Indus Industrial Group supplies heavy-duty Underground Fire Hydrants engineered in nominal inlet sizes DN80 (3") and DN100 (4") in pressure rating PN16 according to BS 750 (Type 2) and EN 14339 standards. Designed specifically for congested historic city centers, narrow sidewalks, and airport apron areas across Iraq where above-ground pillar hydrants would obstruct pedestrian traffic or create vehicular collision hazards, these flush-mounted hydrants feature screw-down valves with standard British or round thread outlet couplings. Installed inside a heavy ductile iron surface box at ground level, they feature companion ductile iron duckfoot stabilizing bends and automatic frost-drain valves.

Dense urban street centers, historic pedestrian districts, airport aprons and taxiway safety zones, commercial shopping plazas, and university campuses across Baghdad, Erbil, Basra, Najaf, Karbala, and Sulaymaniyah.
Underground Fire Hydrants conforming to BS 750 Type 2 and EN 14339 provide the ideal, low-profile fire protection solution for congested metropolitan streetscapes, historic municipal districts, pedestrian plazas, and airport taxiways across Iraq. In densely built urban areas like downtown Baghdad (Karrada, Shorja), historic Erbil Citadel surroundings, and bustling commercial markets in Basra and Najaf, erecting large above-ground pillar hydrants creates severe pedestrian obstructions and exposes expensive firefighting assets to vandalism or vehicle collisions. Underground hydrants reside completely beneath the street surface inside a heavy-duty cast iron surface box, allowing unobstructed surface traffic until deployed during emergencies.
The valve mechanism features a vertical screw-down stem operating a resilient vulcanized EPDM encapsulated plug that closes against a corrosion-proof bronze seat ring, delivering bubble-tight shutoff (Rate A per ISO 5208). The outlet connection incorporates a standard 2.5-inch British Standard Round Thread (BSRT per BS 750) or instantaneous coupling fitted with a protective captive plug and chain. An automatic drainage valve expels standing water from the body after operation, preventing microbial stagnation during Iraq's blistering summer months.
Mounted atop a ductile iron duckfoot 90° bend that anchors the vertical riser firmly to the trench bed, the assembly easily withstands dynamic firefighting back-thrust forces when high-pressure standpipes are attached. Finished in fusion-bonded epoxy (min 250 µm), Indus underground hydrants are stocked across our Erbil Heavy Yard, Baghdad Depot, and Basra Port Hub with companion portable standpipes and key bars.
Firefighters open the street surface box, remove the hydrant outlet cap, and screw or twist on a standard portable aluminum standpipe with dual 2.5" instantaneous outlets. A universal hydrant T-key is used to rotate the operating spindle from road level to release full water flow.
The duckfoot bend transitions the horizontal water main to the vertical hydrant riser and features a heavy cast stabilizing foot at its base. This foot anchors against a concrete foundation block, absorbing the intense downward thrust and overturning forces created by pressurized water flow.
Yes. Indus stocks single-head and double-head lightweight aluminum portable standpipes, hydrant keys, and companion fire hoses at our Erbil, Baghdad, and Basra facilities for complete turnkey firefighting packages.
