ABSTRACT:
The operating stem of a hydrant is protectively surrounded by a steel collar which upstands considerably above such stem so that only a special deep socket for a wrench can be used to engage and turn the stem. When the hydrant is without a weather guard the collar is fixedly welded directly to the bonnet and has side openings to permit solid objects and water to escape from within and not interfere with the turning of the stem. Where the hydrant has a weather guard, a flanged adapter is welded directly to the bonnet to cover the weather guard and the collar has a flanged lower end whereby it is held in place axially by the adapted but is free to rotate.
