Dry Riser Cabinets

Dry riser cabinets protect the most critical access points in a building's firefighting system — the inlets and outlets that let fire crews deliver water to the upper floors quickly, safely and without obstruction when it matters most.

Built for compliance and the real world: robust construction, secure locking, and weather-resistant finishes that stand up to the elements and everyday knocks. In an emergency, the cabinet can't be the weak link.

Why dry riser cabinets matter
Above a certain building height, a dry riser stops being a "nice to have" and becomes a legal requirement — the way fire crews get water to the upper floors fast, without trailing hoses up stairwells and losing precious minutes. But a dry riser system is only as reliable as the cabinet that houses it: if the cabinet is corroded, damaged, badly fitted or hard to open, the whole system is compromised. That's the cabinet's job — keep the inlet or outlet protected, visible and instantly accessible.

Designed for compliance — and real-world use
Our dry riser cabinets are manufactured to meet the relevant British Standards (BS 9990 governs dry riser installations), and engineered with installers, inspectors and firefighters in mind:

  • Secure, lockable construction to prevent tampering
  • Weather- and corrosion-resistant materials for internal or external use
  • Clear visibility and easy access in high-pressure situations
  • Surface-mounted and recessed options to suit different wall constructions

They're supplied ready to install, cutting time on site and taking the friction out of the approval process.

Frequently asked questions

What is a dry riser cabinet?
It's the protective, lockable enclosure that houses the inlet or outlet of a dry riser — the breeching inlet the fire brigade connects their pump to at ground level, or the landing valve crews connect hoses to on the upper floors. It keeps that connection point protected, visible and instantly accessible.
What's the difference between an inlet and an outlet cabinet?
An inlet cabinet houses the breeching inlet at ground level, where the fire brigade pumps water into the system. An outlet cabinet houses a landing valve on the upper floors, where crews connect their hoses. A dry riser needs both, and we supply cabinets for each.
Are dry riser cabinets a legal requirement?
Dry risers are required in buildings above a certain height under the Building Regulations, with installation governed by BS 9990. The cabinet is what protects and provides access to that system, so a compliant, well-fitted cabinet is part of keeping the whole installation reliable. Your specification or fire strategy will confirm what's required.
Should I choose a surface-mounted or recessed cabinet?
It comes down to the wall construction and how much depth you have. Surface-mounted cabinets fix onto the wall face and suit solid or space-limited walls; recessed cabinets sit into the wall for a flush, tidier finish where there's room. We offer both.
