Outdoor Hydrants - Your First Line of Defense Against Fire

Read about outdoor hydrants - those silent guards that stand guard over our safety. Our clients often come to us with the question: "I need an outdoor hydrant, but I don't know which one to choose!"? Well, that's why I'm here to explain it all to you.

Why are outdoor hydrants so important?

Is an outdoor hydrant really something to worry about? Trust me, it's no ordinary piece of metal! In my experience, a well-chosen outdoor hydrant can be the difference between a minor incident and a full-blown disaster. That's no exaggeration!

• Safety - provide quick access to water in case of fire
• Compliance with regulations - often required by building regulations
• Durability - made of durable materials, they last for years
• Ease of use - designed to work quickly and efficiently
• Versatility - useful not only in emergency situations, but also for watering urban greenery, for example

Outdoor hydrants - overview of key models

Okay, let's get down to business. We have several models of outdoor hydrants in our offer. But what does that actually mean and how do you choose the right one?

HN3 DN80 H=2150mm PN10   is my personal favorite for standard installations. It has a diameter of 80 mm and a height of 2150 mm, which is sufficient for most cases. You know what's best about it? It's as reliable as a Swiss watch!

For higher installations I recommend   HN3 DN80 H=2450mm PN10 . Those extra 30cm can make a huge difference if you have deep pipes!

If you need something really strong,   HN3 DN100 H=2150mm PN16   it's a bullseye! The larger diameter and higher operating pressure make it ideal for more demanding applications.

What do you think about   HP6 DN80 H=1250mm PN10 – This is our compact hero, ideal for places with limited space.

We also have flexible and rigid hydrants of the UNO brand.   UNO angled DN80 PN16 H=2350mm (Rd=1500mm)   is a great solution if you are afraid of mechanical damage. A   UNO rigid DN80 PN16 H=2350mm (Rd=1500mm) ? This is a classic at its best!

How to choose the perfect outdoor hydrant?

Now we come to the most important issue - the selection of a hydrant. Do you know what is crucial? Answering a few simple questions:

1. What is your water pressure? This will affect the choice of PN10 or PN16 model.

2. What is the ground frost depth in your area? This determines the height of the hydrant.

3. What are your performance requirements? This will influence your choice of DN80 or DN100.

4. Will the hydrant be subject to mechanical damage? If so, consider a folding model.

In my experience, there is no one perfect hydrant for everyone. It all depends on the specifics of your installation and local requirements. But don't worry, I'll help you choose!

When it comes to brands,   Bohamet - Fittings   and   Havel   are the top of the market. Personally, I love Bohamet for their reliability and Hawle for their innovative solutions. You won't regret choosing any of them!

Remember, a good outdoor hydrant is not an expense - it is an investment in the safety of your neighborhood. Choose wisely, and you will sleep soundly, knowing that you are prepared for any eventuality. See you at the wholesaler!
