A fire hydrant system is a safety measure that provides a water source for firefighters to use during a fire. It consists of a network of pipes that connect to the water supply main and provide water to each hydrant outlet.
The main components of a fire hydrant system are: Fire hydrants, Fire hoses, Valves, Breeching inlets. Fire hydrants are also known as fireplugs or firecocks. They are a connection point that allows firefighters to access a water supply. Fire hydrants can be used to access water directly from the local mains supply to provide water for firefighting. They can also be used to refill the tank in a fire fighting appliance. When operating a fire hydrant, it is important to turn the valve slowly to avoid sudden surges of water. This is important to prevent water hammer impacts down the line.
