A bearing system includes a first bearing, the first bearing being annular in shape and defining a ring aperture, the first bearing including a first surface and a second surface, a second bearing being substantially the same in construction to the first bearing, a first surface of the second bearing contacting a second surface of the first bearing, wherein each of the bearings is constructed of nylon MDS.

Provided is an enclosure with an integrated hydrant. The enclosure includes a fluid flow conduit that transfers fluid from a fluid supply tube to a fluid outlet, which may be associated with the backflow preventer. The enclosure has a conduit that carries water from the fluid supply tube to the backflow preventer. Thus, a lower profile, lighter, and more aesthetically pleasing enclosure is provided.

The present invention provides an apparatus for identifying irregular flow, at the entrance of hydrant outlet. The apparatus comprised of: a ring shaped housing having interface for connecting on one end the hydrant pipe end and on the other end to the hydrant outlet part, at least two flow detection sensors positioned in said ring shaped housing, located at predefined distance for each other, a processor for analyzing in real-time sensors measurements, by checking time differences between the detectors received signals and differences between measurements level of the detectors, wherein based on said analysis is determined if the liquid flow is in outward direction form the hydrant or in ward direction from into the hydrant and for calculating flow quantity and communication module for sending alerts based on the analyzed data.

The invention is a dual auto hydrant configured to interface independent pressurized water and compressed air sources with snowmaking equipment, such as a snowmaking gun and methods of using same.

A pipe stabilization apparatus is described that stabilizes a pipe partially buried in the ground, such as a plumbing pipe of a yard water hydrant or a gas riser pipe. The pipe is stabilized so that forces and stress on a part of the pipe that extends above ground will not cause pipe breakage or leaks in the pipe or pipe connections that are below ground. The pipe stabilization apparatus includes a first arm coupled to a first clamp, and a second arm coupled to a second clamp. The first and the second clamps are coupled to each other, with the pipe in between, so that the first and the second arm extend from the pipe. A first end of the pipe, the two clamps coupled to the pipe, and the two arms are buried underground with a second end of the pipe extending out of the ground.
