GROUND HYDRANT

These are hydrants which is used for water intake in compressed water network, of which two outlet water intake structure is located above ground (optionally 3 outlet). Hydrant consists of shaft which controls valve, spring valve(checkvalve) which serves for automatic discharge, hose connection glands, casting parts which form main housing. Open close operations are made by controlling shaft by hydrant switch. When shaft is rotated counterclockwise, movement pipe will move downwards Thereby valve parts which are present inside housing move downwards and hydrant is opened. Valve is closed at water flow direction. Thereby sealing of valve which is under pressure is improved. This system forms a turbulence free and linear flow as wells they reduce pressure loss, prevent vibrations and extends service lifetime of valves. Thereby spraying water at long distances is maintained. Hydrants should be closed in cold weather for discharging water inside hydrant by valve. Spring valve will open since there is not pressure and discharges water over ground through valve.
