01.07.2026 12:58

An Above Ground Fire Hydrant is a firefighting device connected to the water distribution network, providing firefighters and fire protection systems with quick and reliable access to pressurized water during emergencies. Since it is installed above ground level, it is highly visible and easily accessible.

Above Ground Fire Hydrants are widely used in municipal water networks, industrial facilities, industrial zones, airports, ports, storage terminals, power plants and large residential or commercial developments to ensure effective fire protection.

Manufactured in accordance with international standards, they provide high water flow capacity, reliable sealing performance and long service life.
