Above-Ground Fire Hydrant

Above-Ground Fire Hydrant

Product Code: MD-VLV-0051

Features: The hydrant outlets are located above ground. | Designed and manufactured in accordance with EN 14384. | Quick and easy to operate. The hydrant is opened and closed by turning the operating spindle in the head clockwise with a hydrant key. | Available in different installation lengths. | After use, residual water in the hydrant is discharged through the drain valve. | In cold weather the hydrant must be fully closed so that internal water can drain through the drain valves and cannot freeze. During installation, ensure that the drain openings can discharge freely. | Ductile-iron body and stainless-steel operating spindle. | For easier servicing, the surrounding backfill should include gravel or other free-draining material. | All body and cover-plate components are protected with fusion-bonded powder epoxy coating. | Before installation, flush the pipeline with compressed air or water and install a strainer in the inlet line to prevent debris entering the hydrant. | Two water outlets with aluminum caps. | When opening the hydrant, remove one aluminum cap to allow trapped air to escape. Applications: Fire-fighting systems
