Fire Protection Equipment in Australia

Fire protection contractors need equipment that suits the job, clear product information and a supplier that understands trade purchasing. From replacing an extinguisher to sourcing components for a fire detection or sprinkler system, the right supplier helps buyers bring together the products needed for installation and ongoing maintenance.

Fire Factory Australia supplies a broad range of fire protection equipment for Australian fire companies, electrical contractors, resellers and facility maintenance teams. An Australian manufacturer and wholesaler serving the industry since 2004, FFA combines more than 20 years of experience with competitive wholesale pricing and a focus on product quality.

An Australian Manufacturer and Wholesaler Since 2004

An established supplier gives trade buyers a point of contact for product selection, technical information and repeat orders. Fire Factory Australia has supplied the Australian market since 2004, building a range that covers portable fire equipment, detection, emergency lighting, cables, wet fire components and passive fire products.

FFA operates as both a manufacturer and wholesaler. Its catalogue includes FFA products alongside equipment from brands such as Tyco, Weflo, Notifier and PSA. This gives contractors access to a wider selection while allowing them to choose the brand, model and specifications required for a particular project.

With locations in Smithfield and Granville, NSW, FFA also provides a local contact for customers purchasing fire safety equipment and discussing their supply requirements.

Explore the Fire Protection Equipment Range

Fire Extinguishers and Fire Blankets

FFA manufactures and supplies fire extinguishers across several agent types, including ABE dry powder, carbon dioxide, water, foam and wet chemical models. Mobile extinguishers are also listed for buyers requiring larger units.

Selection should follow the fire risks, required rating and installation requirements for the site. Buyers can also source brackets, cabinets and identification signs to suit the selected equipment.

The fire blanket range provides additional options in several sizes. Bringing extinguishers, blankets and their accessories into one order can simplify purchasing for new installations and replacement work.

Fire Hose Reels and Hydrant Equipment

FFA supplies fire hose reels and accessories, including reels, hoses, replacement components, cabinets and covers.

The fire hydrant equipment range includes landing valves, booster components, lay flat hoses and related accessories. Pressure gauges and flow testing equipment are also listed within the wet fire catalogue.

For contractors, access to both complete equipment and smaller replacement parts is useful when preparing installation orders or responding to defects identified during servicing. Connections, dimensions and pressure ratings should be checked against the system requirements before ordering.

Sprinklers and Wet Fire System Components

The wet fire products catalogue extends to Tyco sprinklers and nozzles, Tyco valves and Weflo valve products.

Listed categories include standard, extended coverage, storage, dry and residential sprinklers, together with sprinkler accessories. Valve options include butterfly, gate and check valves, backflow prevention devices, strainers and pressure control products.

This variety supports purchasing across different wet fire applications. Each component must suit the approved system design, operating conditions and required approvals. Sprinkler types, valve arrangements and connection sizes should be confirmed for the specific project.

Fire Detection and Emergency Warning Equipment

The fire detection range includes fire alarm control panels, conventional and addressable detectors, modules, interfaces, manual call points and audio and visual devices.

The catalogue also covers beam and aspirating smoke detection, flame detectors, power supplies, panel spares and emergency warning system components. Contractors can source equipment for new work as well as parts for existing installations, subject to compatibility.

FFA also lists smoke alarms, including FFA and PSA products. One example is the FFA-710 photoelectric smoke alarm. Buyers should confirm power supply, interconnection options and application requirements for the selected model.

Emergency Lighting and Exit Lights

FFA supplies LED and emergency lighting, including exit lights, emergency battens, spitfire lights, oyster lights and twin spot emergency fittings.

The range provides different mounting styles and fitting formats for installation and replacement work. Lighting accessories and test switches are also available within the catalogue.

Choosing a replacement requires more than matching its appearance. Buyers should check the required lighting classification, mounting arrangement, operating mode and environmental rating against the design and the product documentation.

Fire Alarm Cables and Electrical Cables

The FFA cable range covers fire alarm installations and general electrical wiring. Listed options include:

• Flat TPS fire alarm cable.
• Twisted TPS fire alarm cable.
• Two-hour fire-rated fire alarm cable.
• Twin and earth TPS cable.
• Orange circular cable.
• Cat6 cable and cable accessories.

Product specifications, standards and certification vary across these cable types. FFA provides supporting technical information to help buyers check the selected cable’s intended application. Conductor size, core configuration, voltage rating and any required fire performance should be confirmed before purchase.

Passive Fire Products and Door Seals

The passive fire range includes conduit collars, retrofit collars, fire batts, fire mortar, fire pillows, sealants, wraps and penetration identification stickers. Door hardware and seals are also listed.

The door seal range includes automatic drop seals and intumescent products. The FFA-DDS-1 automatic door drop sealis one option, alongside other seal formats for different installation requirements.

Passive fire performance depends on the installed system. Buyers should check the supporting evidence and installation instructions for the particular wall, floor, penetration or door assembly.

Fire Service Logbooks

Documentation is an essential part of ongoing fire equipment maintenance. FFA supplies fire safety logbooks designed to support routine service records for a wide range of systems.

The range covers detection and alarms, emergency warning and intercom systems, sprinklers, pumpsets, hydrants, hose reels, water storage tanks, special hazard systems and passive fire protection.

The Mechanical Services Logbook also provides records for fire and smoke control features of mechanical services, including relevant inspection results, defects and corrective actions.

Selecting a book suited to the installed system helps technicians record work consistently and gives building managers a clearer service history.

Detector Testing Equipment

FFA’s detector testing equipment includes smoke test sprays, telescopic rods, detector removal tools and smoke and heat testing kits.

The catalogue also lists products such as Smoke Saver Plus spray with a built-in extension.

Testing products should suit the detector type and the manufacturer’s instructions. Having the appropriate tools and consumables available helps service teams prepare for scheduled work and avoid arriving without a required testing accessory.

Safety Signs and Equipment Accessories

FFA supplies fire safety signs for extinguishers, fire blankets, hose reels, hydrants, fire doors, exits and alarm equipment.

The supporting range includes cabinets and covers, extinguisher brackets, locks and keys, batteries, hardware and service tags and accessories.

These items help buyers complete an equipment order. Checking the required sign, mounting hardware, protective enclosure and service identification at the same time as the main product can reduce separate purchasing tasks later.

Competitive Wholesale Pricing for Trade Buyers

Price matters when contractors quote projects, replace equipment across multiple sites or replenish service stock. FFA offers competitive wholesale pricing on its fire extinguisher range and competitive distributor pricing through its distributor programme.

Its manufacturing and wholesale supply model allows buyers to discuss their requirements directly with the supplier. The broad catalogue also makes it possible to source related equipment and accessories together.

Trade customers can register for an account to access product pricing. For project quantities, recurring orders or a mixed product list, buyers can request a quotation based on the required items and quantities.

Quality Supported by Product Information

Quality fire protection equipment needs clear specifications and evidence of suitability for its intended use. FFA places product quality, testing and certification at the centre of its manufacturing approach.

For buyers, this means reviewing the information for the exact product being ordered. FFA’s cable pages, for example, explain that applicable standards and supporting certification differ between products and cable types. A rating or approval for one model should not be assumed to cover another.

Product datasheets, applicable certificates and installation instructions help contractors assess whether equipment meets the project specification. This makes technical information a practical part of purchasing, alongside price, availability and after-sales support.

Choosing Equipment for the Job

A clear purchasing list helps the supplier identify suitable products and prepare an accurate quotation. Before ordering, confirm:

• The equipment type, product code and required quantity.
• Relevant dimensions, connections and electrical or pressure ratings.
• Compatibility with the existing system.
• The required standards, approvals and supporting documents.
• Installation conditions, including indoor or outdoor use.
• Related accessories, signs, testing tools and service records.

For replacement work, photographs of the existing equipment and its identification label can help clarify the enquiry. Final selection should follow the approved design and the requirements confirmed by the responsible fire protection professional.

Plan for Routine Service and Record Keeping

Purchasing equipment is one part of maintaining an effective fire protection system. Inspection, testing, maintenance and defect rectification also need to be planned.

AS 1851 addresses routine servicing of the fire protection systems and equipment within its scope. Requirements depend on the building and jurisdiction. For example, NSW Government guidance explains the applicable AS 1851 obligations and distinguishes emergency exit lighting, which falls outside that standard’s scope and remains subject to separate maintenance requirements.

Equipment purchases should therefore include consideration of suitable testing tools, replacement parts and service records. A logbook supports documentation; compliance also depends on the installed system and the work actually completed.
