PREMIER FIRE HYDRANT

 

Clow Canada's Premier D-67-M incorporates several new design features and improved components for increased performance in firefighting, 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 Premier's unique Hydra-lubeTM mechanism. The Premier can be rotated to any position -- during or after installation -- without disturbing the working mechanism. The rugged Premier D-67-M stands up to traffic-accident 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.

ACCESSORIES / ALTERNATIVES / OPTIONS

Monitor flange

The Premier is available with monitor flange for use in industrial fire protection in pulp and paper mills, lumber yards or storage areas for inflammable materials. Tthe 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 D-67 and D-67-M models may be converted to incorporate important features of the Premier D-67-M -- easily and without excavation by using the operating nut conversion kit. Kit consists of: - two-piece stainless upper stem - Hydra-lubeTM operating nut - nut retainer gland and gasket - Delrin thrust bearing Specify D-67 kit (1-1/8" sq. stem) or D-67-M kit (1-1/4" sq. stem) All Premier D-67-M components are interchangeable with previous D-67-M models.

Safety flange

Clow's Premier D-67-M is equipped with a cast iron safety flange and grooved safety coupling. The safety flange is snap ring mounted onto a ductile iron intermediate section. If severe impact occurs, breakage will be at the safety flange and coupling. The hydrant body, working mechanism and intermediate section will remain undamaged.

Storz connectors

The Premier is available with a complete line of integral 2-1/2" (65mm) and 4" (100mm) Storz quick connect couplings. The 2-1/2" coupling is bronze; the 4" is made type 316 stainless steel. Both come equipped with a cast iron cap. A complete line of retrofit stainless steel Storz couplings and adapters are available to convert existing D-67 and D-67-M hydrant models in most sizes. Some units are also available to retrofit different brands of discontinued hydrants.
