Fire Hydrant

Mainly divided into above-ground fire hydrants and underground fire hydrants.

Types of Fire Hydrants:

Above-Ground Fire Hydrant:

●Installed above ground, allowing
   firefighters to connect hoses
   directly for water access during
   a fire.

 

●Pipelines are easily visible and
    convenient for inspection and
    maintenance.

 

●Quick and easy to operate; most
    commonly used in urban areas
    and outdoor spaces.

  

 

●Clearly marked for rapid location
    during emergencies.

 

Features:

●Easy to inspect and maintain, with
    quick troubleshooting.

 

●Less likely to be covered or
    obstructed; suitable for roads,
    plazas, and industrial areas.

 

●High safety, allowing immediate
    water access.

Above-Ground Fire Hydrant with Air Release Valve:

● Same as a standard above-ground
  fire hydrant, but includes an air
  release valve
.

 

●Same as a standard above-ground
    fire hydrant, but includes an air
    release valve
.

 

●Expels air from the pipeline when
    the water supply system starts,
    preventing air blockages that
    reduce water flow.

 

●Suitable for long pipelines or areas
    with significant elevation changes,
    improving water supply stability.

 

Features:

●Air release function enhances water
   supply efficiency and firefighting
   performance.

 

●Reduces water flow instability and
    delayed discharge.

 

●Ideal for hillside areas, elevated
    pipelines, or long-distance water
    supply systems.

 

Underground Fire Hydrant:

●Installed below ground, inside
    manholes or underground chambers.

 

●Saves above-ground visual space;
    often used in urban roads or areas
    unsuitable for above-ground
    hydrants.

 

●To access water, the surface cover
    must be opened before connecting
    hoses.

 

Features:

●Preserves the landscape, suitable
    for sidewalks and landscaped areas.

 

●Less prone to vehicle impact,
    enhancing durability.

 

●Requires periodic cleaning of
   sediment and standing water;

   maintenance is slightly more
   involved than above-ground
   hydrants.

 

●Water access is slower than above
    -ground hydrants, as the cover must
    be opened first.
