ABSTRACT:
A flush hydrant for purging waterline systems of subdivisions, rural districts, etc. The flush hydrant is used in lieu of a typical fire hydrant for purging such waterlines of foreign matter which may have infiltrated the waterline system as a result of line breakage. The flush hydrant includes a barrel generally having an upper portion extending above ground and a lower portion below ground. The hydrant includes a ball valve assembly mounted in the lower portion of the barrel and an operating rod extending above ground from the valve assembly. The rod operates a closure member in the ball valve between open and closed positions. The closure member is provided with a primary passageway to direct water into the barrel and out of a nozzle secured thereto, and, with secondary passageways to drain water from the barrel to the outside of the assembly after the valve has been closed by the closure member.
