Dry Risers Direct recently flow tested the Hydrants at an Academy in Cumbria

We recently flow tested the Hydrants at an Academy in Cumbria. The hydrants, being fed from the public supply registered a flow rate of 400LPM and sat below the stated ideal of ‘300mm below ground level’. These two factors push it outside the BS and tend to be extremely common in the ‘real world’. The client requested a test certificate which will be issued with recommendations. This tends to lead to a conversation about the difference between current British Standards, the real world and installations pre British Standards. I’m guessing this is common dialogue through out the country?
