ROGER’S HYDRANT is the world’s leading manufacturer of hydrants for the snowmaking industry, providing excellence for over 30 years. Self-draining/frost-free hydrants are developed specially for snowmaking systems, so they are perfectly suitable for snow making in all weather conditions
Large, sure-grip handle of the hydrant by ROGER’S HYDRANT can be easily adjusted even when covered with ice. Rugged aluminum handle is easily removed to prevent unauthorized valve adjustments. A larger, more expensive pipe is not needed since the 1.5″ or 2″ galvanized steel riser pipe and valve design allows more than adequate water. All hydrants are custom-assembled to your specifications.
ROGER’S HYDRANT provides any standard coupling or adapter. All internal parts are serviceable from above ground – no expensive time-consuming excavation involved. The tapered-seat valve seals tight and can be closed or opened easily under high water pressure with 6-8 turns from closed to open position. The bronze alloy valve body is stronger than ordinary bronze. Large-capacity, automatic drain with several drain holes instead of one, to minimize plugging and give you years of trouble-free service Drains can be purchased separately for your custom application.
ROGER’S HYDRANT also provides Flow Controller – a unique device designed to give you better control of the water flow through our hydrants and valves.
The Flow Controller enables hydrants by ROGER’S HYDRANT to act as though it were several smaller valves when first opened. As the valve is opened, the multiple “small valves” become progressively larger, allowing greater water flow through the hydrants. This principle is especially beneficial when throttling at the hydrant under high operating pressure; it gives you the fine adjustment you need to make perfect snow under marginal and all other conditions.
Designed for pressure ratings of 400 psi, 800 psi and 1200 psi. The higher-pressure hydrants come with a stainless-steel valve seat. All hydrants by ROGER’S HYDRANT have valve plugs made of Delrin for a no-drip seal with low torque required to close the valve.
The benefits of hydrants by ROGER’S HYDRANT – much better control of water flow, especially at higher pressures, elimination of stem vibration, hydrant will not vibrate open, stem will not break, self-flushing when fully opened, above-ground serviceable, five-year guarantee.
