Upper section has bronze sleevewhere it passes through O-rings. Upperand lower sections are connected by castiron coupling using stainless steel VALVEC onsists of a gray iron valve top and ductilevalve bottom and hydrant valve rubber.

HYDRANT SEATMade of bronze, with accuratelymachined seat for hydrant valvewith two drain ports. HYDRANT DRAIN RINGS ecurely held between barrel and baseflange, provides bronze-to-bronze threadedconnection for hydrant seat.

The rod spring assuresdrains close after approximately threeturns of the operating nut. This importantsafety feature prevents wash-outs thatcan happen on hydrant designs that donot have this important feature.
