Fire Hydrant System — The Backbone of Fire Protection

A Fire Hydrant System is one of the most reliable and effective firefighting solutions for large buildings, industries, and complexes.
It provides continuous high-pressure water through a network of pipes, valves, and hydrant outlets to control and extinguish fires quickly and efficiently.

At FireFelixon, we design, supply, and install BIS-approved Fire Hydrant Systems that meet National Building Code (NBC) and IS:3844 standards, ensuring maximum protection for life and property.

Uninterrupted Water Supply for Complete Fire Control

How the Fire Hydrant System Works

A fire hydrant system operates on a simple but powerful principle —
when a fire breaks out, water from the main pump or overhead tank is delivered through pressurized pipelines to hydrant valves installed at key points across the premises.
Firefighters or trained personnel can instantly connect hoses to these outlets for immediate firefighting action.

The system ensures 24/7 readiness, providing a constant source of high-pressure water even in large or multi-storey buildings.

A standard Fire Hydrant System includes the following components:

🔹 Fire Water Pump Set – main pump, jockey pump, and diesel pump to maintain pressure and backup supply.
🔹 Hydrant Valves (Landing Valves) – outlets installed at strategic locations for hose connection.
🔹 Hoses & Branch Pipes – deliver water from hydrant valves to the fire source.
🔹 Piping Network – underground and above-ground galvanized iron (GI) pipes for water distribution.
🔹 Fire Hose Reel Drums – used for first response inside buildings.
🔹 Pressure Gauges & Control Panels – monitor and control system performance.
🔹 Water Storage Tank – dedicated fire water reservoir to ensure adequate supply.
🔹 Accessories – nozzles, couplings, hydrant standposts, and hose boxes.

Main Components of a Fire Hydrant System

Types of Fire Hydrant Systems

Depending on building layout and requirements:

Wet Riser System – always charged with pressurized water; suitable for high-rise buildings.
Dry Riser System – empty pipes filled with water only when needed; used in low-temperature areas.
External / Yard Hydrant System – installed around industrial plants or large premises for external firefighting.
Combined System – integrates both riser and yard hydrants for full-coverage protection.

Fire Hydrant Systems are essential in:

🏢 Commercial Complexes – malls, offices, hotels
🏫 Institutional Buildings – schools, hospitals, universities
🏭 Industrial Plants & Warehouses – factories, logistics hubs, and refineries
🏠 Residential Towers & Societies – high-rise apartments and gated communities
🏗️ Infrastructure Projects – airports, metro stations, and power plants
