Fire Hydrant & Fire Department Connection (FDC) Installation
Fire hydrants and Fire Department Connections (FDCs) are critical components of any fire safety plan. At SoCal Sewer & Water, we provide professional installation and maintenance services to ensure these essential systems are always operational and meet local fire codes.
What is an FDC?
An FDC is a connection that allows firefighters to hook into a building’s water supply, which can be a huge aid in the firefighting process and potentially save property and lives. FDCs are used to pump water into a building’s existing water system, including sprinklers and standpipes, as an additional method of fire suppression.
Unlike a hydrant, which is generally located outside and taps into the municipal water system, an FDC is a small valve that’s usually placed near the front of the building.
