Fire Protection System Castings

Non-Ferrous Sand Cast Components for Fire Suppression and Safety Systems


Riverside Foundry produces non-ferrous sand cast components used in fire protection equipment, pump assemblies, and suppression system hardware across North America.

Cast Components Used in Fire Protection Systems

Fire protection systems rely on durable mechanical components designed to perform reliably in emergency conditions.

Equipment used in fire suppression systems must operate under pressure, withstand environmental exposure, and maintain consistent performance over long service periods.
Non-ferrous alloys are commonly used in these applications because they provide corrosion resistance, durability, and stable mechanical performance.

Riverside supports production casting programs supplying equipment manufacturers that build fire protection and suppression systems.

Typical Components Produced for Fire Protection Equipment

Examples of cast components used in fire protection systems may include:

  • Sprinkler frame castings
  • valve bodies
  • valve bonnets
  • hydrant components
  • pump housings
  • pump bodies
  • impellers
  • bushings and bearings
  • mechanical housings
  • system fittings and hardware

These components are commonly used in fire suppression equipment, hydrant systems, and pump assemblies designed to operate reliably under pressure.

Many of these parts are produced using copper-based bronze or brass alloys selected for corrosion resistance and long service life in wet operating environments.

Alloys Commonly Used in Fire Protection Equipment

Fire protection components often operate in wet environments and must maintain reliability over long service periods.

Copper-based alloys are commonly specified for many of these applications due to their corrosion resistance and durability.



Typical alloys may include:

  • C83600
  • C84400
  • C89833
  • C87850

*Other options are available upon request

These alloys are commonly used for valve components, fittings and pump hardware used in fire protection equipment.

Production Capabilities Supporting Fire Protection Equipment

Production Capabilities Supporting Fire Protection Equipment

Fire protection equipment manufacturers often require repeatable production and dimensional consistency across ongoing manufacturing programs.

Riverside supports these requirements through:

  • automated green sand molding for repeat production runs
  • airset molding for larger components or complex geometries
  • in-house tooling and patternmaking

These processes allow production programs to maintain stable output while supporting equipment manufacturers supplying fire protection systems.

Supporting Equipment Manufacturers and Infrastructure Suppliers

Riverside works with manufacturers supplying components used in:

  • fire suppression systems
  • hydrant systems
  • pump assemblies
  • valve equipment
  • fire safety infrastructure
