SITUATION
From the moment a typical fire hydrant is installed it begins to rust. Maintenance programs to rectify this problem are labor intensive and costly. Left untreated, a hydrant can quickly become unsightly and a safety hazard. |
2
PROCEDURE
Hydrants are brought into the LINE-X® store where LINE-X professionals carefully protect the various brass fittings and valves before sandblasting, priming, and coating with colored LINE-X. Units are then top-coated for UV protection. |
3
SOLUTION
LINE-X Protective Coatings is the problem solver. Suitable for both wet and dry-barrel design hydrants, on new or old units, LINE-X will provide greatly reduced maintenance and cost savings, with excellent corrosion, abrasion and chemical resistance. For municipalities that utilize a color coding system for available fire flows, etc., this can easily be accommodated
as LINE-X can be color matched to any specification. As well, additional markings can be applied as needed with topcoat stenciling of indicators.

RESULTS
A LINE-X protected fire hydrant can
be expected to provide many years
of problem free performance. Repainting
procedures are eliminated
and a clean aesthetically pleasing
appearance is maintained. |
