Double Hydrant Valve SS ISI

A fire hydrant, also called a fireplug, fire pump or simply pump, is a connection point by which firefighters can tap into a water supply. It is a component of active fire protection.

Operation:-

• The user attaches a hose to the fire hydrant, then opens a valve on the hydrant to provide a powerful flow of water.
• User will have to connect the hose with Delivery Coupling. A user should take care not to open or close a fire hydrant too quickly, as this can cause a water hammer, which can damage nearby pipes and equipment.
• When operating a hydrant, a firefighter typically wears appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves and a helmet with face shield worn.
• High-pressure water coursing through a potentially ageing and corroding hydrant could cause a failure, injuring the firefighter operating the hydrant or bystanders.
