Abstract: A bearing system includes a first bearing, the first bearing being annular in shape and defining a ring aperture, the first bearing including a first surface and a second surface, a second bearing being substantially the same in construction to the first bearing, a first surface of the second bearing contacting a second surface of the first bearing, wherein each of the bearings is constructed of nylon MDS.

Abstract: A traffic flange for a hydrant includes: a body portion defining an arcuate shape and including an upper surface, a lower surface, an inner radial surface, and an outer radial surface, the body portion defining a body portion width in a radial direction relative to a main axis of the traffic flange, the body portion further defining a plurality of holes extending in an axial direction of the traffic flange relative to the main axis from the upper surface to the lower surface; and a break-away portion including a plurality of tabs extending radially inward in the radial direction from the inner radial surface of the body portion, a total width of the traffic flange in the radial direction of the traffic flange at each of the plurality of tabs greater than the body portion width.

Abstract: A stem coupling for a hydrant includes: an upper portion defining an upper portion length from a center of a plurality of break-away features defined in the stem coupling to a first end of the stem coupling; and a lower portion defining an lower portion length from the center of the plurality of break-away features defined in the stem coupling to a second end of the stem coupling distal from the first end of the stem coupling, the lower portion length equaling at least two times the upper portion length.
