Haha

There goes his rotors

whoa, you just read my mind :O

I noticed where the fire hydrant was located, he put his tire in front of it so the water would not shoot into the street hitting a passing vehicle.

Really?

+S.E.R. Safety (Grant Bansemer) Yep! It's not very often but I always look forward to testing a few. The most fun was at a FedEx facility

Thanks!! I'm would be to. I'm very thankful I got to do this.

Or see this

Yeah, there so cool! Thank you!

+S.E.R. Safety (Grant Bansemer) me to

I'm so glad you enjoyed! :D

:)

Rust inside the hydrant

None that are scheduled. But if I do get the chance to I will.

@@ChalkMlik That is 1,400 pounds per square inch of water pressure; no person can withstand more than 190

Thank You!!

+S.E.R. Safety (Grant Bansemer) how do you do all this awsome stuff

SuperMarioJustin4 no

Depends on material and age . Flow rates vary widely across all systems. The steamer ports are great way to drop the pressure when testing. What puts mains under stress is the sudden change in pressure ie closing down the valve too quickly. As for flow rates...depends on diameter too!

@@Roballthebanks ok all that taken into consideration you should still never use the 4' or 5' nozzle to flush. When you close a firehydrant properly, the hydrant shouldn't be flowing. If it is flowing, you could cause a water hammer when closing the hydrant.

Thanks for watching!

Thank you!

David Brown yeah I wanted to know that too

By the looks of it I would say 1500GPM with a pressure reading between 60 psi and 150 psi. Does not sound like a lot of pressure but through a line that size is a lot.

Yes

That's a yellow hydrant. It means the supply of water comes from a private supply system. That hydrant has infinite water.

It's connected to the water main

@@KWatson1984 yeah realized that but thanks

:)

NO

I'm glad you enjoyed!

greengrassofhome i

oh

LOOK it up, WATER HAMMER happen when CLOSING a flowing line too FAST! why all valves and hyrants are usually 22 turns to turn on and off to help prevent hammering the water lines.

@@Matthewcessna If that's what you believe then you haven't opened and shut enough fire hydrants yet. Did you ever see someone blow a water main for opening a valve too quickly. I have! As for the 22 turns you must have read that in manufacturers publication. A lot of fire hydrants have less OR more than 22 turns. Depends whether they have coarse or fine threaded stem rods. I've seen them full open at around 17 and some that take a lot more to open. Some old Ludlow hydrants have more than 22. Earlier comment about the opening and closing of hydrants not following M 17 guidelines agrees with my point

it's not illegal if you're a firefighter.

Red means lower water availability

Red means lower water availability

@@edgarmartinez7371 NOT alway the rule, town I use to work in, all hydrants were RED, come that way from MFG, by flush testing and checking, we got our flow test results to know what hydrants flow

Ikr

curiosity?

Funtime Foxy he had promishion to test it

Random video _ i dont belive u

Funtime Foxy dude check his car proves it

Backwardsfirealarm person87 _ Umm what

Funtime Foxy I Donno wat I’m saying the guy was a person to test stuff

Well in Florida, DEP requires them to be FLUSHED twice a year, and tested once a year, one being test and flush.

michael boccino that would be a lot of water wasted

How ?

+Krazy Dev There could be a fire near where this is. The fire crew may not have enough water to put the fire out and it could kill somebody.

Nevexo it's better to make sure it WORKS when you don't need it, rather than it NOT working when you CRITICALLY need it
