  1. Private Fire Hydrant

  2. Fire hydrant systems (also known as fire pumps, hydrant boosters, fire water pumps) are high pressure water pumps designed to increase the fire fighting capacity of a building by boosting the pressure in the hydrant service when mains is not enough, or when tank fed. They can also be used in water transfer and irrigation applications. Fire hydrant systems (also known as fire pumps, hydrant boosters, fire water pumps) are high pressure water pumps designed to increase the fire fighting capacity of a building by boosting the pressure in the hydrant service when mains is not enough, or when tank fed. They can also be used in water transfer and irrigation applications.

  3. Type of Fire Hydrant System A fire hydrant is a connection point to a water main from which water may be taken for fire fighting purposes. On an underground main the hydrant outlet and valve may take the form of an above ground pillar or be located in an underground pit beneath a cover plate, necessitating the use of a stand pipe. For a fire main within a building outlets (landing valves) will comprise of direct hose connections with associated isolating valves. A Fire Hydrant Systems will be provided for the purpose of: The direct connection and use of hose lines for fire fighting. A supply to mobile pumps that boost the pressure to the required magnitude to supply fire fighting hose lines. Defining this purpose is a key factor in specifying the hydrant outlet pressure and flow performance criteria. The water supply to a hydrant system may be from a public water supply (town’s main) or a private supply via pumps from a stored water source.

  4. 1. Fire Main A pipe with outlets and control valves installed for the supply of fire fighting water

  5. 2. Rising Main A fire main installed within a building with outlets (landing valves) situated at specified floor levels

  6. 3. Wet Fire Main / Riser A pressurised water charged pipe with outlets to facilitate the direct connection of fire fighting hose lines. The main / riser is supplied by permanent pumps drawing water from a stored source. A wet riser is typically necessary for buildings in excess of 50m in height to overcome the increased pressure requirement.

  7. 4. Dry Fire Main / Riser A normally dry pipe into which, utilising mobile pumps, fire fighters can supply water to facilitate the direct connection of fire fighting hose lines close to the point of use.

  8. 5. Inlet / Breeching A readily accessible facility for the connection of mobile pumps to supply water into a fire main.
