The Fireguard FGDH series are LPCB-approved dry barrel pillar hydrants designed and manufactured to BS EN 14384:2005, BS 1074-1, BS 1074-2, and BS 1074-6 standards. Built for non-potable firefighting water systems, they combine a robust dry barrel design with innovative safety features to deliver long-term, freeze-resistant performance in demanding outdoor environments.

Breakaway Safety Design
In the event of a vehicle impact, only the upper flange section breaks — the seal is maintained and there is no leakage of water. This critical safety feature prevents a collision from causing a flood or loss of firefighting water supply, and allows the hydrant to remain functional or be quickly restored to service.

Freeze & Corrosion Protection
The dry barrel design keeps the upper section water-free when not in use. An automatic drain system evacuates retained water (≤150ml) from the upper barrel within 10 minutes of the main valve closing — preventing freeze damage in cold climates. Above-ground sections are sand-blasted and finished with red electrostatic powder coating (≥300µm), while below-ground sections receive a double coat of black bituminous paint for corrosion protection.

Flexible Configuration
Available in DN100 and DN150 inlet sizes with flanged connections to customer requirements. Stem options include carbon steel or stainless steel (STS304/316/316L) for enhanced corrosion resistance. Supplied in standard configuration, with straight-through landing valve, or with BS366 couplings.
