Only properly selected, installed, tested, inspected and maintained fire hydrants stand ready to save lives and protect property. This 3-day course provides vital details on how to identify, select and inspect hydrant installations for commercial, industrial, and residential applications.
Review different types of hydrants and see the internal components of center-stem and scissor hydrants, how they fit together and how they work. Learn straightforward, step-by-step procedures to install, operate, test, maintain and repair common types of hydrants. Get practical information you can use right away to set up and maintain hydrant records and track flow tests, inspections, maintenance, and repairs.
WETRC has many different hydrants at our facility, so physical demonstrations and hands-on practice are peppered throughout the class time to help students practice identifying and repairing common hydrant problems.
This class will spend some time outdoors, so dress accordingly.
