PILLAR HYRDANTS

PILLAR HYDRANTS

Pillar hydrant is a device connected to a pressurized water supply

designated to supply water for

firefighting during all phases of the fire.

It has a barrel which emerges from below the ground level, allowing

above ground connection of equipment for firefighting purposes.

Following customer’s speci

fication hydrant can be supplied:

– without connections: outlets are female BSP threaded. In this case the

purchaser can provide by himself the required connection;

– with connection and plug: available connections Bocciolone can

normally supply are UNI (Italian standard), DSP (French standard),

BS 336 (British standard), NH (American standard), STORZ (German

standard), GOST (Russian standard), UNE (Spanish standard).

Following customer’s requirements each hydrant can be supplied with:

– two side outlets;

– two side outlets and one front outlet for fire truck connec

tion.

Each hydrant is supplied with antifreeze drainage system. The drainage

system automatically drains the water inside the hydrant when it is closed

and prevents internal surface of the shell from corrosion. All parts of the

drainage system are made of corrosion resistant materials.

All components are in cast iron and they are duly coated to protect them

against corrosion.

Our production program includes three styles of hydrants:

Style “EUR”

Made from cast iron. It comes in two models:

– type A: without break system: recommended in the area where

hydrant cannot be hit by car or truck (such as green areas). It is

cheaper and it performs better during pressure drop test;

– type C: with break system: recommended when possibility of

collisions is believed to be more real (on the road for instance).

The break system is a mechanism which allows the above ground

part to separate from the below part when subject to impact whilst

maintaining the seal of the main valve. The hydrant is designed to

allow replacing the above part without excavation work.

Style “MONOTUBO”

Barrel is manufactured in galvanized steel, available only without break

system.

Style “66FM”

American standard: barrel in cast iron, according to AWWA C 502, UL

listed, FM approved, available only with break system.
