Description
The Shield SD-BI 4-Way Breeching Inlet is a premium fire protection manifold installed at the ground level of buildings to allow fire rescue services to pump large volumes of water into dry riser mains. Constructed with a highly durable spheroidal graphite (ductile) iron body, this configuration features four individual 2 1/2 -inch instantaneous male non-return valves linked to a single 6-inch (150 mm) flanged outlet. Each inlet is engineered with an internal spring-loaded mechanism to prevent water backflow and is outfitted with a copper alloy blank cap and retaining chain. Built to handle a maximum working pressure of up to 16 bar (232 PSI) and fully manufactured in compliance with BS 5041 Part 3, it offers exceptional reliability for high-rise commercial infrastructures and municipal emergency networks.
Features
- Quad-Inlet High Capacity: Incorporates four separate 2½-inch connections to feed a single 6-inch dry riser line, maximizing water delivery volume from fire tenders.
- Integrated Non-Return Mechanism: Each individual inlet features a spring-loaded clapper check valve to eliminate fluid backflow and pressure loss if a hose disconnects.
- Corrosion-Resistant Components: Internal valve internals and blank caps are forged from high-grade copper alloy to withstand aggressive water exposure without seizing.
- Robust Structural Build: Heavy-duty ductile iron body construction provides exceptional impact resistance and reliably withstands demanding field pressures up to 16 bar.
- Debris & Environmental Protection: Provided with protective blank caps and retaining chains to shield connection surfaces from environmental elements and nesting pests.
