Which is the NFPA color code for a hydrant flowing 1000 to 1499 gpm?

The NFPA color code for a hydrant flowing between 1000 to 1499 gallons per minute (gpm) is green. This coding system is used to help firefighters quickly assess the flow capacity of hydrants on the scene, ensuring they can effectively plan for firefighting operations.

Hydrants with a green designation indicate a reliable flow that can support larger firefighting efforts, as 1000 to 1499 gpm is sufficient for addressing significant fire incidents. The green color allows for easy identification of hydrants that can provide adequate water supply during emergencies.

In this context, the other colors represent other flow ranges: red generally signifies low flow, blue indicates very high flow, and orange is for moderate flow, making it essential for first responders to be able to distinguish between these flow capacities quickly during incidents.
