What is a monitor hydrant?
A monitor hydrant is used in such places as oil fields, petrochemical plants or other locations that have dangerous or flammable compounds. The monitor hydrant has a special arm which takes an attachment that directs a spray of water without the need for a person to continually be present. It can be turned on and left so that people can leave the area of immediate danger, while the hydrant continues to hose the fire, chemical spill, or other dangerous situation. You can see a photo of one in use on our About Us website page.
