Wet Barrel Fire Hydrant

UL Listed and FM Approved

The Series 24 Wet barrel hydrant is designed to be easy to maintain, enabling one person to perform routine repairs and maintenance.

It is designed with the shut-off device directly at the outflow nozzle for hose or pumper connection, this means that the hydrant is constantly filled with water and therefore under pressure and is mounted directly on the water main, giving full water pressure instantaneously when needed .

Only after 1/8 turn on the stem water starts to flow, and after 12 turns only the full flow capacity can be utilized.

Bi-direction Check Valve-Flow Guard II

The AVK Flow Guard II™ Bi-directional check valve, is designed with safety in mind.

In the event of a traffic accident, the ball will rise to seal off the flow from the main line. A small stream of water is allowed to flow, reducing possible water hammer and indicating the hydrant has been damaged.
