The CA-FIRE Russian standard above-ground fire hydrant is manufactured to GOST 24013-80 — the Russian national standard for outdoor fire hydrants — and is designed specifically for Russia’s extreme climate conditions, from −40°C northern winters to +60°C summer operating temperatures. The DN100 pillar hydrant provides a maximum flow rate of 90 L/s at 1.0 MPa working pressure through two GOST-thread outlets (100 mm main + 65 mm auxiliary), connecting directly to Russian standard PN10/PN16 flanged water mains. A built-in frost-proof valve core and automatic drain system expel residual water after each use, preventing barrel freeze and cracking without any manual intervention. Ductile iron body construction (EN-GJS-450-10) with hot-dip galvanising and RAL 3000 red powder coating provides 20+ years of service life in industrial and municipal installations across Russia and the CIS.

Key Features

🌡️ −40°C Frost Resistance — Auto-Drain Design Russia’s extreme winters demand more than standard hydrant construction. The Russian standard fire hydrant‘s frost-proof valve core and automatic drain system expel all residual water from the barrel and outlets after each use — with no manual draining required. This eliminates the primary cause of cold-weather hydrant failure: ice expansion cracking the valve body. The ductile iron body’s thick-wall design provides additional thermal mass, slowing temperature drop in sub-zero conditions. For installations in regions below −30°C, an optional polyurethane foam insulation jacket is available. Auto-Drain · −40°C to +60°C |
🏗️ Ductile Iron Body — 20+ Year Service Life The hydrant body is cast from ductile iron EN-GJS-450-10 — a material that combines the corrosion resistance of grey iron with the impact toughness of steel. In industrial and municipal installations exposed to vehicle impact, heavy machinery and harsh weathering, ductile iron maintains structural integrity where grey iron fractures. Double surface protection — hot-dip galvanising (Zn ≥ 90 μm) underneath electrostatic powder coating — provides two independent corrosion barriers, extending exterior service life even in chemically aggressive industrial environments.

🔧 GOST-Compatible Outlets — Direct Hose Connection Both outlet ports — the 100 mm main outlet and the 65 mm auxiliary outlet — are machined to GOST standard thread profiles, ensuring direct compatibility with Russian fire service hose couplings and fittings without adaptors. The brass alloy (Cu-Zn 40) valve core and EPDM sealing rings provide leak-free shut-off across the full −40°C to +80°C service temperature range. The flange inlet is dimensioned to GOST PN10/PN16 standards, enabling direct bolt-up to Russian standard water main pipework during installation — no adaptor flanges or special fittings required.

This documentation package enables straightforward authority submission and project handover in Russia and CIS countries. GOST 24013-80 · ISO 9001 · CE · Test Reports |
How the Russian Standard Fire Hydrant Works
The Russian standard above-ground fire hydrant uses a direct-lift valve mechanism operated by a top-mounted wrench port. The auto-drain system is passive — no powered components, no manual steps.
|
1
Standby — Barrel dry, auto-drain open In standby, the main valve is closed and the drain port at the base of the barrel is open to atmosphere. Any residual water or condensation drains out through the drain port — the barrel above the valve is dry. Ice cannot form and crack the body. |
2
Activation — Open valve, drain closes automatically Insert the operating wrench into the top port and rotate clockwise. As the main valve lifts open, the mechanical linkage simultaneously closes the drain port. Water flows from the main under pressure up through the barrel to the outlets. No power, no electronics — fully mechanical. |
|
3
Discharge — 100 mm main or 65 mm auxiliary outlet Connect the fire hose to the appropriate outlet — 100 mm for high-flow large-diameter hose (maximum 90 L/s); 65 mm for standard fire service hose. Both outlets use GOST-standard thread profiles for direct coupling to Russian fire service equipment. |
4
Shutdown — Drain reopens, barrel self-empties Rotate the wrench anti-clockwise to close the main valve. The drain port reopens simultaneously and gravity-drains all residual water from the barrel through the drain hole at the base — leaving the barrel dry within minutes. No manual draining required in sub-zero conditions. |
Installation Guide
Pre-Installation Checklist
Before installing the Russian standard fire hydrant, verify the following: the product model and GOST certification match the project specification; the hydrant shows no transport damage (check body, outlets and flange face); all standard accessories are present; the base is flat, stable and has sufficient bearing capacity (≥ 250 kg); clearance of at least 2 metres exists around the hydrant for fire tender access; the water supply pipeline is rated for 1.0 MPa working pressure and the flange face has been cleaned of rust and debris.
Installation Steps
Place the hydrant on the prepared concrete base and use a level gauge to confirm verticality (tolerance ≤ 3 mm/m). Install the EPDM flange gasket between the hydrant inlet flange and the water main flange, align all bolt holes, insert fixing bolts and tighten in a crisscross pattern to 50–60 N·m torque — even clamping force ensures a leak-free seal. Fix the hydrant to the base with M18 × 120 mm expansion bolts. Test the drain valve by hand to confirm free movement. Conduct a hydrostatic test: cap both outlets, connect the test line, pressurise slowly to 1.5 MPa and hold for 30 minutes — inspect the flange joint, valve core, drain valve and outlets for any leakage. Install reflective markers or insulation jacket if specified.
Emergency Operation
Remove the outlet cap(s) by rotating anti-clockwise. Connect fire hose to the required outlet and tighten. Insert the operating wrench into the top port and rotate clockwise to open — water flows immediately. Adjust valve opening to control flow rate. After suppression: close the valve by rotating anti-clockwise, disconnect hoses, replace outlet caps. The drain system will self-empty the barrel automatically — verify drain is functioning freely before leaving the hydrant in cold conditions.
Maintenance Schedule
| Frequency | Task |
|---|---|
| Monthly | Inspect body, outlets and surface coating for corrosion, mechanical damage or paint loss. Confirm outlet caps are secure and undamaged. Verify drain valve moves freely. Clear any obstacles (vehicles, debris, vegetation) within the 2 m access zone. Confirm the hydrant is visible and unobstructed. |
| Quarterly | Remove outlet caps and inspect EPDM sealing rings — replace with CA-FIRE genuine parts if cracked or deformed. Apply lubricating oil to the valve core operating port. Clean the drain valve port to remove sediment. Check flange bolts for loosening and re-torque if necessary. |
| Annual | Conduct a full hydrostatic test (1.5 MPa, 30 minutes). Inspect the drain valve mechanism for wear. Repaint any areas where coating has failed. Check the insulation jacket for damage if installed. Verify GOST certification and maintenance log are up to date. Document all findings. |
| Before winter | Confirm auto-drain is fully functional — operate the hydrant with no hose attached and verify water drains completely within 3 minutes of closing. Install thermal insulation jacket if region forecast is below −30°C. Mark hydrant position with snow poles if the hydrant may be obscured by snow accumulation. |
