1 Mueller Super Centurion 250 Fire Hydrant Designed for efficient flow and outstanding, long-term reliability

2 Mueller Super Centurion 250 Fire Hydrant psig rating, high flow, dependable performance, 10-year limited warranty...and convenient, reversible main valve Performance is the real test of a fire hydrant. Proven flow characteristics, 250 psig rating, and easy operation and maintenance are among the features of the Mueller Super Centurion Way Fire Hydrant. Plus, the hydrant is backed by a 10-year limited warranty on materials and workmanship, and our plant is ISO 9001 certified, the highest level available. 250 psig working pressure; 500 psig test pressure. Convenient, reversible main valve doubles service life. Advanced safety coupling and flange design reduce traffic damage to hydrant. Convenient replacement kit available. Stainless steel safety stem coupling resists corrosion and assures a tight connection between stem sections. Efficient hydraulic design provides maximum flow. Hose and pumper nozzles are threaded in and field-replaceable. Forced lubrication system and anti-friction washer ease operation. Main valve is easily removed from either the bonnet flange or ground line flange. Fully conforms to AWWA Standard C502 Underwriters Laboratories Listed Factory Mutual Approved

From bonnet to shoe, performance is built in Dry-top design, with unique, self-oiling system, provides automatic, positive lubrication for easy operation, even after years of service.

Dual O-ring seals prevent lubricant loss during shipping, storage or installation and keep water away from stem threads and bearing surfaces when the hydrant is in use.

3 From bonnet to shoe, performance is built in Dry-top design, with unique, self-oiling system, provides automatic, positive lubrication for easy operation, even after years of service. Lubricant is forced over all stem threads and bearing surfaces in the operating mechanism each time the hydrant is operated. Dual O-ring seals prevent lubricant loss during shipping, storage or installation and keep water away from stem threads and bearing surfaces when the hydrant is in use. An antifriction washer and automatic lubrication of the thrust collar add to easy operation. Hose and pumper nozzles are threaded-in for easy field replacement if damaged, or for changeover to different thread style. A special locking method makes installation simple and secure. The nozzles can be faced in any direction by loosening the safety flange bolts and rotating the upper barrel assembly. Improved safety flange and stainless steel stem coupling perform more predictably to protect the main connection from traffic induced damage and minimize damage to the hydrant. If struck by a vehicle, the safety flange breaks away below the ground flange area and the safety stem coupling pulls apart. No loose pieces can fall into the lower barrel where they could affect main valve or drain operation. The high strength stainless steel safety coupling resists corrosion and assures a tight connection between the stem sections during normal hydrant operation. Upon traffic impact, the coupling tears away, leaving the lower stem below ground level where it cannot be depressed by a vehicle tire, and the main valve remains closed. Service is restored quickly and easily without excavation by replacing the safety flange and coupling using a convenient repair kit. Reversible, compressiontype main valve closes with water pressure for positive sealing. Double drain valves are force flushed each time the hydrant is operated and provide drainage of the barrel. A special wrench allows removal of the main valve and seat ring from either bonnet or ground level flange. The main valve is made of durable rubber which provides a long service life, yet is reversible, providing a convenient spare in place. Shoe is designed for maximum flow and easy connection with its smooth transitional contours, extended neck and integral anti-rotation pads, allowing use of standard tee-head bolts. The shoe also has large blocking pads for easier setting and two lugs for strapping. (Strapping lugs are not provided on flanged connections.) The inside of the shoe is covered with Mueller HP Epoxy Coating. The drain ring housing, lower main valve plate and its retaining nut are also covered with epoxy. This thermosetting epoxy forms a tough, corrosion-resistant barrier to chemicals, physical impact and electrical currents. O-ring sealed flanges at the bonnet, ground line and shoe simplify maintenance by eliminating gasket adhesion at these points, making disassembly easier. The O-rings are easier than flat gaskets to position during reassembly, and provide superior pressure handling.

4 1 2 1 Hold-down nut features integral weather seal. Prevents unauthorized removal of hold-down nut or bronze operating nut. Resilient wiper seal prevents water entry and protects from freezing; material resistant to sunlight deterioration. O-ring provides second level seal. 3 2 Anti-friction washer helps assure easy operation over life of hydrant. 4 3 Oil filler plug permits visual check of oil level. Allows addition of oil without removing bonnet Sealed oil reservoir O-ring sealed to prevent leakage. Lubricant is forced over stem threads and bearing surfaces each time hydrant is operated. 5 5 Dual O-ring seals seal in lubricant; seal out water Field-replaceable hose and pumper nozzles O-ring sealed; threaded in place and retained by stainless steel locks. 7 Full flow openings large, smooth radius hose and pumper openings reduce friction loss. 8 8 Heavy-duty, non-kinking chains special chain loop permits free turning of cap. 9 Stainless steel safety stem coupling provides a tight, corrosion resistant connection during normal operation. If vehicle hits hydrant, coupling pulls free without breaking into pieces, preventing stem or main valve damage. Designed so a tire cannot depress stem and open main valve. 10 Zinc-plated bolts and nuts protect against corrosion Safety flange breaks cleanly to help prevent barrel damage, but strong enough to withstand normal handling. Allows economical repair, adding of extension section, rotation or changing of upper barrel without excavation. 250 psig working pressure rating compatible with today s trend toward higher pressure system components. 11

12 Drain valve facings specially designed, long-life plastic facings provide effective sealing. 13 Bronze upper valve plate conical design reduces turbulence.

5 12 Drain valve facings specially designed, long-life plastic facings provide effective sealing. 13 Bronze upper valve plate conical design reduces turbulence. 14 Bronze seat ring threaded into bronze drain ring and O-ring sealed. Can be removed or installed from above ground. Double drain valves force-flush drain openings to keep them open for effective barrel drainage. Bronze drain valves are integral parts of main valve assembly. 15 Reversible, compression-type main valve closes with pressure for positive seal. Rubber material has long service life, yet is reversible, providing a convenient spare in place Cap nut retains main valve. Sealed by cap nut gasket to prevent corrosion of stem threads. Locked in place by a stainless steel lock washer. Epoxy coated to resist corrosion. 17 O-ring flange seals superior pressure handling, easier disassembly and maintenance. 16 Contoured shoe designed for maximum flow. Extended neck and anti-rotation pads allow use of standard tee-head bolts. Mueller HP Epoxy Coating covers shoe interior, main valve lower plate and its retaining cap nut. Drain ring housing is also covered to resist corrosion and deposits, and ease main valve removal. Main valve operation Closed main valve held closed by operating nut and water pressure; barrel is dry. Opening water pressure force-flushes double drain valves and drain openings; establishes drainage field around hydrant. Fully open main valve guides seal drain valves closed. Closing water pressure again forceflushes drain valves. Fully closed drain valves are open to allow drainage of barrel.
