Product Use and Protection
It provides a clean, flush finish around the opening while allowing firefighters to quickly access the outlet valve when the dry riser system is in use.

UK Regulations and Standards for Dry Riser Outlet Points
In the UK, dry riser systems must be correctly installed, accessible, inspected, and maintained so they are ready for use in an emergency.
The Law: The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes the building’s “Responsible Person” legally accountable for maintaining fire safety systems.
Building Regulations: Approved Document B requires dry risers in buildings where the top floor is between 18m and 50m from ground level. Buildings over 50m generally require wet risers.
The Standard: BS 9990:2015 is the main code of practice covering the design, installation, testing, and maintenance of dry riser systems.
Outlet Positioning: Dry riser outlet valves should be provided on the required floors above ground level and are normally located within protected stairwells, firefighting lobbies, corridors, or other suitable fire access areas.
Signage: Outlet doors and cabinets should be clearly identified and marked as “DRY RISER OUTLET.”
Installation Guidance
The Elite 024 Recessed Outlet Architrave & Door should be fitted over a suitable wall recess containing the dry riser outlet valve.
The minimum aperture required is 470mm wide x 640mm high, allowing the architrave and door to sit neatly around the opening. The outlet valve should remain clearly visible, accessible, and unobstructed once installed. The door should open freely, and the Fire Brigade should be able to connect to the outlet valve without obstruction.
Where installed in a fire-rated wall, stairwell, protected lobby, or compartment line, any gaps around the recess or pipe penetrations should be sealed with suitable fire-stopping materials to maintain fire integrity.
Maintenance Requirements
Six-Monthly Visual Inspection: The architrave, door, lock, hinge, glass, signage, fixing points, outlet valve, and surrounding area should be checked every 6 months. The inspection should look for damage, corrosion, obstruction, tampering, debris, missing signage, or leaks.
Annual Wet Pressure Test: Once every 12 months, the dry riser system should be filled with water and pressure tested to confirm it is watertight and capable of withstanding operational pressures.
A full logbook should be kept for all inspections, tests, repairs, and remedial works.
This product contains glass with sharp edges. Please handle with care.
Please check all products before signing for the materials. We cannot be held responsible for goods after they have been signed for.
