Two-way fire hydrant system is a firefighting infrastructure that provides water access from two directions, typically for increased efficiency and flexibility during firefighting operations. In a two-way fire hydrant system, there are two points of connection for fire hoses to access water. This setup allows firefighters to approach the hydrant from either direction, making it easier to position equipment and access water in emergency situations.
The system often consists of a network of underground water pipes connected to the main municipal water supply or a dedicated water storage tank. Fire hydrants are installed at various points along these pipes, providing convenient access to water for firefighting purposes.
Two-way fire hydrant systems are commonly used in urban areas, industrial facilities, and large buildings where fire risks are higher and where multiple access points to water can be beneficial for firefighting efforts.
