It depends if you live where the ground freezes or not.
Southern hydrants are normal length.
Now, consider Diglet.
It’s the Mystery Flesh Pit of Pokemon.
I positively will not!

TRIO TRIO TRIO
This is not your best work.
Uhhh… Take into account that they are all connected to a pipe network, so they are actually much much larger, they are a city wide grid.
So we live on top of a hydrant hydra?
Basically
Hydrants are the fruiting bodies of the water-supply mycelium.
So what happens if we open all fire hydrants at the same time
The pressure in the pipes probably goes down significantly before wherever the water is stored gets empty, in areas that have pumps for it they would probably not be able to keep up at all, wich means that the flow would be super slow as well.
It’s basically a mushroom. The hydrants are the fruit of the water network.
Water grid is mycelium lol
Looks like a good harvest this year.
Uh, what’s wrong with long hydrants? I don’t know about you, but I appreciate that my hydrant keeps working in the winter and doesn’t get punctured when I’m digging to replace my sprinkler piping.
The fire hydrant stops at the red paint. You can see where it bolts to the water main. The rest of the piping is the city water system.
Sorry, but that is wrong, the hydrant is that long so the valve can be below the frost line, otherwise it would freeze in the winter. The length depends on how deep the frost line is in your area. Here are some for https://www.muellercompany.com/water-works/hydrants/fire-hydrants
It looks like you’re right for at least a couple of those examples. That’s cool, I learned something today. So what’s up with the bolts at the base? I guess the valve part slides into the main pipe so they can easily replace it when needed?
They are universal. You ca. either have the valve right there in fair weather places, or you use extensions to make it below a 2’ 4’ or 8’ frost line.
I’d imagine it also makes repairs easier. Say a car hits a fire hydrant. It’s really only going to damage the part above ground. Having that part bolted on means you don’t have to dig out and replace the entire thing.
And yet the phrase, “That’s just the tip of the fire hydrant,” never really caught on :(
Grower not a shower.
The fire hydrants are bolted on to the pipes.
The mechanism I actually the whole thing. These ones are designed for cold climates where the pipes are buried deep so they don’t freeze. The valve is at the bottom so the vertical section can drain to prevent freezing
What in the dog dickety fuck?
I learned this fighting the giant super mutants in Fallout 3 that used them as clubs.
I remember this guy! First fallout game I played, my friend introduced it to me and let me borrow his disk for the PS3.
This is probably the first boss I’ve fought and in my memory it’ll always be an intense battle.
Woah that’s incredible
Wait until you see a British fire hydrant…
Can you time travel in them?
Can someone give a better link

They’re the Digletts of civil engineering.
I can’t believe they amputated that diglets fingers
