Hi Trucker Gruapner used to make working fire monitors/hydrants but these may be hard to find these days. Hobbies web site show fire monitors not sure of the scale or if they are working. Out of stock at the moment hope this helps.

Modelbouw Shop Nederland list "hose" connections. Depending what you're looking for they fit the bill for a hydrant.  They also have lots of hand wheels and other very nice bits and pieces.  Watch them for availability though, stock isn't always there and they can hold on to orders for ages without saying anything.


EMA in the UK also list the plastruct range of piping and valves. Maybe a bit crude -more oriented towards commercial demo models.

Sorry, it's not me looking -and OP reminded above as per thread title he's looking for hydrants rather than monitors.

Hi guys what he is looking is in not a monitor. The post by Taranis shows a double hydrant trucker needs single ones. Best way to describe the item  is a flange on the deck with a housing above the flange and a wheel above that. The outlet would take 2.5 fire hose. Sorry no picture.

My post is of two single hydrants
The seller has shown them the wrong way.
Turn them 90 degrees so the flange end is on the deck

I think Taranis's post shows two single hydrants, not one double?


These were what I was suggesting which could be perfectly passable, but depends on an example of what Trucker is looking for and the size...

Bases arrowed, could be used in either way and or extended without too much imagination.
