HYDRANT ARMOR is an enclosure that protects fire hydrants from all weather and environmental conditions and has light reflective features incorporated on the exterior of the enclosure to ensure its visibility in darkness. When fitted with a tall reflective post, fire hydrants can be located even when they are covered in snow. Hydrant valves and hose connection caps are protected from natural elements and corrosion while they are within the hollow enclosure. The enclosure is suspended off the ground so as not to become frozen to the ground, and is held in place with an integral bracket that is attached to the hydrant. The open bottom of the enclosure fits over and locks onto the bracket and can be removed from the hydrant without tools. The conical shape of the enclosure, tapered at the bottom, will prevent the enclosure from binding in deep snow.
