Full Description

Hydrants of special design, including those having built in hose gates are not covered by this Standard. Hydrants with replaceable sections or components that are specially designed with lower breaking points than the rest of the unit are not explicitly covered in this Standard. Except for the specially designed breakable sections or components, however, such hydrants shall conform to all other requirements of this Standard.
