A Fire Hydrant System is a crucial firefighting solution designed to provide a continuous water supply to extinguish fires in large buildings, industries, commercial spaces, and high-risk areas. At New Tech Fire Engineers, we specialize in the design, installation, testing, and maintenance of high-performance fire hydrant systems that meet NFPA, BIS, and ISI standards.

🚒 What is a Fire Hydrant System?

A fire hydrant system is a pressurized water distribution network consisting of pipes, valves, and hydrant outlets strategically placed to enable firefighters or trained personnel to quickly access water and fight fires. It is ideal for factories, warehouses, residential societies, commercial buildings, and industrial plants.

🛠️ Components of a Fire Hydrant System

🔥 1. Fire Water Tank

  • Stores a large quantity of water for firefighting

  • Can be underground or overhead

  • Capacity as per fire safety regulations

🔥 2. Fire Pump Set

  • Ensures adequate water pressure to hydrants

  • Types: Diesel Pump, Jockey Pump, Electric Pump

  • Automatic activation when needed

🔥 3. Hydrant Valve / Landing Valve

  • Allows firefighters to connect hoses and access water

  • Available in single and double outlet configurations

🔥 4. Hose Pipes & Nozzles

  • High-pressure hoses transport water to the fire

  • Branch pipe nozzles control the water flow and spray pattern

🔥 5. Fire Brigade Inlet (FBC) & Riser Pipes

  • Fire Brigade Connections allow external water supply in emergencies

  • Riser pipes carry water to higher floors in multi-story buildings

🔥 6. Fire Sprinkler System (Optional Integration)

  • Can be linked with hydrant systems for automatic water discharge

  • Ideal for factories, hotels, and warehouses

🔥 Types of Fire Hydrant Systems

✅ Wet Riser System – Always filled with water, ready for immediate use in high-rise buildings.

✅ Dry Riser System – Pipes are dry and filled with water when needed, used for tall buildings.

✅ External Hydrant System – Hydrants placed outside buildings for firefighting access.

✅ Internal Hydrant System – Installed within buildings for quick water access during fire emergencies
