The Dry Landing Valve is a vital component in dry riser fire protection systems, designed to provide firefighters with a secure point of access to the building’s internal water distribution system during emergencies. Unlike wet riser valves, the dry landing valve is installed in systems that remain unpressurized and dry until connected to an external water supply by fire services.
Typically mounted within fire hose cabinets or at stairwell landings, the valve allows water to flow only when the system is charged via a breeching inlet. Its rugged construction, manual operation, and compatibility with various coupling types make it ideal for use in mid- to high-rise commercial and residential buildings.
Key Features:
Designed for use in dry riser systems (normally empty until activated)
Manual shut-off via handwheel for controlled water release
Constructed from corrosion-resistant materials such as bronze or brass
Compatible with standard hose couplings (e.g., BS 336, Storz, NPT/BSP threads)
Installed at landing levels in fire escape stairwells or fire hose cabinets
Complies with BS 5041, EN 671, or equivalent fire safety standards
Ideal for buildings 18–60 meters high, where pressurized wet risers are not required
