Description
Fire hose reel identification sign compliant with AS 1319, using the mandatory red panel to signal equipment location during emergencies. This Type A variant is essential for facilities with hose reel systems, enabling staff and emergency responders to find equipment without delay. Materials span corflute, polypropylene, colorbond, and vinyl in sizes from 225×300 mm to 600×900 mm. Colorbond's non-combustible construction suits high-risk zones; polypropylene works well indoors at lower cost. Fire-resistant inks ensure durability and legibility in operational environments. Platinum Signs delivers nationwide to trade accounts with volume discounts, lamination, reflective finishes, and pre-drilled holes to suit your installation method.
Final sign type, wording, size, placement and material depend on the site risk, project specification and applicable jurisdiction. Confirm the requirement with the relevant WHS adviser or regulator.

Frequently asked
What's the difference between Type A, B, and C fire hose reel signs?
The types indicate different hose reel configurations or pressure ratings per AS 1319. Type A is the standard low-pressure reel sign. Confirm your equipment's classification in your facility's fire safety plan or equipment manual.
Is lamination recommended for hose reel signs?
Yes, particularly in wet or humid areas (kitchens, bathrooms, outdoor locations). Lamination protects the print from moisture and extends sign life, though it adds cost. Indoor dry areas may not require it.
Can I mix material types in a bulk order?
Volume-pricing examples are 5 signs: 8% off, 10 signs: 15% off, 25 signs: 24% off, 50 signs: 32% off, 100 signs: 40% off. Savings increase gradually between these quantities. The total increases as you add more signs, while the average price per sign falls or stays the same. The configurator calculates the total for your selected quantity.
Do reflective signs meet AS 1319?
Reflective grades provide different visibility performance. Choose the grade required by the project specification and site conditions, and confirm any road, traffic or high-risk requirement with the relevant authority before ordering.
What's the lead time for a large trade order?
Standard orders ship within 5–10 business days. Large or custom orders may take 2–3 weeks. Contact our trade team to confirm lead time and arrange priority dispatch if needed.
