  • Device for securing the valves of fire posts using the control tube
    Patent number: 8276608
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for securing a fire hydrant, comprising a duct (3), a control pipe (4) having an operation end piece (5) at one end and a valve (7) at the other end capable of supplying said duct (3) with water from the main network, at least one connection (8) attached to said duct and capable of receiving fire hoses, said connection (8) including a sealing plug (9), said plug (9) including at least one first retaining means (15, 15a, 15b) capable of interacting with the control pipe (4) or with a wall of said duct (3) so as to prevent the sinking of the plug into said connection, characterized in that said plug (9) includes at least a second retaining means (13) for preventing the extraction of the plug from said connection and actuated by a locking device (12).
