Features:
- Lever control operates by cam principle and provides variable flow from trickle to full force, variable flow with no lock that rusts in place
- Draw straps are made of 1040 hot rolled steel which is much harder (Brinell 175/200) and stronger, greatly reduces wear of straps and eliminates side pull on operating rod, longest operating life

- Heavy duty hose adapter threaded for standard 3/4 in hose coupling
- Extra thick walled head casting greatly reduces breakage and insures longer life, time-proven heavy-duty design takes years of abuse
- Pivot connector with two nuts provides simple positive adjustment and eliminates unreliable set screws, adjustable for years, not like rusted in set screws
- No exposed threads on galvanized rod and threads on galvanized pipe are coated with bitumastic to prevent rusting and prolong life of hydrant, no exposed steel to rust
- Extra thick walled valve body to insure longer life and trouble free service, time-proven heavy-duty design
- Patented plunger arrangement ensures even flow from trickle to full force, closes drain at Any Flow® rate and opens drain in off position to prevent freezing, longest operating life available in the industry by over 200%
- Krayton G cup seals provides a much longer life than leather, close tolerance uniformity, unaffected by chemicals and passed a 1 million cycle test, longest operating seals in the industry
- 3/8L beveled bibb washer made of SBR compound with 90 durometer hardness, assures positive shut-off and longer life than soft one piece plunger, longer operating life than all competitors
- Stainless steel spring takes up slack of normal wear and eliminates numerous adjustments of hydrant head linkage, automatically adjusts for years of service
