Fire Hydrant

Materials

About this detail

A fire hydrant connects via a six-inch ductile iron pipe and gate valve to a mechanical joint tee. A concrete thrust block bears against four square feet of undisturbed material to resist lateral forces at the fittings, secured with four three-quarter-inch threaded rods and nuts. The assembly rests on a precast block and valve support, surrounded by half a cubic yard of crushed stone for hydrant drainage. The valve box is capped with a concrete pad, and the pumper nozzle is positioned to face the street at a ninety-degree angle.
