Here are a few photos and a video clip from one of our bridge-mount dry fire hydrant installations that we completed back in 2017 in Carroll County, MD. This installation used our angle-mount bracket assembly and produced a flow in excess of 1,000 gpm due to the limited lift and a 1500 gpm pumper in good working condition. The bridge was owned by the County and the stream provided sufficient flow to support installation of the system. We have quite a number of these installations across seven states along the East Coast.

Lift is always a "must" that must be evaluated. ideally, keeping lift under 15-ft produces the better outcomes.
