2-Way Breeching Inlet

A two-way breeching inlet is a type of fire protection equipment that is commonly used in buildings to provide a connection point for fire hoses. It is usually located in a dedicated outdoor location, such as near the building’s fire hydrant or fire service entrance, and is connected to the building’s internal fire suppression system.

The two-way breeching inlet consists of a horizontal pipe that is connected to two vertical outlets, each with a valve that can be opened to allow water to flow in or out of the pipe. Firefighters can connect their hoses to either outlet to access the building’s water supply for firefighting purposes.

The advantage of a two-way breeching inlet is that it provides two connection points, which allows firefighters to work on either side of the inlet without interfering with each other. This can be particularly useful in large buildings where multiple firefighting teams may be working at the same time.

In order for the two-way breeching inlet to function properly, it must be regularly inspected and maintained to ensure that it is free from obstructions and in good working condition.
