Self-Draining Standpipe

The Terminal City two-inch self-draining stand pipe is a factory assembled unit specificially designed and consrtucted to take the place of "in-field" component assembled units. 

The self-draining stand pipe can be supplied with 2-1/2" B.C. Std hose outlet.

The unit is manufactured with bronze operating and draining components. The valve seating surface, main body, operating thread and spindle are manufactured with A.S.T.M. B-62 bronze.

The stuffing box and drainng mechanism have "0" ring rubber gaskets for sealing purposes.

Polyurethane anti-score seating material is used for the valve disc facing.

All moving parts subject to wear are readily accessible from above ground by the removal of the top body casting.

When the stand pipe is not in use the drain ports remain open, thereby providing a dry barrel for frost conditions. During the first turn of the operating rod water in expelled through the drain ports as well as rising in the barrel of the stand pipe. This allows the drain ports to be flushed and removes any foreign material which may become lodged in the mechanism. During the remaining opening turns the drain mechanism is closed.

After closing it is recommended that the stand pipe be allowed to drain before replacing the port cap on the outlet.
