There are two main types of fire hydrants provided by FIRETECH:
• Wet Barrel Hydrant:
This type of hydrant is common in areas where temperatures don't drop below freezing. In this hydrant, the main valve is located at the bottom of the hydrant and the Barrel is always filled with water.
• Dry Barrel Hydrant:
This type of hydrant is commonly found in areas where temperatures drop below freezing. In this type of hydrant, the main valve is located below the frost line and the cylinder is kept dry when not in use to prevent freezing. Only turn on the water supply when using a fire hydrant.
