Hydra-Shield - HydraStorz Adapters
Extended-life STAINLESS STEEL OPERATING NUTS from Hydra-Shield® can replace old and worn brass hydrant operating nuts. And if you are installing CUSTODIAN® hydrant locks in your system, our operating nuts are available already drilled and tapped for your convenience.
Our Hydra Storz adapter is cold pressed forged made of 6061 Aluminum, heat treated to T-6 with 316 stainless steel butterfly vanes, which opens the storz adapter when water pressure is applied. The Coating on the Hydra-Storz adapter is a MIL-A-8625 Type III anodize. The outer part is hard coat anodized class two (2) with a black color dye additive, while the inner part is a hard coated anodized class one (1) without the color additive process. This coating provides a more durable product finish to help against harsh environments. The benefits of hard coat anodized aluminum would be as follows, corrosion resistance, improved lubrication, increase wear resistance, increase abrasion resistance & non-contaminating.
This configuration makes our storz adapter connectors tamper resistant, reduces maintenance costs and is perfect for mutual aid by standardizing the connection to a 4″ or 5″ base. Our Storz connectors can be installed quickly and easily. A whole system can be converted for a fraction of the cost of conventional storz fittings. (Hydrant Converter)
