Fire Hydrant Systems: What Additional Safety Checks and Installations Are Essential?

Our organization has firefighting arrangements, i.e., a Fire Hydrant System. We conduct monthly checks of water pressure levels at the farthest, highest point, and discharge point. Can anyone provide more focus on the subject of what other measures should be ensured, particularly during checking? Also, please suggest to us the exact distance between two hydrant posts. To our knowledge, it should not exceed 45 meters, but what about hose box installation?

Please find attached the National Building Code of India for your reference. Keep sharing.

Thank you.

Can anybody tell me the discharge capacity of a standard 63mm (2.5") fire hydrant? As the discharge pressure may vary from, say, 2 kg to 7 kg/cm², what should be the expected flow of water (design flow) from the hydrant?

As per standard regulations, the minimum discharge pressure in the hydrant line should be 7.0 Ksc, while the maximum should range from 3.0 to 3.5 Ksc.

Thank you.
