R7-6-9C Questions

What does the Fire Department Connection placard mark?

It identifies the standpipe or sprinkler inlet on a building so arriving crews can locate the connection in seconds instead of searching the exterior wall.

Where is the R7-6-9C mounted?

On the wall, directly at or above the connection itself. Unlike the rest of this series it is not a post-mounted parking sign, and it does not restrict parking on its own.

R7-6-9C Important Information

The Fire Department Connection Sign (MUTCD R7-6-9C) is used to indicate the location of a connection point for firefighters to access a building's water supply in case of a fire emergency. The sign features a white FIRE DEPT CONNECTION legend on a red background to help firefighters quickly locate the connection point.

R7-6-9C Reflective Sheeting Options

Because the R7-6-9C has to be picked out at night by arriving apparatus crews, the T-11500 OmniCube - up to 60 percent brighter with a 12-year outdoor durability rating - is the safer choice when night visibility matters most, while the T-6500 High Intensity Prismatic delivers proven 10-year durability.
