Description
Fire hose reel Type B identification sign engineered to AS 1319 standards, featuring the red panel format required for fast emergency equipment recognition. This variant suits medium-pressure or specific reel configurations; consult your facility's fire safety documentation to confirm the correct type. Available in corflute, polypropylene, colorbond, and vinyl, ranging from 225×300 mm to 600×900 mm. Colorbond provides non-combustible durability for industrial or high-risk settings; polypropylene offers cost efficiency for protected indoor areas. All materials are printed with fire-resistant inks. Trade accounts receive volume discounts, Australia-wide delivery, and installation options including pre-drilled holes, lamination, and reflective Class 1 or 2 upgrades for enhanced visibility.
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
How do I know if my hose reel is Type A, B, or C?
Check your facility's fire safety plan, equipment label, or maintenance documentation. The reel's pressure rating and configuration determine the type. If unsure, contact your fire safety officer or equipment supplier.
Are these signs suitable for outdoor hose reels?
Yes, but use colorbond or vinyl with reflective upgrade for durability and visibility. Polypropylene will degrade faster in UV and wet conditions. Lamination also extends outdoor life.
Can I order a sample before committing to a bulk purchase?
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.
What happens if the sign gets damaged or fades?
Platinum Signs offers replacement pricing for damaged signs and can reprint faded units at cost. Lamination and reflective upgrades reduce fading and damage risk over time.
Do you supply signage for entire fire safety systems?
Yes. We stock fire extinguisher signs, hose reel variants, hydrant markers, alarm call point signs, and exit signs. Trade accounts can order a complete suite with coordinated pricing and delivery.
