Installation of fire hydrants

This standard was prepared by the Association's Committee on Fire Hydrant Installations.

The standard provides rules for the installation of fire hydrants within properties.

It does not include hydrants which are installed by water supply authorities on street mains.

Hydrants on properties may be installed and equipped for use by the occupier in the early stages of a fire . However, particularly in the case of larger low-rise installations and high-rise installations, the hydrant installation will be used by fire brigade personnel.
