Through Bore Hydrant

  • Unlike current hydrants which have an ‘S’ shaped water path, TBH has a straight vertical path which provides direct full bore access (80mm*) to the main enabling a wide range of inspection, repair and maintenance activities
  • Enables network mapping / monitoring by the Utility, improving supply efficiencies
  • Offers industry leading flowrates at low operating pressures,particularly beneficial to the Emergency Fire and RescueServices and ultimately public safety
  • Enables major reductions in supply interruptions, excavation and highway disruption, considerably decreasing the overall carbon footprint
  • Similar in appearance and operation to existing type 2 hydrants, minimising the need for operator training
  • Lower operating torques that minimize potential for operator injury
