Mack58 Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Those look to be 2 different types of hydrants is this close to a rail line or a business complex. One looks like a normal hydrant while the other could possibly be a high pressure or high flow. just an observation on my part, mainly cause we know engineers never screw up.

randyp Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Possible that there are TWO water lines? Plug on left looks older, maybe a smaller line.Somebody has an excellent insurance ratingkinda like when you order a truck with dual exhaust, somebody probably ordered the dual fire plug option, less back pressure, more fires-per-gallon when fighting a fire. C'mon people, Im not even an engineer and I figured that one out,,,randyPEE Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/16407-engineering-fail/#findComment-66411 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Rider Posted November 5, 2010 Author Share Posted November 5, 2010 The answer that I was given is because there is a new water tower up on the left just out of camera shot. An older hydrant was there and the new one is to the tower. I still can't figure because the water tower is tied to the main line! Look in the ambulance mirror, there is a nursing home at the end of the street, and maybe 2 houses in front of the ambulance,water overkill for the area.
