This article describes an adjustable‐height stand to support a backflow preventer and hydrant meter. Directions for constructing the stand are provided, along with materials and costs. Benefits include relieving stress on the hydrant's fire hose outlet and protecting the town's equipment, thus allowing the town to pursue a new income source.
