Illustration for reference; see the product page for actual photos and specifications.

Fire fighting pipe price depends on the selected standard, diameter, wall thickness, manufacturing method, end preparation, and surface finish. Our ASTM A53 and BS 1387 firefighting pipe range covers wet, dry, preaction, main, pump, standpipe, and sprinkler branch applications, with selection based on the project specification rather than price alone.

01

Fire suppression system and surface finish: red-painted pipe for wet-pipe sprinkler systems, and galvanized pipe for wet, dry, and preaction sprinkler systems.

02

Standard, construction, and dimensions: compare ASTM A53, BS 1387, ERW or seamless construction, outside diameter from 21 to 508 mm, and wall thickness from 1 to 20 mm.

03

Connection and project use: select grooved, threaded, or beveled ends for the planned fittings and identify whether the pipe is for a fire main, pump pipe, standpipe, or sprinkler branch.

Fire fighting pipe price is meaningful only after the pipe specification is fixed. Our firefighting pipe range includes ASTM A53 and BS 1387 options, with seamless and ERW construction, outside diameters from 21 to 508 mm, and wall thicknesses from 1 to 20 mm. The right choice depends on the suppression system, required dimensions, connection method, and surface treatment.

Start with the sprinkler system

Red-painted steel pipe suits wet-pipe sprinkler systems. Galvanized pipe suits wet and dry-pipe systems, including preaction systems. This is the first filter for a buyer comparing fire fighting pipe price, because the surface finish must match the installation environment and system design.

For a wet-pipe project, our red-painted pipe is the practical starting point when the project calls for visible fire-service piping. For dry or preaction piping, select the galvanized option. The product range also includes black-painted surfaces for specifications that call for that finish.

Fix the standard and construction

ASTM A53 ERW steel pipe is available as Type E, Grade B, with Sch 10 and Sch 40 dimensions to ASME B36.10M. ASTM A53 Type S steel pipe is available as Grade B, with Sch 40 and Sch 80 dimensions. These are separate specification paths, so the quoted pipe should identify the standard, type, grade, and schedule.

BS 1387 welded steel tube is available in light, medium, and heavy classes. Other options in the range include ASTM A795, ASTM A106, ASTM A135, and EN 10255 or EN 10216-1 products. We recommend sending the project standard with the inquiry so we can price the correct product instead of comparing unlike pipe grades.

Check dimensions before comparing offers

Outside diameters range from 21 to 508 mm, and wall thicknesses range from 1 to 20 mm. A buyer should provide the required nominal size, outside diameter where applicable, wall thickness or schedule, total quantity, and pipe length requirement when requesting fire fighting pipe price.

A main pipe or pump pipe normally has a different sizing requirement from a sprinkler branch. Our range covers fire mains, fire pump pipes, fire standpipes, and fire sprinkler branch pipes, but the selection still needs to follow the project drawings and hydraulic design. For a real installation, compare the pipe size with the connection schedule and the route through the plant or building before placing an order.

Match the pipe ends to installation

We supply grooved, threaded, and beveled pipe ends. Grooved ends suit systems designed for grooved couplings. Threaded ends suit threaded fittings, while beveled ends are used where the project requires welded connections. The end preparation changes the usable specification and should be included in the price request.

Picture a pump-room replacement: a grooved pipe order must match the coupling and fitting schedule already selected for the line. For a new standpipe or main, the drawings should identify where threaded, grooved, or beveled ends are required. Sending that information with the quantity helps us prepare a comparable quotation.

Choose the product for your buyer situation

Choose our ASTM A53 ERW pipe when the project requires Type E, Grade B construction with Sch 10 or Sch 40 dimensions and the specified connection and finish. Choose our ASTM A53 Type S steel pipe when the project calls for Grade B with Sch 40 or Sch 80 dimensions. Choose BS 1387 pipe when the project specification uses light, medium, or heavy classes under that standard.

For wet systems, select the red-painted finish when that is the specified arrangement. For dry, wet, or preaction systems, select galvanized pipe where the project calls for that surface treatment. Our product range also includes fire pipe options with UL-listed or FM-approved certificates for applicable products, so the required certificate should be named in the inquiry.

What to send for an accurate price

Send the project location, applicable standard, pipe type and grade, nominal size or outside diameter, wall thickness or schedule, surface finish, pipe ends, quantity, and required certificate. Include whether the pipe is for a fire main, pump line, standpipe, or sprinkler branch. These details let us compare the same specification across quotations and avoid a low price based on a different pipe configuration.

For a quotation from Beijing Sinoworld Steel Material Co., Ltd., send the material schedule or drawings together with the quantity and delivery requirement. We can then identify the suitable ASTM A53 or BS 1387 option and prepare the price against the actual installation specification.
