A Dry Riser Inlet ( Wikipedia) is a inlet to a network of pipes which are normally dry. The inlet splits into several pipes which lead to outlets on each level of the building. This avoids running hoses up the stairwell of tall buildings. In some countries this is considered an obsolete technology[1] and in other countries it is no longer allowed[2][3]. It is sometimes called a Dry Standpipe, although the term Standpipe has multiple meanings in firefighting.
