Typical Applications
Where Fire Monitors Are Used
Petrochemical Plants & Tank Farms
PL foam-water monitors are the standard solution for flammable liquid storage protection. The switchable foam-water medium meets API 15 and NFPA 11 requirements for Class B fire suppression. Long throw range of ≥60 m keeps operators at a safe distance from flammable vapour zones.
PL Handle Foam-Water
PL Turbine-Worm
Airports & Aircraft Hangars (ARFF)
Portable PS10-80W-L ground monitors are used by Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) teams for rapid deployment on runways and in hangars. The lightweight aluminium alloy body reduces fatigue during mobile firefighting and meets ICAO Airport Emergency Plan requirements.
Portable PS10-80W-L
PS Handle Water
Warehouses & High-Bay Storage
Fixed PS water monitors on PZ bases provide high-flow coverage for large-bay warehouses and logistics centres. High-flow monitor systems can cover rack storage areas up to 85 m and supplement or replace complex in-rack sprinkler systems in certain occupancies.

LNG Terminals & Offshore Platforms
RCFM electric remote control fire monitors are specified for LNG terminals, gas processing plants and offshore platforms where personnel access to the fire zone is prohibited. The remote panel allows operators to aim, oscillate and trigger discharge from a safe control room position.
Remote Control RCFM
Tunnels & Underground Structures
Remote control fire monitors are widely installed in road and rail tunnels, underground car parks and metro stations. Electric pan/tilt control allows pre-programmed scan patterns and automatic fire detection integration, triggering water discharge without human intervention.

PS Turbine-Worm
Power Plants & Industrial Facilities
Worm-gear PS and PL monitors are installed at transformer bays, cable tunnels and turbine halls in power generation facilities. Worm-gear locking keeps the nozzle precisely aimed at the target even during prolonged water discharge at high flow rates.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions — Fire Monitors
A fire monitor (also called a fire water monitor or firefighting monitor) is a large-flow, manually aimed or remotely controlled nozzle device for direct attack on fires at distances of 60–85 m. Unlike a sprinkler, which automatically discharges water through many small heads over a protected area, a fire monitor delivers a concentrated high-flow stream (typically 20–80 L/s) from a single, directable nozzle. Monitors are used where sprinkler systems cannot reach, or where a fast, high-volume direct attack is needed — such as petrochemical fires, LNG spills or aircraft incidents.
The PL Series is a foam-water combined monitor — it can discharge either water or a foam-water mixture, making it suitable for Class B (flammable liquid) fire applications such as petroleum tank farms and chemical plants. The PS Series is a water-only monitor designed for general industrial, warehouse, and infrastructure fire protection where a foam system is not required. Both series are available in manual handle and worm-gear drive variants across overlapping flow ranges (24–80 L/s).
A handle-operated monitor is rotated horizontally and elevated by direct manual pressure on the handle — quick to aim, simple to operate, and suitable for most flow rates. A worm-gear (turbine-worm) monitor uses a geared handwheel mechanism that provides much greater mechanical advantage and, critically, self-locks in position. At higher flow rates (≥40 L/s), nozzle reaction forces make it difficult to hold a handle-operated monitor on target; the worm-gear lock prevents the monitor from drifting under these forces. Worm-gear monitors are therefore recommended for PS10/50W and above or any installation where the monitor must remain unattended at a fixed aim point.
The standard PS and PL Series monitors are manufactured in stainless steel (SS 304 or SS 316 on request), which provides excellent corrosion resistance for outdoor and coastal environments. The PS10-80W-L portable fire monitor uses an aluminium alloy body for reduced weight and easy field handling. Internal waterways are smooth-bore for minimal friction loss and maximum flow efficiency.
Yes. The RCFM electric remote control fire monitor can be integrated with fire detection and alarm systems via dry contact or digital I/O interface. When a detector triggers an alarm, the system can automatically activate the monitor, drive it to a pre-programmed azimuth/elevation, and open the supply valve — all without operator intervention. Manual override from the remote control panel is retained at all times. For tunnels and LNG facilities this automated response mode is often a project specification requirement.
CA-FIRE fire monitors are manufactured under ISO 9001 quality management. The PS and PL Series are designed and tested in accordance with Chinese national standard GB 15746 (Fire Monitors) and are compatible with installations specified to NFPA 15 (Water Spray Fixed Systems), NFPA 11 (Foam Systems) and API standards for petrochemical applications. Test certificates and full technical submittals are available for every product upon request.
There is no minimum order quantity — CA-FIRE supplies single units for project replacement as well as bulk OEM orders. Standard lead time for stocked models is 7–15 working days ex-factory Fujian. For custom specifications (special flanges, non-standard flow rates, OEM branding, electric drive configuration) lead time is typically 20–35 working days.
