Terminal - 2" Self-Draining Standpipe
The Terminal City two-inch self-draining stand pipe is a factory assembled unit specifically designed and constructed 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.
Materials
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 draining mechanism have "0" ring rubber gaskets for sealing purposes.
Polyurethane anti-score seating material is used for the valve disc facing.
Accessibility
All moving parts subject to wear are readily accessible from above ground by the removal of the top body casting.
Draining Mechanism
When the stand pipe is not in use the drain poits remain open, thereby providing a diy barrel for frost conditions. During the first turn of the operating rod water is 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.
