Origins
For people who move water.
Before founding Hydra-Tap in 2021, J.R. Bradfield spent his career in the trade as a Journeyman Sprinkler Fitter and NICET III in Water-Based Systems Layout. The tools we build come from that experience, and our philosophy hasn’t changed since day one — Build the right tools. Build them to last. Build them in America.
