If handled incorrectly the autofrost plug can be dislodged. Therefore they should be lifted and handled by placing a hand under the outlet flange rather than the bend/boss. Hydrants are heavy so always use appropriate lifting devices to avoid injuries. It is essential that staff undertaking these operations are adequately trained to avoid accidents.
During the inspection the following should be checked. 1. All end joints, cover joints and packing for leaks. 2. Tightness of the bolts. INSTALLATION AND USE Before use, the hydrant needs to be cleaned so as to remove dirt. The closing mechanism should be checked to ensure freedom of movement and proper operation.
