  • Patent number: 7607453
    Abstract: A freezeless hydrant having an inlet and outlet, the hydrant including an elongated pipe connecting a valve to an operator. A stem has a length and has a first end engaged with operator threads and a second end carrying a stopper portion of the valve. A portion of the stem engages projections on an inner portion of the pipe such that the valve operator stem is held against rotational movement. The stopper portion includes a first and second seal face such that rotational movement of the operator results in longitudinal movement of the stem and in closing of the valve by moving the stopper portion and the first seal face into compressive sealing engagement with a face of a reduced diameter portion of the pipe and the second seal into movable frictional engagement with an inner diameter of the reduced diameter portion. The hydrant can be mounted in a hydrant box on the exterior of a structure.

  • Patent number: 7478645
    Abstract: A freezeless hot and cold outdoor hydrant having a hot water inlet and a cold water inlet and a single water outlet elbow. The hydrant has a hydrant body including a mix cavity chamber. The single water outlet is swivel mounted to an end of said hydrant body such the hydrant can be mounted in a vertical orientation with the hot and cold water inlets above the outlet or the hydrant can be mounted in a horizontal orientation with the outlet swiveled approximately 90 degrees and with the hot and cold water inlets horizontally oriented beside the outlet. Two horizontal orientations are possible, depending upon the swivel angle of the outlet elbow. One horizontal orientation has the hot water operator on the left side of the hydrant and the other horizontal orientation has the hot water operator on the right side of the hydrant.
