5-Yearly Hydrant Testing, Glen Huntly

5-Yearly Hydrant Testing in Glen Huntly

Down in Glen Huntly for another 5-yearly hydrant service — the comprehensive AS 1851 test that goes well beyond the routine six-monthly checks. If your building is in Victoria, your occupancy permit almost certainly requires it, and building surveyors are increasingly chasing owners whose five-yearlies are overdue.

What a 5-Yearly Involves

  • Full flow testing of the hydrant system with calibrated flow equipment
  • Verification of flow and pressure at the most disadvantaged hydrants
  • Hydrant valve inspection and servicing
  • Booster assembly checks, block plans and signage review
  • Complete documentation for your Essential Safety Measures records

Why It Matters

A hydrant system that passed five years ago isn’t guaranteed to pass today — mains pressures change, valves seize, and systems get modified. The five-yearly is the only test that proves the system still delivers the water the fire brigade will rely on.

We run five-yearly hydrant and fire pump testing across Glen Huntly, Carnegie, Caulfield, Elsternwick and all of Melbourne. Book ahead of your due date — see our services or call 1300 134 971.
