protection devices installed on the facade or near the access point. It is especially useful when several fire protection connections or water-based systems are present on the same building.

Special-order format options for the fire protection sign

Other sizes may be available by special order. If the standard dimensions do not fit the installation area or expected viewing distance, Sylprotec customer service can help you choose a custom solution. The current product text also mentions that some special orders may require up to four weeks.

Suggestions to complement your fire protection signage

You may also need complementary safety equipment. See these items; for a double fire department connection serving automatic sprinklers, choose the Siamese sign (EI301); for a single fire department connection serving automatic sprinklers, add the single model (EI302); for a standpipe or dry riser system alone, use the standpipe sign (EI303); and to identify a sprinkler shutoff point, the valve model (EI305) is a strong complement.

Under "Accessories" at the bottom of the page. If you are looking for additional equipment, consider the following products: for a manual gas shutoff point, use the gas sign (EI306); for a version with basement wording, choose the basement model (EI301SRC); for a fire cabinet location, add the cabinet sign (EI703); and for fire hose direction, complete the set with the hose model (EI701).
