Last month we installed three of our deployable bridge mounted dry fire hydrants in the Town of Strafford, New Hampshire. The swivel mount design has a reduced environmental impact since nothing resides in the water; the system is only deployed into the water when needed. The photos shown in this News Story are from our first installation in Strafford at the bridge on Huckins Road where we used our abutment saddle bracket design to support the swivel and cradle. The saddle design requires no drilling or bolting into the concrete wall or bridge deck - which is another favorable design feature.

The design uses schedule 40 PVC pipe and a shallow water teardrop style strainer. When lift is under 12-feet, a flow of 1,000 gpm is generally available.
