🔥 Application and Use Cases

According to the Chief Fire Officer’s recommendations, a fire service inlet connection must be installed at the ground level of buildings to allow fire brigade pumps to supply water directly into the building’s internal firefighting systems. These inlets are commonly found in:

• High-rise residential buildings
• Commercial office complexes
• Warehouses and factories
• Shopping malls and public institutions

During emergencies, firefighters quickly connect hoses to the inlet, supplying pressurized water to internal sprinklers or wet riser systems. This process significantly reduces response time and enhances firefighting efficiency.

🔄 Urban and Public Applications

Beyond firefighting, fire hydrant systems—including inlet connections—play unconventional roles in public safety and urban cooling. For example:

• During a historic heatwave in New York City, the Commissioner of Public Works ordered fire hydrants to be opened to help cool down communities.
• In some U.S. cities, low-flow sprinkler attachments are now distributed to homeowners. These devices connect to hydrants via fire brigade inlet connections, allowing safe water play while conserving water.
• At times, locals remove hydrant caps to release water for cooling and recreation, using the fire hydrant system as a temporary relief source.

These additional uses highlight the versatility and community impact of urban water supply infrastructure.
