Throughout the UK, dry-riser valves are being targeted by vandals, who in many cases render this critical piece of firefighting equipment inoperable by fire and rescue services (FRS) in an emergency. However, a unique dry-riser outlet cover, developed by iSON Moulding, aims to bridge the gap between safeguarding the outlet valve whilst maintaining easy access for FRS.
Extensive research into the problems encountered by FRS highlighted three key concerns: general vandalism, theft of the hand wheel or worse still the entire valve, as well as unwanted items being placed in or around the valve. iSON’s dry-riser outlet valve cover addresses these problems by completely encasing the valve, acting as a preventative measure which will stop the FRS from losing critical time spent checking valves when they should be saving lives.
