Amapayipi omliloZiyingxenye ebalulekile yengqalasizinda yethu yokuphepha emlilweni kazwelonke. Zisetshenziswa yiqembu labacishi bomlilo ukuthola amanzi avela emithonjeni emikhulu yendawo. Zitholakala kakhulu ezindleleni zomphakathi noma emigwaqweni emikhulu ngokuvamile zifakwa, ziphathwe futhi zinakekelwe yizinkampani zamanzi noma iziphathimandla zomlilo zendawo. Kodwa-ke, umaamapayipi omlilozitholakala endaweni yangasese noma yezentengiselwano, umthwalo wokulungisa ungowakho. Amapayipi okushisa umlilo angaphansi komhlaba adinga ukuhlolwa njalo nokugcinwa ngokuhambisana ne-BS 9990. Lokhu kuqinisekisa ukuthi azosebenza esimweni esiphuthumayo okuvumela i-fire brigade ukuthi ixhume amapayipi ayo eduze komlilo ukuze ifinyelele amanzi kalula.

Ingaphandle Elimanziipayipi lomliloiyisikhungo sokuhlinzeka ngamanzi esixhunywe nenethiwekhi yesistimu yokulwa nomlilo ngaphandle kwesakhiwo. Isetshenziselwa ukuhlinzeka ngamanzi ezinjini zomlilo ezivela kunethiwekhi yokuhlinzeka ngamanzi kamasipala noma kunethiwekhi yamanzi yangaphandle lapho kungekho khona ingozi yezingozi zezimoto noma isimo sezulu esibandayo. Kungcono ukusetshenziswa ezitolo ezinkulu, ezikhungweni zokuthenga, emakolishi, ezibhedlela, njll. Ingaxhunywa futhi kuma-nozzles ukuvimbela umlilo.
