thinner bolts. Such a connection enables breakage of hydrant without damaging it and resulting water outflow. Special flanges enable free rotation of the ground part of the hydrant from 0° to 360°. There is a special articulation spindle inside the hydrant, in the connection area of the above ground and underground part of the hydrant.

4 ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION 4.1 INSTALLATION GUIDELINES Above-ground fire hydrants TYPE 8003 may be installed on underground pipelines in case of horizontal systems. The products described herein are designed for installation using flange on the pipeline acting as medium (water) supply. The hydrant is equipped with special flanges to enable free above-ground part's rotation ο...
4.2 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Before installing the hydrants, check the technical and commercial documentation, i.e. application for media and operation parameters of the pipeline, in which they are to be installed. Note! If the product is damaged mechanically, do not install it in the pipeline. Any change in the operating conditions must be consulted with the hydrant's manufacturer beforehand.
4.3 OPERATION The outdoor hydrants are designed for drawing fire fighting water. Detailed requirements are given in applicable regulations defining the need for fire fighting water. The diagram above shows an example installation method for an above-ground hydrant, the installation method largely depends on the applied rules based on the local climate and geologic conditions.
