The fire department connection is the exterior connection that allows the fire department to supply or support a fire protection network from an external source. It is supplied in bronze or aluminum, according to specification, and coordinated with systems designed under NFPA 13 criteria and standards applicable to the project. Its value lies in accessibility, identification and thread or connection compatibility, because it must allow fast connection during an emergency. Unlike an angle valve for a cabinet, the fire department connection is not an internal use point for a cabinet hose; it is a supply connection for external intervention. To select it, inlet type, material, cap, chain, plate, requested thread, location on facade or pedestal and compatibility with the sprinkler or cabinet network are reviewed.
We dispatch to Bogotá, Medellín, Cali, Barranquilla and all of Colombia. Request a quote via WhatsApp for your fire department connection indicating material, connection, quantity and city.
It depends on material, connection type, included accessories, finish and quantity. TECTUL quotes per unit for nationwide dispatch.
The fire department connection is an exterior connection for firefighters. The angle valve is an internal outlet point for a hose in a cabinet or standpipe system.
It is installed connected to the network according to drawings, visible, accessible, with protective caps and thread compatible with the local authority.
It depends on the project specification, environment, required durability and budget. Both options must be validated against the intended use.
Material, thread or connection type, number of inlets, required accessories, delivery city and whether there are drawings or a technical specification.
Yes, it can be part of the fire department connection used to support sprinkler systems or hydraulic fire protection networks.

The dimensions, thicknesses, pressures, temperatures and other characteristics stated in this data sheet are theoretical nominal reference values, compiled from publicly available technical sources: international standards (ASME, ASTM, API, MSS, ISO and NTC, depending on the product) and published engineering literature. They are average approximations intended to guide selection, not a certificate of conformity for any given lot.
Actual values may vary due to conditions inherent to the manufacturing process — dimensional and wall-thickness tolerances (in pipe, typically ±12.5%), surface finish and residual stresses from forming or welding — and to factors inherent to the raw material — chemical composition variations within the ranges allowed by the standard, inclusions or heat-to-heat differences. They may also be affected by in-service events not foreseeable at design time: water hammer, vibration, thermal and mechanical fatigue, corrosion and operating overpressures, which can cause the element to fail before its estimated service life.
To know the certified behavior of a specific lot, TECTUL supplies upon request the manufacturer's mill test certificate (MTC) issued per the product standard; for critical applications, laboratory testing of the lot can also be arranged. In the absence of such certification, the data provided here must not be used as the sole criterion in critical or safety applications, or wherever the integrity of the line may compromise the lives of people or property; in such cases, consult our technical team first.
