What are hydrant block plans?
Hydrant block plans are detailed diagrams showing the fire hydrants, isolation valves, and other relevant information to the fire hydrant system. Used by fire emergency services, these plans help determine the closest hydrants to the fire and provide additional system information to assist with extinguishing the fire. Fire service companies also reference these plans to ensure the system complies with the required flow and pressure rates. This level of detail and clarity ensures you are fully informed and prepared for any emergency.
Who Needs a Hydrant Block Plan
Hydrant block plans should be installed at each location: hydrant booster assembly, pump room, and fire control room, including new installations and older systems. Plans must be updated with system upgrades or modifications, ensuring their accuracy and effectiveness over time.
