Fire Hydrants
As an organization that is at the forefront of providing robust firefighting equipment, Safequip is committed to ensuring our solutions assist in streamlining operational processes and safety at various sites.
Fire hydrants would require extensive maintenance and thus, proper inspections would need to be implemented. Depending on the type of fire hydrant utilized in the specific context, hydrants would require a specific mechanism of inspection. As an illustrative example, dry-barrel fire hydrants would require two inspections per year, whereas other fire hydrants such as standpipes would require a different set of inspection processes.
A key question to address is the typical indications of when a fire hydrant may require inspection. The water pressure and flow rate would need to be measured and the results should be recorded for traceability purposes.
Testing a fire hydrant would require the technical expertise of a professional manufacturer and distributor such as Safequip. Typical processes would include positioning the different flows, attaching a gauge, recording static pressure readings, and attaching a pilot gauge to the flow hydrant.
Specific clearances and standards should be adhered to. Some illustrative examples of this would be the circumference of the fire hydrant, clearances of the fire hydrant, and color codes to name a few. Safequip has a reputation for enhancing quality through top-tier materials and fire hydrant processes.
