What is the best way to maintain a fire hydrant near Florence?

Hydrants should be examined at least once a year on a regular basis. Dry-barrel fire hydrants may need two inspections each year, one in the spring and one in the fall.

An example of a proper fire hydrant maintenance examination is provided below:

  • Remove one nozzle/pumper cap and listen for main valve leaking using a listening device. 
  • Check the barrel for water or ice with a plumb-bob. 
  • Pump water out of the hydrant barrel, wait a few minutes, and then test with the plumb-bob to ensure that no water is going through the hydrant lead's valve. 
  • Replace the nozzle/pumper cap, giving enough room for air to escape. Allow air to vent from the loose cap by turning the hydrant a few turns, then tighten the cap.
  • Check for leaks around the flanges, nozzles/pumpers, seals, and operating nut with the hydrant fully pressured.
  • Flush for 10 to 15 seconds after partially closing the hydrant to unblock the drain ports.
  • Close the hydrant completely, then open it a quarter- to half-turn to alleviate strain on the thrust bearing or packing.
  • Remove a nozzle/pumper cap and, if necessary, add a diffuser and a hand valve for control. To eliminate foreign material, flush the hydrant.
  • Remove the diffuser and close the hydrant. Check for suction as the water drains from the barrel by placing your palm over the nozzle/pumper.
  • Notify utility and fire department employees as soon as possible if a hydrant becomes dysfunctional and requires repair or replacement.

Arrived at a manufacturing facility in the Florence SC area where the facility maintenance team had noticed steadily reduced flow from their fire suppression system and called for an inspection. Inspected the backflow preventer protecting the fire supply line and found the inlet strainer screen was almost completely blocked with iron oxide particles and sediment that had been accumulating from the older municipal supply lines in that part of the county. The restriction was reducing supply pressure enough to affect the suppression system's performance without triggering any fault codes. Removed and cleaned the strainer screen thoroughly, flushed the inlet passages, reinstalled the screen, and tested supply pressure after the cleaning to confirm full flow had been restored to the fire suppression system.

Headed to a hotel property off I-20 in Florence, SC that had received a fire marshal compliance notice requiring their private hydrant system to pass NFPA 25 inspection before the end of the summer compliance window. Operated all three hydrants on the property fully to flush sediment from the barrels, inspected nozzle cap gaskets and threads, confirmed breakaway hardware was intact on each unit, lubricated all operating stems, and verified proper barrel drainage after shutdown. Flagged one unit with a slow-seeping nozzle gasket and repaired it before leaving. Provided the property manager with a full written maintenance report they could hand directly to the fire marshal. Inspection passed without any follow-up deficiencies.

I worked on a broken water line in Florence, SC this afternoon, where the leak was at the main supply connection. After cutting out the damaged section of copper pipe, I used lead-free solder and flux to attach a new fitting. Once the pipe was reconnected, I pressure tested it to ensure there were no leaks.
