Threads shall be American National Standard. Pumper connection shall face roadway. One hydrant shall be located at each intersection and intermediate hydrants shall be provided where distance exceeds four hundred feet (400') between hydrants. Hydrants shall be located approximately ten feet (10') from edge of pavement, or if limited by site, the closest part of the hydrant shall be set back at least two feet (2') from the curb line.
