What a strange type of hydrant! Been collecting hydrants for years.. Never seen one like this 👆 I don't know what the advantage is to remove the main pumper to remove the two and a half inch caps.. And the top stem to open this is another question ⁉️ This hydrant would take more time to operate than a standard one.. I hope y'all are training the firefighters out there too... Otherwise you might be in trouble putting out a fire 🔥🔥🔥!
The water company also needs hydrants in their system to keep out sediment and flush their system whether they get paid or not. Sounds like Suez is making out like a bandit
The house will be burnt to the ground by the time you get the hydrant hooked up! And why in the world would a city rent a hydrant when you can buy them! No wonder our taxes are so high!!!
That’s why we are training on the news hydrant. To answer about the rental. - we are not a city, we are a fire district. The water system is a private business (Suez). We pay a rental to Suez for each hydrant; this included maintenance and upkeep etc . We aren’t actually going out and renting a hydrant ourselves and hooking it into a water main.
Yeah that's a weird way to waste your taxes! Who knows who designed this ridiculous style of hydrant! Probably a democratic.. Since they're so stupid anyway!
The operating nut controls a stem which goes down to the frost line; in theory hydrants only freeze when the riser pipe to the hydrant itself isn’t draining properly.
what a crappy designe need to use 2 inch takes off front cover then side then slides this out to man things old ones remove cap turn bolt.. i see a waste of money and time
The hydrant has nothing to do with the flow of water coming out of the nasal. If you open that 3 inch flow you get as much water out as it will allow depending on if you opened it 1/4 , 1/2 to full. What a poor sales man.
Looks nice but more things to forget or lose. Having to remove then install again then remove to operate the side connections is a lot of extra steps.

8:40 Sigelock offers Storz connectors on the hydrant instead of NST. Interesting that the hoses require the adapter.
Someone with an office job must have designed this
It was designed by a firefighter
It was designed by a former NYC firefighter.
What they pay for in rent per year on each hydrant will purchase the hydrant. Something to consider for the city.
We do not have a municipally owned water system. Our water company is a private business. There is no option to purchase a hydrant

Looks like the tamper locks are a big time waster for firefighters. And time either saves lives or takes them away.

haha this company was a fad startup in 2010. I can't believe there are still any still in service lmao
How about a hydrant with multiple nozzle connectors, each with it's own water valve?
This new hydrant sucks.
what about ice and snow they better come with a heating system

They work like a dry barrel fire hydrant, water won't freeze

This is a design created by a pencil pushing office moron who probably has NOOO idea about fire hydrants!
Can't believe it was patented 😫
Terrible

Salesman? These are the hydrants that our water company is installing in our area.
No, different hydrant and any type of valve has residual loss in flow. They have designs that can reduce loss. What your referring to is pressure.
Not the best looking actor LOL
