Which coupling-type do you use? NST
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hose_coupling#NST)?
If so one would describe this hydrant as:
fire_hydrant:coupling_type=NST
fire_hydrant:couplings=2.5;2.5;4.5
Open: How do we reflect the unit? Millimetres won't work for the US.
Possibilities:
fire_hydrant:couplings=2.5";2.5";4.5"
OR:
fire_hydrant:couplings=2.5;2.5;4.5
fire_hydrant:couplings_unit=inch

There is not yet a tag for this. In Austria a typical wrench looks like
this: http://i.ebayimg.com/images/i/251745653405-0-1/s-l1000.jpg
The left side is used to open the bolt at the top, while the right side
can be used to open the cap of the hose couplings.
Best regards,
