FAQs

Why would I fit a locking wheel to a fire hydrant?
A locking wheel restricts who can operate the hydrant, helping prevent unauthorised use, tampering or vandalism while still allowing emergency services and authorised personnel access when needed.

What is a hydrant landing valve used for?
A landing valve is fitted to a hydrant riser to allow fire brigade hoses to be connected and the water supply controlled at that point, and it's a key component of a compliant hydrant system.

How often do fire hydrant systems and fittings need to be inspected?
Fire hydrant systems in Australia are generally subject to routine inspection and testing schedules under AS 1851 (Routine service of fire protection systems and equipment), so fittings like wheels, caps and valves should be checked as part of that program.

Should I choose brass or aluminium fittings?
Brass fittings, such as the hose reel nozzle, offer good corrosion resistance for regularly used components, while aluminium caps are lightweight and suited to fittings that are mostly left in place to protect the hydrant outlet.
