Outdoor fire protection
Outdoor fire protection systems are indispensable in industrial areas where a fire easily can occur. Many various processes are taking place here, and combustible materials are often present in the areas. Therefore, these places must have high requirements to the systems.
For the outdoor fire protection, the renowned AVK hydrants with UL/FM approved ensure a fast and effective effort to get the fire under control before it escalates to an un-controllable situation. The hydrants can be operated directly by means of hose attachment, by an attached fire monitor or they can be used as a water access point by the professional fire department.
The dry barrel hydrants are primarily designed for areas with frost, where the water mains is located below the ground frost zone. The wet barrel hydrants are primarily designed for non-frost areas. The monitor hydrants are primarily used for installation in chemical and petrochemical industrial plants as well as refineries, tank farms, airports and other plants with large amounts of inflammable liquids posing fire hazards.
AVK naturally also offers UL/FM approved gate valves and post indicators as well as accessories for outdoor fire protection.
