Description
Fire hose identification sign built to AS 1319 standards, featuring the red panel format that ensures rapid equipment location in emergency situations. This sign clearly marks hose reels, hydrant boosters, and alarm call points, supporting workplace safety compliance and staff training. Choose from corflute, polypropylene, colorbond, or vinyl, sized from 225×300 mm to 600×900 mm. Colorbond delivers non-combustible performance for demanding installations; polypropylene provides an economical solution for sheltered indoor use. Fire-resistant inks protect legibility over time. Trade customers benefit from bulk discounts, flexible delivery across Australia, and optional reflective or laminated finishes. Pre-drilled mounting holes are available to streamline installation.
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
Where exactly should I install a fire hose sign?
Mount it directly above or immediately adjacent to the hose reel, hydrant, or booster. AS 1319 specifies the red panel must be clearly visible and unobstructed so staff can locate equipment instantly during an emergency.
Will this sign fade if exposed to sunlight?
Our fire-resistant inks resist fading, but outdoor exposure will gradually reduce colour saturation. Colorbond material offers better UV protection than polypropylene; reflective upgrades also improve visibility in low light.
Can I order custom text or graphics on this sign?
Yes. Platinum Signs handles custom artwork for trade orders. Contact our sales team with your design requirements and we'll provide a quote and lead time.
How long does delivery take across Australia?
Standard delivery is 5–10 business days to most locations. Express options are available for trade accounts. Bulk orders may require extended lead time; confirm at checkout.
What's included with pre-drilled holes?
Yes. Four-corner pre-drilled holes are an optional extra with a base surcharge of $3.00 inc GST per sign for the listed configurations, before any applicable volume discount. Select the option to update the configured total before adding to cart.
