"Alliance Breakaway" hydrants shall be "traffic type" with easily replaceable

4 flangeable parts designed to break on traffic impact. 4. "Alliance Breakaway" hydrants shall fully comply with and exceed AWWA standard C-502 latest revision for dry barrel hydrants. B Size, Ranges and Working Pressure. 1. Main valve size 4-1/2" - I.D. (see flow loss requirements) 2. Maximum working pressure 250 p.s.i. 3. Inlet connection 6" mechanical joint. Includes accessory kit. 4. "Three-way" two hose nozzle, one pumper nozzle. 5. Depth of bury five (5) foot 0 inches. C Design Features: 1. The operating nut shall be a one-piece bronze casting with ductile iron weather shield. The operating nut to be a 1-1/8" square, measured flat to flat with minimum height of one inch. Pressure seals or dirt seals making contact with the operating nut shall be protected from changing climatic conditions by the weather shield attached to the operating nut in an allowed manner. The thrust collar will be an integral cast part of the operating nut above which will be fitted an anti-friction device. The hydrant shall open right. 2. All threaded and metal to metal bearing surfaces in the bonnet shall be sealed away from the line pressure by no less than two' O'Rings. The first of which will act as a wiper and dirt seal, the other as a pressure seal. Shall have O rings at the bonnet, ground and shoe flanges. 3. The hose nozzle size shall be 2-1/2" with City of Alliance threads. The pumper nozzle size shall be 4-1/2" with City of Alliance threads. They must be threaded and locked in place by a stainless steel or brass pin or screw. "O" Rings will be used as pressure seals. 4. The upper barrel shall include two hose nozzles and one pumper nozzle located on the same plane, with the center line of the steamer nozzle at least 18" from the ground line mark on the lower barrel. 5. Hydrant to be dry top design with factory lubricated operating mechanism with provisions to field check for the need of lubrication and an external means to lubricate the operating mechanism without removal of bonnet. Parts to be lubricated shall include anti-friction device, thrust collar, stem threads, bronze stem sleeve and stem pressure seal. Shall employ self oiling system with positive lubrication. Type of lubricant shall be oil suitable for a temperature range of -40degrees F to degrees F. 6. Upper and lower barrel flanges (except those designed to break on traffic impact) are to be integrally cast. Wall thickness of upper and lower barrels to be no less than those called for by AWWA standard C under Table II. (Statically Cast Iron). Ductile iron for lower barrel construction is not an acceptable material. 7. That part of the top operating stem which passes through the bonnet O'Rings Will be encased in a brass sleeve with a rubber O-Ring seal between the stem Surface and the brass sleeve near the lower end of the sleeve. 8. The union between the upper and lower barrels shall be made by a traffic

5 safety device such as a two-part safety flange, four-part segmental coupling, or breakable lugs in combination with breakable bolts. The design will permit rotation of the upper barrel to position the nozzle in any direction. The nozzle position shall not be restricted by bolt hole placement. 9. The lower flange of the upper barrel and the top flange of the lower will be reinforced where flange joins the barrel section by either increased wall thickness or flutes and ribbed construction at that point. 10. The union between the upper and lower stems shall be made by a breakable coupling. The design shall be such that excessive turning torque on the stems in either the opening or closing cycle is not transmitted to the weakened section of the coupling. The stems are to be retained in the coupling by stainless steel clevis pins and cotter pins, or stainless steel bolts and nuts. 11. The main valve assembly is to include double drain valves to operate automatically each time operated without the aid of springs, pins, or toggles. The main valve rubber is to be reversible.

If the bushing type construction is used the bushing must be threadably retained in the shoe and locked in position by lower barrel flange overlap. If drain ring design is used, the drain ring must be retained between the lower flange of the lower barrel and shoe flange with the drain ring housed in a cast iron drain housing. The housing shall be attached to the shoe flange. Pressure seals shall be rubber gaskets or O'rings. 14. The stem threads that extend beyond the lower valve plate shall be protected by sealed ductile iron cap nut or other approved method that is locked to the lower valve plate to prevent premature loosening. 15. The hydrant shoe shall have generous support pads on base and back for blocking and supporting the hydrant. 16. The maximum allowable pressure drops through the entire hydrant as listed below. when tested according to AWWA standard C One 2-1/2" hose nozzle at 250 g.p.m. flow p.s.i. One 4-1/2" pumper nozzle at 1000 g.p.m. flow p.s.i. Two 2-1/2" hose nozzles at 500 g.p.m. flow p.s.i. 17. Main valve and seat ring to be removable through the upper barrel from above ground. 18. All bolting material below ground shall be at least 3/4" in diameter. If bolts smaller than 3/4" diameter are used, they must be of silicon bronze or 18-8 stainless steel. D Test Pressure: 1. Fire hydrants are subjected to two (2) hydrostatic tests per AWWA C standard.

6 E Submittal Data: f.1.1. One (1) test is made on fully assembled hydrant, with test pressure of 300 p.s.i., main valve is open. Except for a maximum allowable leakage of five fluid ounces per minute through drain valves, no other leakage is permitted during this test. f.1.2. Another test is made at 300 p.s.i. with main valve closed, and pressure applied to shoe inlet. No leakage is permitted on this test. f.1.3. All hydrants shall be drained and shipped in closed position. 1. Each bidder shall submit with his bid three (3) copies of: A. Flow loss charts. B. Operation instructions. C. Drawings showing type of material used cross referenced with applicable ASTM numbers. D.
