3.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
The Hydrant Master is a lightweight, low friction-loss hydrant valve that can be used in many water distribution applications. The
valve is powered by (4) AA batteries, pressure activated, and equipped with a power-save mode. A handheld controller with
pressure display and valve position feedback controls the valve up to 1200 feet (366 m) away. Both the valve and handheld are
equipped with backlighting for use in low-light situations. The valve opens and closes with a sliding plug which is compliant with
NFPA 1965 slow close requirements. The valve’s position is controlled by operating a control valve which can be moved manually,
operated electronically from push buttons on the valve, or by wireless remote control.

3.3 CORROSION
Most hose couplings are attached using polymer bearing rings which provide electrical insulation to help galvanic corrosion.
The parts are hard anodized, and powder coated to help prevent corrosion. The effects of corrosion can be minimized by good
maintenance practice. See section
3.12 AIR FLUSH PORT & 6.0 MAINTENANCE
.
3.4 USE WITH SALT WATER
Use with salt water is permissible provided valve is thoroughly cleaned with fresh water after each use. The service life of the valve
may be shortened due to the effects of corrosion and is not covered under warranty.
3.5 LOW TEMPERATURE USE
The valve is designed with self-draining waterways. In extreme freezing conditions, extra precautions should be taken to ensure
control waterways remain free from ice. Residual water should be cleared from the valve after each use. See section
3.12 AIR
FLUSH PORT.
