On-Site Hydrant Requirements. 1. When any portion of a proposed structure exceeds (via vehicular access) the allowable distances from a public hydrant and on-site hydrants are required, the following spacing requirements shall be met: a. Spacing distance between on-site hydrants shall be 300 to 600 feet. (1) Design features shall assist in allowing distance modifications. b. Factors considered when allowing distance modifications. (1) Only sprinklered buildings qualify for the maximum spacing of 600 feet. (2) For non-sprinklered buildings, consideration should be given to fire protection, access doors, outside storage, etc. Distance between hydrants should not exceed 400 feet. 2. Fire flow a. All on-site fire hydrants shall flow a minimum of 1,250 gallons per minute at 20 psi for a duration of two hours. If more than one on- site fire hydrant is required, the on-site fire flow shall be at least 2,500 gallons per minute at 20 psi, flowing from two hydrants simultaneously. On site flow may be greater depending upon the size of the structure and the distance from public hydrants. NOTE: ONE OF THE TWO HYDRANTS TESTED SHALL BE THE FARTHEST FROM THE PUBLIC WATER SOURCE. 3. Distance from structures All on-site hydrants shall be installed a minimum of 25 feet from a structure or protected by a two-hour firewall.
