Dry Risers
A Dry Riser is a dry pipe connecting inlets to outlets through the floors of the building. This enables the Fire Brigade to pump water from an inlet situated in an accessible location to outlets usually at each floor level within a stair core through the building. Hoses can then be attached to the outlet to enable firefighters to tackle the fire on the affected floors.
Dry Risers are required in buildings with a floor level over 18m but less than 50m or one that has floors more than 10m below ground. Buildings over 50m in height require a Wet Riser.
