Rooftop hydrants are a rapidly growing product market in the U.S.
Rooftop hydrants are often specified on commercial building rooftops to provide access to water, which can then be used to clean condenser coils, windows, cooling towers, green roofs and other types of rooftop equipment. Rooftop hydrants are a rapidly growing product market in the U.S. because they not only create convenience, but also cut down on injuries caused by pulling heavy hoses up ladders and onto rooftops.
When a hydrant was specified on the roof of Children’s Learning Center in Parker, Colorado, the plumbing contractor wanted a product with installation flexibility, longevity, and serviceability. But because the installation was in Colorado, hydrant freezing was a concern, and the last thing a contractor wants is a leaking hydrant on the roof.
