ABSTRACT:
This invention generally relates to fluid valves and, more particularly, to water supply hydrants. The hydrant (40) according to the invention comprises a handle assembly (60) which is operationally mounted to a valve (100) which, in turn, is fluidly interconnected to a source of pressurized fluid. The handle assembly is configured so that a limited amount of rotation of the handle assembly actuates the valve. In one embodiment, the handle assembly is provided with an axial conduit which is adapted to dispense fluid delivered from the valve. In another embodiment, a flexible conduit is located between the handle assembly and a body portion of the hydrant so that the fluid dispensed from the hydrant can be aimed in a particular direction.
