Fire Hose Cabinet Philippines — Buyer FAQ
How much does a fire hose cabinet cost in the Philippines from your factory?
There is no single price — cost follows steel grade and thickness (1.0–1.2 mm typical), size, door style (solid, glass or framed), powder coat versus stainless, whether hose and valve are included, and quantity. A standard single-door powder-coated cabinet is a fraction of a stainless combination unit. Send your spec or BOQ and we return an FOB Xiamen quote within 24 hours with wholesale tiers.
What is the standard size of a fire hose cabinet?
In the Philippines the common fire hose cabinet size is 32 × 27 × 7 in (about 813 × 686 × 178 mm) for a 100 ft hose and 24 × 27 × 7 in (about 610 × 686 × 178 mm) for 50 ft — local suppliers list them in inches, consultants' drawings carry the same sizes in mm. No fire hose cabinet standard size is written into RA 9514; the cabinet follows the hose length, the rack or reel and the valve. We build those Philippine sizes as well as our pictured standards — 800 × 650 × 240 mm single-door with aluminium trim frame and 1800 × 700 × 240 mm floor-standing combination — and anything else to your drawing.
Recess type or surface type — which should I specify?
Recess type sits inside the wall with a trim frame and needs a rough opening about 20 mm larger than the cabinet, plus wall depth to clear the box; it gives a flush look in lobbies and corridors. Surface type mounts on the wall face with no opening — quicker for retrofits, parking levels and industrial floors. Semi-recess covers thin partition walls.
What is a fire hose cabinet, and what comes in a set with complete accessories?
Typically the cabinet, a 1.5-inch × 50 ft or 100 ft hose (single or double jacket), a 1.5-inch angle valve, a spray nozzle and a hose rack or swing reel; a portable extinguisher, fire axe, spanner and signage are optional. We supply the cabinet from our own line and source the matched accessories on request, or ship empty cabinets to your BOQ.
What are the fire hose cabinet requirements in the Philippines — RA 9514, NFPA and signage?
We manufacture to your project's specification, which your fire consultant aligns with RA 9514 and the NFPA standards it references (for example NFPA 14 for standpipe and hose systems, Class I / II / III). Fire hose cabinet signage requirements — door lettering, stickers or labels — are met with the layout your consultant approves. We supply material certificates, ISO 9001 quality records and third-party EN 60529 enclosure test documents to support BFP acceptance. We do not claim UL or FM listings.
Where should a fire hose cabinet be located, and what is the standard height of a fire hose cabinet from the finished floor?
Locations follow the standpipe layout in your approved fire-protection drawings — typically at stairwell landings and along corridors so the hose reaches every point on the floor. The installation height (height from floor) is set so the valve and hose are reachable by an occupant; your consultant confirms the exact figure for the project. Our mounting-height guide explains the common practice and the installation details.
Can you OEM fire cabinets for Philippine distributors, and how do you ship?
Yes — as a factory-direct fire hose cabinet supplier in the Philippines market we offer free OEM: your logo, colours, labels and packaging with no tooling fee. We already produce hose cabinets, extinguisher cabinets and hydrant boxes under distributors' own brands. Shipping is FOB Xiamen with sea freight to Manila, Cebu, Davao or your named port; cabinets go knocked-down or assembled in export cartons or crates.
Do you sell fire hose cabinet spare parts — glass, keys, locks — and how is your price different from a local list price?
Yes. Spare parts — replacement glass, keys, locks, hinges and door signage — are supplied for our cabinets and, on request, for existing installations. On pricing: the fire hose cabinet price Philippines buyers see from us is a factory FOB price, not a distributor list price — it moves with size, steel grade, door type and whether the hose set is included; the datasheet lists the models, and a BOQ gets you a line-by-line quote within 24 hours.
