Hydrants, fire service lines and the underground pipe that feeds sprinkler systems, installed to the standards fire officials expect.
Hydrants and fire lines are the part of the water system people hope never to use. They also face the strictest inspection. A hydrant has to sit at the right height and distance from the curb, drain properly and be reachable, and a fire service line must be pressure tested before anyone covers it.
We install hydrants with their tees, valves and restrained pipe, and underground fire lines that feed buildings and sprinkler systems. Work follows the plans approved by the water utility and the fire marshal, and we schedule the required inspections and tests before the trench is closed.
A hydrant that sits too low, too high or behind a planter will fail inspection. We set the barrel height and the clearance from curbs and poles to the approved details.
Fire lines carry high pressure and sudden surges. Restrained joints, thrust blocks and a witnessed pressure test are part of the job, not extras.
A hydrant needs a stone drain pocket so the barrel empties after use. We place the stone and protect the weep holes from clogging with soil.
Hydrants need clear space around them for crews and hoses. Landscaping, fences and parked vehicles should stay out of the clearance zone, and we note the limits when the hydrant is complete.
