Saving Time on Hydrant Installations with ALPHA™ Restrained Wedge Connections
2020
Overview
Shutting down a water supply line for maintenance, repairs and replacement of aging fixtures can be problematic for a water utility. When water supplies are shut down, customer complaints rise significantly, and in some situations, water can only be shut off for short periods of time due to industrial and agricultural demands. The Town of Pittsfield, Maine, was faced with having to replace seven hydrants in a single day and used ALPHA™ restrained wedge end fittings on five of the seven hydrants to achieve this goal. A case study and discussion of the technology used is discussed herein.
