HYDRANT-CONNECT

• On-site access to hydrant data with map view.
• Support plate with integrated NFC tag is mounted directly between hydrant number plate and hydrant upper part.
• Direct access to master data, map with neighbor hydrants and maintenance information.

TRENCHLESS REPLACEMENT OF THE VALVE COMMAND ROD

This non-destructive method makes it possible to replace universal command rod  without trenching.
After removal, a new command rod is installed so that the operation of the valve fitting is guaranteed again.

BACKFLOW PREVENTER IN THE UPPER PART 6000

• BFP integrated in the valve housing cover (2x side valve)
• Vent valve integrated in the spindle extension
• Patent pending and SVGW certified (type EA)
• Hydrant performance with BFP in the top part meets standard
• Almost no loss of performance due to BFP

LORNO IN THE TRANSPORT MAIN

The modular system of LORNO is also applicable for transport mains. For this purpose, a specially developed hydrophone system is installed through a closable tapping saddle either:
– Into an already existing manhole or
– Into a shaft system specifi cally designed for this case
The radio-permeable plastic cap allows communication to the server in both variations.
