A hydrant for selectively valving and delivering fluid under pressure to a plurality of different fluid outlets at a plurality of preselected flow rates. The hydrant is provided with a multiple port valve including a hydrant valve housing having at least one fluid inlet and multiple fluid outlets of different flow rate. A valve operating shaft is mounted for axial rotation in the hydrant housing and positioned transversely to a valve seat having a first set of valve ports therethrough annularly arranged on a first circumference about the shaft, and a second set of valve ports are provided through the valve seat and annularly arranged on a concentric second circumference of different diameter than the first circumference about the shaft. The valve ports are connected respectively to the fluid outlet ports. A valve actuator disk secured for rotation with the operating shaft slidably engages the valve seat in a rotary fasion to selectively valve the valve ports open and closed in selected combinations with rotation of the shaft to preselected positions of rotation.

Disclosed is a water manifold that provides a sturdy platform for both distributing water to various other locations or nodes and providing a support platform for a yard hydrant. The manifold is constructed of plastic and will not corrode. Further, the manifold is sturdy and provides a sufficiently large surface area to prevent sinking or tilting of the yard hydrant.

A communications hub for a hydrant can include a plug comprising a non-metallic material and configured to be sealably received within a plug bore defined in a flange of a bonnet of the hydrant, the flange separating an interior cavity of the hydrant from a bonnet cavity of the hydrant; a PCB; at least one battery in electrical communication with the PCB; and an antenna configured for wireless communication with a sensing device located within the interior cavity of the hydrant and in electrical communition with the PCB, the antenna able to receive a wireless signal from the sensing device.

A fire hydrant marker can include an indicator that signals the location of a fire hydrant when the fire hydrant is obstructed. In some examples, the indicator is attached to the fire hydrant by a base. The base allows the indicator to be pivoted between an indicating position and a folded position, thereby providing enhanced user access to the fire hydrant.

A fire hydrant repair tool is provided for removing a main valve of a fire hydrant, wherein the main valve has a pair of ring tabs extending upwardly therefrom. The fire hydrant repair tool can include a valve key having a first receptacle and a second receptacle that are configured to receive, respectively, the first and second ring tabs. Each of the first and second receptacles can define a first face that is configured to bias against the first side of a respective ring tab of the first and second ring tabs, and a second face that is configured to bias against the second side of a respective ring tab of the first and second ring tabs. A shaft can be coupled to the valve key.

A remotely controlled hydrant system which may be quickly and efficiently connected to or disconnected from a hydrant to allow remote control of the hydrant by a remote controller such as a mobile phone. The remotely controlled hydrant system generally includes a frame which may be removably connected to a hydrant, such as a frost-free hydrant commonly used in agriculture. A pair of mount supports are removably secured against the shaft of the hydrant, such as via first and second connectors. An actuator is connected between the frame and the hydrant such that movement of the actuator in a first direction activates the hydrant and movement of the actuator in a second direction deactivates the hydrant. A control unit is adapted to receive activation or deactivation signals from a remote controller and direct operation of the actuator.
