Fire Hydrants – Supply, Installation & Maintenance
Fire hydrants are a vital part of any fire protection system. They provide firefighters with immediate access to a reliable water supply, giving them the ability to control and extinguish fires before they spread. At FCF Fire & Electrical, we specialise in supplying, installing, testing, and maintaining fire hydrants to ensure your building is safe, compliant, and prepared for any emergency.
Compliance You Can Trust
All fire hydrant systems must be designed, installed, and maintained in line with AS2419: Fire Hydrant Installations. This standard ensures hydrants deliver the correct water pressure and flow rate for effective firefighting operations. Our technicians carry out detailed inspections and performance testing so you can be confident your hydrants meet council and legal requirements.
How can we help?
Our fire hydrant services cover every aspect of testing, maintenance, and compliance to ensure reliable
performance in an emergency, including:
- Design and installation of new hydrant systems.
- Pressure and flow testing to confirm system reliability.
- Routine servicing and preventative maintenance.
- Replacement of damaged, faulty, or non-compliant components.
- Compliance reporting for Annual Fire Safety Statements (AFSS).
If a fire occurs, the last thing you want is for hydrants to fail under pressure. Our scheduled testing
programs ensure your hydrants are always in working order, ready to support emergency responders
when needed most.

FAQs
How often should fire hydrants be tested?
According to Australian Standard AS 1851, fire hydrant systems must be tested every six months to ensure they provide sufficient water flow and pressure in an emergency. FCF Fire & Electrical Sydney conducts all required inspections and flow tests.
What does a fire hydrant test involve?
Our technicians check pressure levels, flow rates, valve function, signage, and accessibility. We also ensure booster assemblies and isolating valves are operational and that no leaks or obstructions are present in the system.
Why is regular fire hydrant maintenance important?
Hydrant systems can corrode, leak, or lose pressure over time. Routine testing ensures the system will perform as intended during a fire and keeps your property compliant with NSW fire safety regulations.
Who is responsible for maintaining fire hydrants?
Property owners, building managers, or body corporates are responsible for ensuring hydrant systems are maintained and tested according to Australian Standards. FCF provides complete maintenance programs and compliance reporting for peace of mind.
Will I receive a compliance report after testing?
Yes. After every inspection, we issue a detailed service report outlining test results, any faults found, and recommended corrective actions, ready for inclusion in your Annual Fire Safety Statement (AFSS).
