| Which way do hydrants open | Counter clockwise |
| Static Pressure | Pressure of water when it is not moving |
| Normal operating pressure | Pressures within distribution system during normal consumption demands |
| Residual Pressure | Total available pressure not used to overcome friction or gravity when water is flowing throughout system |
| Flow Pressure | Forward velocity pressure at any discharge opening |
| Water hammer | the destructive forces which develop in a piping system when a column of noncompressible liquid is stopped abruptly. **The pressure exerted can be 7X or more than the static pressure. |
| What is the LPM for a Blue/Black/Silver capped hydrant | Greater than 5700 LPM |
