Types of Standpipe with a Bayonet Base

Choose from our range of steel contractors standpipes or aluminium brigade standpipes, depending on your intended use. Bayonet fittings are also known to provide a strong, leak-proof connection which ensures consistent water pressure and high performance. They’re resistant to wear and corrosion, guaranteeing a long life for your standpipe.

Brigade standpipes use gaskets made of NBR rubber for effective, abrasion-resistant sealing. While our standpipes use a WRAS-approved non-return valve in order to protect the mains water supply from contamination.

At Parsch UK, all of our water standpipes are certified. We carry out hydrostatic pressure test procedures to 22.5 bar to ensure the products offer a reliable performance even when working with high water pressure.

Water Hydrant Standpipe Applications

Use a water hydrant standpipe to connect to underground mains water supply in various settings. Brigade standpipes are utilised in emergency scenarios to provide high-pressure water to firefighters in high-rise buildings, rural areas, large spaces, and similar locations where accessing the main water supply is difficult.

Contractors standpipes can be used in any environment as long as you have the correct licence from the local water authority. For instance, these water standpipes may be used for water distribution and irrigation in an agricultural setting. Alternatively, use a standpipe to provide much-needed water for sanitation purposes, cement mixing, and more on construction sites.

Water hydrant standpipes can also be used in industrial settings. Workers require access to water for a number of reasons such as cooling, cleaning, and maintaining equipment. As they’re so easy to connect and disconnect, water standpipes with a bayonet fitting are incredibly versatile in this environment.

Choosing a Standpipe with a Bayonet Fitting

There are several key factors to consider when selecting a standpipe:

• Compliance -Choose a certified supplier to ensure a reliable, consistent, and secure performance.
• Pressure rating - Ensure the standpipe can withstand high water pressure to consistently distribute water across large and hard-to-reach areas.
• Material - Select a water standpipe made from robust materials that can withstand harsh conditions.
• Connection - Bayonet fittings are an excellent choice as they’re known for their ease of use.
