BRIGADIER FIRE HYDRANT

M67 Brigadier now 250 p.s.i. FM Approved

Clow Canada's Brigadier M-67 incorporates several new design features and improved components for increased performance in fire fighting, along with greater durability, economy and convenience. These hydrants are manufactured in Canada to the highest standards of quality -- every unit is thoroughly tested before leaving the Clow factory. Lubrication is assured through the Brigadier's unique Hydra-lubeTM mechanism. The Brigadier can be rotated to any position -- during or after installation -- without disturbing the working mechanism. The rugged Brigadier M-67 stands up easily to traffic damage. It is designed for easy upkeep, repair and replacement of parts; its internal assembly can be removed and replaced in 20 minutes, without excavation. Alternative design options and accessories serve a wide range of municipal and industrial needs.

ACESSORIES / ALTERNATIVES / OPTIONS

	Monitor flange The Brigadier is available with monitor flange for use in industrial fire protection in pulp and paper mills, lumber yards or storage areas for inflammable materials. The hydrant's 3" (76mm) flanged outlet is faced and drilled to ANSI 125, suitable for connecting a long radius flanged elbow and standpipe for mounting a monitor nozzle.
	Conversion kit Previous M-67 models may be converted to incorporate important features of the Brigadier M-67 -- easily and without excavation. Kit consists of: Operating nut conversion: - two-piece stainless upper stem - Hydra-lubeTM operating nut - nut retainer gland, gasket and fasteners - Delrin thrust bearing Lower valve plate conversion: - Brigadier extended lower valve plate complete with o-ring and locking device - valve disc (urethane or SBR) All M-67 Brigadier components are fully interchangeable with previous M-67 and M-59 models
	On-line hydrant Clow's on-line fire hydrant is suitable for service in cold climates where buries are lengthy, and it is feasible and economical to bolt the hydrant directly on a tee installed on a main. An 8" (203mm) flanged spool piece replaces the conventional hydrant elbow; the spool piece flange has 8 holes of 7/8" (22mm) diameter, on a 9 1/2" (242mm) bolt circle diameter.
	Flush hydrant Clow provides a flush-type hydrant especially designed for areas which must be kept clear of all obstructions, such as airports. Nozzles and operating nut are located in a cast iron box, the top of which is level with the groundline. "Clow" and year of manufacture are cast on the cover, with special lettering supplied to order. Other industrial applications include places where the surface is kept clear of snow or ice by underground heating. This hydrant is available with two hose connections or one hose and one pumper connection. Surface box may have piped drain (which could be connected to elbow drain) or with drain plugged requiring pumping out after each use.
	Wall hydrant Clow's wall-type hydrant is of special interest where space is at a premium. The interior parts of the hydrant are located inside the building, and the hydrant protrudes from the face of the wall approximately 8" (203mm). Note: When ordering, please specify wall thickness (X) and distance from outside of wall to centre of hydrant inlet (Y), as well as other required specifications.
