The question about the opening direction should be propagated to this draft proposal regarding pipeline valves https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Pipeline_valves_proposal
I thought about turn_to_close=clockwise / anticlockwise Whatever the final answer will be, this definitely have to be the same key and values on both fire hydrants and any kind of pipeline valves. The proposal can change at anytime until RFC.
