What type of hydrant is generally installed in a location that experiences freezing temperatures?

A dry-hydrant is designed to be installed in locations that experience freezing temperatures. This type of hydrant has a main body that remains dry and is not filled with water until it is needed for firefighting. This design prevents the water from freezing inside the hydrant, which can occur in traditional wet-barrel hydrants where water is stored.

Dry-hydrants typically connect to a water source, like a pond or lake, and rely on suction to draw water when required. As a result, they are particularly useful in areas where maintaining operable infrastructure during winter months is crucial for firefighting efforts. The other types of hydrants mentioned either maintain a constant water supply that could freeze or are not specifically designed for snowy or icy environments, making them less suitable for such conditions.
