3/4″ WaterPoint Standpipe

Tamperproof Standpipe enclosure with Hose Union tap for filling of watering cans and buckets in areas where the risk is Fluid Category 3. The unit is similar to model SPED, with the addition of a retractable bucket shelf and increased height; facilitating access to the tap and accepting tall buckets. The bucket shelf retracts into the top cap when closed, thereby minimising the risk of injury. The sliding cover operates within its own foot print, is immune to swinging in the wind and is designed to prevent trapped fingers. The Standpipe can be supplied with a Self Closing Tap, in a place of Hose Union tap (SPWPSC). When closed, the Standpipe conceals the tap and hose connector. Tamper-proofing is acheived using the optional padlock. The Standpipe has two operating positions; mid position (front cover slides down to expose the Hose Union tap leaving the hose connection concealed) and lower position (front cover slides down further to provide an integral bucket shelf). The bucket shelf allows users to rest watering cans or buckets during filling. The hose can be left connected in all positions. A Padlock is required to secure the top (shut) and mid positions. The Standpipe features a Double Check Valve providing Fluid Category 3 protection and affords a good flow even in low pressure areas by virtue of high flow cartridges.
