Fire Hydrants
Fire Hydrants
(OP)
I have a question related to Fire Hydrants. I always design a Sprinkler system for a building without bothering about a Fire Hydrant. I just Calculate the Demand Flow and Demand Pressure, Check the availability of the required pressure on City water and then decide to have a Fire pump. I want to know what considerations should I make for Fire Hydrants (if any). Any Previous thread on this topic will be a great help. Thanks in advance





RE: Fire Hydrants
If not the only thing I know is if the ahj has a distance requirent of hydrant to FDc.
Then sometimes the sprinkler designer gets involved with FDc or fire hydrant placement
RE: Fire Hydrants
My Post on Other Thread is quite similar to this. Please co-operate.
RE: Fire Hydrants
We have a required distance from fire hydrant to an FDc
Hopefully this is taken care of during project conception
But if we get sprinkler plans and the fire hydrant is shown out if range.
A comment is given back to correct
This could be done by adjusting the location of the FDc,or fire hydrant

Hydrants for private use, like in an industrial site, could fall in the scope of NFPA 14, i.e. to provide hose stations or connections, so you have to guarantee certain hydraulic onditions or fire scenario, which may or may not involve other fixed systems like sprinklers, like in a combined system.
