Hydrants and Extinguishing Water Outlet Points
Hydrants are used by the fire brigade and rescue services on-site to retrieve extinguishing water. However, pillar hydrants can also be used as an emergency water supply.
The selection of a suitable system depends on a wide range of different factors. ACCURO offers complete fire protection solutions to its renowned customers in system and power plant construction and is therefore well-versed in this complex field. Many years of experience have allowed us to build-up excellent credentials and broad expertise.
Pillar hydrants (see images) are most commonly used. In case of spatial constraints, underground hydrants are assembled and completely sunk into the ground.
The models may be different depending on country specifications. In most cases, every pillar hydrant has two to three valves. The main valve is operated in the middle. This is attached deep within the hydrant to protect against frost. A side valve is located on both the left and the right. On the side valves, couplings are used to connect the fire brigade hoses (e.g. Storz couplings). After opening the main valve, the water will flow to the side valves and will only be released once the side valve has been opened.
