In addition, a method of sealingly interconnecting a standpipe of the hydrant to the hydrant support is provided wherein a plurality of seals are employed. In order to enhance the seal provided between the standpipe and a hydrant support, a boot may be used that covers the interface between the standpipe and the hydrant support.

What is claimed is: 1. A roof mount for a hydrant, which includes a standpipe, comprising: a hydrant support having a first flange with a tube extending therefrom; a second flange for spaced interconnection to said first flange via at least one mounting bolt; and a sealing system positioned within said tube adapted for engagement to a standpipe, said sealing system including an upper seal that is interconnected to a lower seal with an intermediate seal therebetween via at least one bolt, wherein tightening said bolt generates a bulge in said intermediate seal. 2. The roof mount for a hydrant of claim 1, wherein said first flange and said second flange include at least one aperture that receives said at least one mounting bolt. 3. The roof mount for a hydrant of claim 2, wherein said at least one aperture of said first flange and said second flange are associated with a slot. 4. The roof mount for a hydrant of claim 1, wherein said first flange has varied thickness to accommodate a pitch angle of a roof to which said first flange is to be interconnected. 5. The roof mount for a hydrant of claim 1, further comprising a shim for engagement to said first flange to alter a pitch angle of a roof to which said first flange is to be interconnected. 6. The roof mount for a hydrant of claim 1, further including a boot adapted for association with a standpipe and for engagement to said tube. 7. A device for mounting a hydrant, comprising: a means for supporting having a means for mating with a means for stabilizing extending therefrom; a flange for spaced interconnection to said means for mating via at least one means for fastening; and a means for sealing positioned within said means for stabilizing adapted for engagement with an standpipe, said means for sealing including an upper seal that is interconnected to a lower seal with an intermediate seal therebetween via at least one bolt wherein tightening said bolt bulges said intermediate seal. 8. The device of claim 7, wherein said means for mating has varied thickness to accommodate a pitch angle of a surface to which said means for mating is to be interconnected to. 9. The device of claim 7, further comprising a shim for engagement to said means for mating that helps accommodate a pitch angle of a surface to which said first flange is to be interconnected to. 10. The device of claim 7, further including a boot adapted for association with the standpipe and for engagement to said means for stabilizing. 11. The device of claim 7, wherein said means for mating is at least one of a flange, a bracket and a plate. 12. A fluid hydrant for interconnection to a roof of a structure having a roof deck and a roof underside, comprising: a hydrant support having a flange with a tube extending therefrom, said flange adapted to engage the roof deck; an under deck flange adapted for engage the roof under side; a plurality of mounting bolts that interconnect said flange and said under deck flange wherein the roof deck and the roof underside is positioned therebetween; a standpipe positioned within said tube; a sealing system positioned between said tube and said standpipe; and a hydrant interconnected to said standpipe. 13. The fluid hydrant of claim 12, wherein said under deck flange includes a boss extending therefrom that receives at least one screw that interfaces with said standpipe. 14. The fluid hydrant of claim 12, further comprising a shim for engagement to said flange that helps accommodate a pitch angle of a roof to which said flange is to be interconnected to. 15. The fluid hydrant of claim 12, wherein said sealing system includes an upper seal that is interconnected to a lower seal with an intermediate seal therebetween via at least one bolt wherein tightening said bolt bulges said intermediate seal. 16. The fluid hydrant of claim 12, further including a boot for interconnection to the standpipe and said tube. 17. A method of affixing a hydrant to a roof comprising: placing a hydrant support having a flange with a plurality of holes and a hollow tube extending therefrom onto a roof deck of a structure; using said hydrant support to locate a hole pattern; drilling mounting holes through the roof deck and the under side of the roof; cutting a hole to receive a standpipe of the hydrant into the rook deck; placing mounting bolts through the hydrant support, the roof deck and the under side of the roof; engaging an under deck flange onto the underside of the roof such that said mounting bolts are placed therethrough; interconnecting nuts to said mounting bolts, thereby securely interconnecting said hydrant support to a roof; placing said standpipe into said hydrant support; and placing a sealing system between said standpipe and said hydrant support. 18. The method of claim 17, wherein said under deck flange includes a boss extending therefrom and further comprising fastening at least one screw that interfaces with said standpipe. 19. The method of claim 17, further comprising adding a shim between said flange and said roof deck to accommodate a pitch angle of the roof. 20. The method of claim 17, wherein said sealing system includes an upper seal that is interconnected to a lower seal with an intermediate seal therebetween via at least one bolt wherein tightening said bolt bulges said intermediate seal. 21. The method of claim 17, further including a boot for interconnection to the standpipe and said tube. 22. A roof mount for a hydrant, which includes a standpipe, comprising: a hydrant support having a first flange with a tube extending therefrom; a second flange for spaced interconnection to said first flange via at least one mounting bolt; a sealing system positioned within said tube adapted for engagement to the standpipe; and a boot adapted for association with the standpipe and for engagement to said tube. 23. A device for mounting a hydrant, comprising: a means for supporting having a means for mating with a means for stabilizing extending therefrom; a flange for spaced interconnection to said means for mating via at least one means for fastening; a means for sealing positioned within said means for stabilizing adapted for engagement with a standpipe; and a boot adapted for association with the standpipe and for engagement to said means for stabilizing.
