Standpipes & Fire Fittings
Standpipes connect to underground fire hydrants to provide a supply of pressurised water. Versions offered are single or double headed standpipes with or without a double check valve. Hydrant keys turn the water supply on and are used in conjunction with standpipes. Our hydrant flow gauge plugs into the standpipe to check the water flow rate in the mains. Other fire brigade fittings shown here distribute or collect water as required and suction strainers filter out solid material from the water supply.
