The Knuckle Joint principle in Genuine "Rensselaer" Improved "Corey" Fire Hydrants
means ease of operation because this principle gives great power to open or close
the gate just when it is needed, and speed in movement when power is unnecessary.
The first turn of the spindle, when the gate is open, moves the valve nearly two
inches, after which the speed decreases and power throughout the knuckle joint increases,
until at the time of closing the valve moves scarcely one-sixteenth of an inch
at each turn of the spindle, eliminating danger from water hammer when closing hydrant.The gate is closed very tight with slight application of power to the wrench by the
operator. The drip valve in the Corey Fire Hydrant prevents freezing. No accident or
damage to property can occur with this hydrant by flooding the streets where runaway
teams or other accident breaks off or otherwise injures the hydrant standpipe, if hydrant
was properly closed at time of accident.
It will be readily seen that the hydrant gate is held in position when shut by the
four arms forming braces between the back of the hydrant and the seat, consequently
the hydrant barrel can be broken completely off above the ground, but the valves remain
tight.
