Frequently Asked Questions

A fire hydrant valve is a crucial component in firefighting systems, allowing firefighters to connect hoses and control the water flow from a hydrant to combat fires efficiently.

Common types include pillar hydrant valves, underground hydrant valves, landing valves, and pressure-reducing hydrant valves. Each type serves different firefighting applications and water supply needs.

The valve connects to the water supply and, when opened, allows high-pressure water to flow through a hose or standpipe, which is then used for firefighting or emergency water distribution.

They are typically constructed from gunmetal, brass, stainless steel, or ductile iron, ensuring durability and corrosion resistance in harsh environments.

Most fire hydrant valves are rated between 10 to 20 bar, but high-pressure valves may exceed this depending on the system requirements.

Fire hydrant valves should undergo annual inspections to check for leaks, blockages, pressure issues, and general wear and tear. Regular maintenance ensures they function properly in emergencies.

Yes, in some cases, they are used for industrial water distribution, construction site water supply, and emergency water access in urban areas.

A pressure-reducing valve is designed to control and regulate water pressure, ensuring it does not exceed safe operational levels, especially in high-rise buildings or areas with strong water supply pressure.

Different countries have specific standards and regulations, such as BS 5041 (UK), AWWA C502 (USA), and IS 5290 (India), ensuring hydrant valves meet safety and performance criteria.

To use a hydrant valve:

  1. Remove the protective cap (if applicable).
  2. Connect the fire hose securely.
  3. Turn the valve wheel or lever counterclockwise to open and release water.
  4. Control the flow as needed and turn it clockwise to close after use.

Yes, lockable fire hydrant valves and tamper-proof designs are available to prevent unauthorised access, ensuring water is reserved for emergency use.

They are strategically placed in public areas, commercial buildings, industrial sites, and high-risk fire zones to ensure quick access for firefighting teams.
