Los Angeles County Municipal Code § 912.2 Location

With respect to hydrants, driveways, buildings and landscaping, fire department connections shall be so located that fire apparatus and hose connected to supply the system will not obstruct access to the buildings for other fire apparatus. The location of fire department connections shall be approved by the fire code official. More than one fire department connection may be required.

Fire department connections shall be located on the street-address side of buildings; facing approved fire apparatus access roads; within 150 feet (via vehicular access) of an accessible public fire hydrant; as close to the street curb face as possible; fully visible; and recognizable from the street, fire apparatus access road or nearest point of fire department vehicle access; or as otherwise approved by the fire code official.

Fire department connections shall be located a minimum of 25 feet (7620 mm) from the structure. When this distance cannot be achieved, a minimum 2-hour fire-resistive wall shall be provided for the structure with no openings in the wall, for 25 feet (7620 mm) in either direction from the fire department connection. The required fire-resistive construction and lack of openings shall extend for the full height of the wall or building as determined by the fire code official. The fire code official may allow sufficiently protected overhead openings.

Fire department connections shall be located not less than 24 inches (609.6 mm) nor more than 42 inches (1066.8 mm) above grade.
