Exercise:

The purpose of this exercise is to identify the physical status of all fire hydrant outlets on site and to identify any faults.

Main identified problems to date:

1. The height of the hydrants varies and means if installed too low, we will potentially kink hose lines and lose pressure.2. The caps are stuck inside the outlet and will not release due to rust, dirt, dried grease.3. Hydrant caps show strike marks where hit as somebody attempted to open it, this has left sharp edges which could cut fingers4. Hydrants appear rusty and old, paint has chipped off exposing bare metal which is corroding.5. Caps are missing, chains are missing.6. Valve wheels are installed on outlet side, meaning operator stands in front of outlets with danger of facial strike of hose / water7. Valve is not a butterfly valve with quick release ratchet handle, but a wheel gate valve.8. Hydrant outlets pointing away from protected risk / area, not directed towards risk. 180 reverse turn will kink hose lines.9. The manifold height exceeds 600mm so hose may kink unless supported.10. There are no Tag Numbers on the hydrants / manifolds, so difficult to identify process area units. Record: Your site – MPS, IPS, MOT.

Unit Tag / Location: Identify all problems. If not tagged, find nearest building or equipment opposite which is tagged.

Type: Hydrants have 2 or 4 x 2.5in connections, Manifolds have 2 or 4 x 12in large diameter hose connections

Ground Clearance: The height from the bottom of the hydrant / manifold outlet to the ground. This will vary on each unit!

Caps & Chains: Are all caps and their retaining chains present and firmly attached.

Caps stuck: From 1-4 hydrant outlets, which ones are stuck? (Do not strike any to free them, just record problems).

Visible rust damage: Note any scars, sharp edges or heavy rust damage.

Vehicle Impact: Confirm if the hydrant has been protected by vehicle impact barriers or not. Identify ‘high risk’ units.

OK If everything is OK, mark a √ in the box.
