This first version of a new lighter weight design with heavier-duty internal assemblies. The operating torque on this new version exceeds 900 ft-lbs. The Adjustable Type Post includes a new patented "No Cut" stem adjustment assembly with over a 21" range. Internal Open/Shut mechanism changed to allow direct heat of a fire without interfering with the operation of the underground valve if required. The lower barrel pipe was 4" Ductile Iron pipe. This first version has a separate bonnet cover held down by two bolts. The name "Mueller" was not cast into the upper barrel, only ALBERTVILLE, AL. Some have a "G" cast below window level. Mueller provided a silver label above the window area. |
