Item # 60554X, 4 x 4 Hydrant Pit Valves - 3rd Edition - API 1584
|
|
|
|
|
|
The new concept for hydrant pit valves – pilotless (64231 with lanyard override shown) includes ductile iron inlet housing, two-piece aluminum upper housing with replaceable stainless steel outlet with dust cap & high capacity pressure equalizing valve.
The Carter Model 60554 Hydrant pit Valve is a family of valves that includes lanyard, air or dual air/lanyard operated pilot valves, with the latter available with a defueling option.
The latest series of the 60554 Hydrant Pit valves meet all the requirements of the 3rd Edition of API/IP 1584, including the new breakaway and strength requirements. The basic hydrant pit valve consists of three basic parts, lower valve assembly, upper valve assembly (or API outlet adapter) and either the new pilotless (patent pending) (Option X) valve or the standard valve with a pilot valve. The lower valve assembly contains an isolation valve which will allow the removal and servicing of the upper valve assembly and the pilot valve assembly while the pit valve is still installed. (See service manual SM60554 for proper instructions). The upper portion of all versions of the 60554 are now furnished with a replaceable part that contains the interface with the hydrant coupler. This minimizes replacement parts expense and allows the easy replacement of the outlet wearing surfaces.
An option is also available to conform the valve to the IP Standard by adding the appropriate 6-inch inlet flange adapter. The outlet conforms to the API Bulletin 1584 Standard.
The Model 60554 Hydrant Pit Valve is designed to minimize the propagation of surge pressure shocks into the upstream piping system during closure of the valve.
