Spanish term or phrase: cadena zincada
Buenos días,

Espero que puedan ayudarme con un término al inglés: “cadena zincada”, relacionado con el sistema de extinción contra incendios de un edificio. Tengo una duda, ¿“raser” debe ser “riser”? Muchas gracias:

Señalética: Se debe considerar la señalética corresspondiente para individualizar los Raser de los Manifold y Sala de Bombas.

Estos deberán ser de plástico duro flexibles resistentes al agua, colgados por medio de una cadena zincada, con las siguiientes dimensiones:”

zinc plated


Explanation:
That's what one of chain manufaturer client uses in the States. They reserve the term "coated" to things like "vinyl-coated wire". We spent all of last week working on their catalog (you can't imagine how many different types of chains there are.)

  -> Wrong. galvanised = zincado/a, in the absence of geolinguistic context yet to be provided by don Giovanni.
