ABSTRACT:
The installation comprises at least one hose connected by a turning joint to a conduit for distributing an extinguishing fluid. The hose can pivot from a vertical monitoring position to a horizontal position of use around an axis of the conduit. The maintenance in monitoring position is assured by a mechanical attachment affixed between the wall and the hose. A latching element slides away from the opening of the outlet of the hose. An unlatching element has a surface positioned along the trajectory of flow of the fluid in the hose, in a manner such that the flow of fluid towards the exterior of the hose axially displaces the unlatching element towards an unlatched position in which the mechanical linkage attachment between the hose and the wall is broken. The hose can then pivot towards its position of use to spray the zone of the fire.
