Fire Hydrant Assembly Sample Clauses
The Fire Hydrant Assembly clause defines the requirements and standards for installing fire hydrant systems within a project. It typically outlines the specifications for materials, installation procedures, and testing protocols to ensure the hydrants are properly connected to the water supply and function as intended in emergencies. By setting clear guidelines, this clause ensures that fire safety infrastructure is reliable and compliant with local regulations, thereby reducing risks associated with fire hazards.
Fire Hydrant Assembly. Fire hydrant assemblies shall be paid for at the unit price per each hydrant installed and shall cover the cost for all materials, transportation, labor, equipment, excavation, sheeting and shoring, installation of the fire hydrant assemblies (all configurations), vertical extensions, tapping sleeve, valve, hydrant lead piping, joint connections, fittings, tees, restraints, crushed stone drain, polyethylene encasement, protection of existing utilities, valve box, concrete pad or collar, valve identification disc, valve marker, valve tag, chlorine for disinfection, disinfection, backfilling, backfill material, disposal of unsuitable backfill materials, tamping, testing, densities, utility crossings, dewatering, trench stabilization, clean-up, restoration, and all work and materials necessary to install the fire hydrant assembly and place it in service.
Fire Hydrant Assembly. 1. Fire hydrants shall be the compressive, post style, dry barrel type, and shall conform to the requirements of ANSI/AWWA C502 and local code requirements. The valve opening shall not be less than 4½-inch (115 mm). All hydrants shall be complete including joint assemblies.
2. Hydrants shall be suitable for working pressure of 150 psi and shall be hydrostatically factory tested to 300 psi.
3. All working parts, including the seat ring, shall be removable through the top without excavating or disturbing the barrel of the hydrant.
4. Hydrants shall be constructed with a lubricant chamber which encloses the operating threads and which provides automatic lubrication of the threads and bearing surfaces each time the hydrant is operated. This assembly shall be comprised of a top O-ring serving as a dirt and moisture barrier and a lower O-ring which will serve as a pressure seal.
5. Hydrants shall include two 2½-inch (65 mm) hose nozzles and one 4½-inch (115 mm) pumper connection with National Standard Fire Hose Threads unless specified otherwise in the Plans or The Facility Owner’s Standard Specifications. Hydrant threads shall comply with the specifications of the local agency providing fire service.
6. Hydrant nozzle shall be constructed to face in any direction at any time by removing the safety flange bolts and revolving the head without digging or shutting off water.
7. Hydrants shall have pentagon operating nut measuring 1½-inch (40 mm) point to flat and shall open by turning counter-clockwise.
8. Hydrant shall have a safety-type vertical barrel with a minimum 3½-foot bury and be designed with safety flange and/or bolts to protect the barrel and stem from damage, eliminate flooding, and allow rapid replacement if hydrant is struck. All risers necessary for deeper bury applications shall be provided by the hydrant manufacturer.
9. Hydrants shall include positive, automatic drain valves which shall be fully closed when the main valve is open.
10. Bottom inlet of hydrant shall be provided with mechanical joint connection complete with accessories as specified and shall be 6-inch (150 mm) nominal diameter.
11. Fire hydrant shall be painted above ground with rust inhibiting enamel paint in accordance with The Facility Owners Standard Specifications.
12. Hydrant assemblies shall be restrained from the hydrant to the tee at the main.

Fire Hydrant Assembly. This bid item shall be paid on a per each (EA) basis. The price shall include all materials, labor, and equipment necessary for a complete installation including pavement cutting, soil and rock excavation, excavated material storage and/or off‐site disposal, stone base, the tee and its installation, the 6‐inch connecting pipe and its installation, the 6‐inch valve and its installation, the valve box and its installation, the hydrant and its installation, all necessary harnessing and restraint and their installation, concrete and its placement, backfill and compaction, testing, disinfection, tracer wire and marking tape installation, and any other items necessary for a complete, working water system. Unless otherwise specified, the unit price shall also include the abandonment of existing facilities, including the cutting and plugging/capping of existing lines, the demolition and removal of existing valve vaults and fire hydrants and any other existing water line appurtenances, and complete restoration, including topsoiling, seeding, mulching, landscape restoration, and any other activity necessary to restore the disturbed area to original or improved condition.
