What is a Fire Hydrant?
A fire hydrant, fireplug, or firecock is a connection point by which firefighters can tap into a water supply. It is a component of active fire protection.
Underground fire hydrants have been used in Europe and Asia since at least the 18th century. Above-ground pillar-type hydrants are a 19th-century invention.

Does South Africa have fire hydrants?
Hand wheel hydrants are probably one of the more riskier fire hydrants to install as it is quite easy for any passerby to tamper with it, and although tamperproof hydrants are available in South Africa, this does not stop people from trying to tamper with it.
What is the standard for fire hydrants in South Africa?
The Minimum Fire Flow requirement in The Red Book for the ‘high risk’ category (which is a similar category to the SANS 10090 category above) is 6 000 L/min.
The corresponding Minimum Hydrant Flow for SANS 10090 and The Red Book are 2 000 L/min and 1 500 L/min, respectively.
What are the three most common types of fire hydrants?
Dry barrel hydrants are available in three varieties: slide-gate, toggle, and compression mechanisms.
How many Liters per minute is a fire hydrant?
Minimum of 15L/sec (900L/min) through any single hydrant on the development or within a vehicular distance of 100m from the complex.
