GENERAL:
“AE” Type 2 screw-down type underground fire hydrant is manufactured within a strict quality controlled environment to ISO 9001 : 2008, conforming to the requirements of BS750 : 2006 standard. Each and every fire hydrant is subjected to a hydraulic test pressure of 326 PSI . The inlet connection of the fire hydrant is 80mm dia BS4504 PN16 flange and the outlet is a single 65mm dia Male LVT or LRT screw.
The opening of the valve seat is by turning the spindle cap anti-clockwise using a hydrant key and bar. The underground hydrant outlet is fitted with a plastic cap, held in place by a short length of galvanised chain.
This outlet is generally connected to a standpipe having a single or double female instantaneous outlets for direct connection to the fire hose coupling.
