At EMACO Global, we specialize in manufacturing high-performance fire safety components that deliver reliability, ease of operation, and international compliance. The EMACO Hose Rack Assembly (LPCB Approved) is designed to ensure fast, efficient first-response firefighting within buildings before external fire services arrive.
Mounted along interior fire risers, the assembly consists of a durable rack designed to store and deploy a lay-flat hose connected to a landing valve. Its semi-automatic release mechanism allows the hose to pay out smoothly when pulled, enabling firefighters or trained personnel to combat fires immediately without delays.
Fabricated from stainless steel or epoxy-coated mild steel, the EMACO Hose Rack Assembly is engineered for strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term stability in indoor environments such as commercial, industrial, and institutional buildings.
Best Features
A Hose Rack Assembly is a crucial manual firefighting unit, typically installed in corridors, service areas, and industrial facilities. It allows trained occupants or emergency staff to initiate first-line fire suppression while the main firefighting system activates or before fire services reach the site.
Unlike traditional coiled hose reels, the EMACO Hose Rack Assembly holds a flat hose folded in layers on a pivoting rack. When the hose nozzle is pulled, the rack automatically releases the hose folds, ensuring smooth deployment without twisting or snagging. This design allows water to flow immediately once the landing valve is opened, enabling swift fire control during the critical initial response period.
The assembly is designed for indoor installation and connects directly to the building’s wet riser or hydrant system. Its combination of rugged materials, precision hinges, and anti-corrosion coatings ensures reliable function under emergency stress.
The fire hose is neatly folded over the hose rack arm, kept ready for immediate use. The nozzle end is attached to the outermost fold and secured lightly to prevent accidental unwinding.
When the operator pulls the hose nozzle outward, the folds begin to release automatically. The rack arm pivots or swings out, allowing the hose to lay flat as it extends. This ensures minimal friction and quick hose deployment.
The hose remains connected to a landing valve outlet (usually 1½” or 2½”) installed on the wet riser. Once the valve wheel is turned, pressurized water flows through the hose to the nozzle.
Operators can aim the nozzle directly at the fire source. The EMACO assembly supports adjustable stream and fog-type nozzles, enabling controlled water discharge depending on the fire’s nature.
After use, the hose is drained, cleaned, and refolded neatly onto the rack. The swivel hinge and guide arms make this process quick and straightforward, preparing the unit for the next emergency.

Commercial Buildings
Installed along emergency corridors and exit points, enabling building occupants or security staff to respond instantly to small or localized fires.
Hospitals and Healthcare Facilities
Ideal for environments requiring reliable, clean, and corrosion-free firefighting solutions. Quick hose access ensures fire containment before evacuation challenges arise.
Factories and Warehouses
Designed for facilities with electrical, chemical, or mechanical operations. Allows early intervention to prevent full-scale equipment or material loss.
Educational Institutions and Office Towers
Supports first-response firefighting in densely populated structures where time is critical before emergency crews arrive.
Residential High-Rises
Used along stairwells and service shafts to allow fast water access during indoor fire outbreaks, reducing flame spread and smoke development.
Regular Inspection
Inspect hose racks monthly for structural integrity, corrosion, and hinge movement. Check hose folds for cracks, abrasion, or discoloration.
Functional Testing
Conduct bi-annual deployment tests to ensure the rack’s pivoting mechanism operates smoothly and the hose releases correctly without obstruction.
Cleaning and Lubrication
Clean the rack assembly using mild detergent and reapply protective coating as necessary. Lubricate moving joints and hinges for long-term operability.
Hose Condition Monitoring
Test hoses periodically for hydrostatic performance as per BS standards. Replace any hose that shows visible damage or leakage.
Refolding After Use
After deployment or testing, ensure the hose is completely drained, dried, and refolded neatly on the rack in the prescribed pattern.
LPCB-Approved Construction
Each EMACO Hose Rack Assembly undergoes independent testing and certification by the Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB), confirming compliance with global safety benchmarks for performance, strength, and corrosion resistance.
Ergonomic & User-Friendly Design
Engineered for smooth hose release, the semi-automatic swing arm minimizes kinks and tangles, allowing rapid operation by non-professional personnel during an emergency.
Superior Durability
Made from stainless steel or epoxy-coated mild steel, the rack resists moisture, corrosion, and mechanical wear, ensuring stable functionality even in humid or industrial environments.
Compact & Versatile Installation
Its wall-mounted design conserves space while providing accessibility in strategic zones such as corridors, shafts, or equipment rooms.
Seamless System Compatibility
Fully compatible with standard landing valves, hoses, and nozzles, allowing integration with both wet riser and hydrant systems without modification.
Low Maintenance Requirement
Minimal moving parts reduce mechanical failure risk, making it a cost-effective, long-life firefighting solution for high-occupancy or industrial buildings.
With proper maintenance and environmental protection, EMACO Hose Rack Assemblies provide a service life of over 10–15 years. Stainless steel variants offer even longer lifespans due to superior corrosion resistance.
Their robust mechanical design ensures continued functionality despite repeated deployments, exposure to humidity, or temperature fluctuations. Regular inspections and minor lubrication maintain reliability across decades of service.
