fire hydrant valve boxes

Peer comment(s):

agree slothm : fire hydrant boxes. The hydrant is already a valve by itself.

Thanks slothm, that's what I thought too.
disagree Andrew Bramhall : the hydrant is a valve by itself, and also a box by itself, hence an overtranslation.

Fire hydrant

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_hydrant

This is simply a fire hydrant, where you wouldn't need to make the distinction of a 'valve box' as all fire hydrants are boxed in housing which contains a valve which regulates the flow of water to the attached hosepipe; 'fire hydrant', simply that.
Peer comment(s):

neutral slothm : The boxes must resist explosions, not the valves.

No need to make 'box' distinction at all.
agree Rosa Paredes
