South Carolina BS thread under new MANAGEMENT and lives in SC

“Uhh I don’t want to deal with this today. That’s not actually a fire hydrant. Sorry”

 

Not a fire hydrant. Its actually a flushing hydrant. Fire hydrants have to come off a 6" water main to maintain fire flow demands. A flushing hydrant can be mounted on any size line 2" or bigger and its sole purpose is to flush water mains where water may become stagnated.

 

Thanks for the info. Never heard of that before.

 

I’d hook to it lol better flow than downtown Charleston

 

I'd call that a fire hydrant. Peeps get an insurance cut for having a hydrant in front of the house.

That's a a fire hydrant as far as the insurance companies are concerned.

 

Insurance companies dont specify PSI requirements on fire supression systems? As far as i know in NC at least, FSS"s cant drop below 35psi during peak fire demand including Fire Hydrants. You may not get that off of a flush hydrant on a 2" line when its pulling 1400gpm.

I honestly dont see how an Insurance Company could be satisfied in anyway without seeing flow data.

 

That's why you hook your tanker to the fire hydrant and pump off your engine least in a county setting... City should be fine because most city engines now are tanker pumper engines least the ones I service are mainly

 

@Jeffvt0508 new roof rack?!

 

Nope remember the deal lol

 

No idea what you’re talking about, I just remember you saying you like that minimalistic feel on your truck and that your current roof rack just wasn’t cutting it. Too gawdy or something along those lines.

 

Nah that wasn't me lol

 

Yes it was, I have proof. Somewhere, let me find it.

 

For those wanting to lower your insurance

 

Thats an actual fucking fire hydrant right there.

 

Same thing the water department said when they came to fix it. When I first moved in 15 years ago, the insurance company asked about a fire hydrant. I said it was in my front yard, because I thought it was. As far as they're concerned, it's a fire hydrant. Lol. It started leaking at the valve so I called the fire dept. They tightened it and in doing so, broke something underneath the ground. Water department came out one early evening, had to cut off water to the whole street, and spent hours and hours digging it up to fix the leak. This is what they replaced it with.

 

PEX piping will outlive all of us and all of the cockroaches that survive WW3. I wouldn't be the least but upset about that new line.

 

I'm not even sure what's going on in his picture bless

 

unmetered city water? I’d be tapping into that for irrigation for my lawn lol

 

If I actually cared about that. Lol
