Product Description
The Murdock Expelo is the original sanitary yard hydrant. It is designed to deliver a high volume of potable fresh water for municipal and industrial uses such as power plants, rapid rail and passage rail services. There are no potential crossconnections between the potable water supply and any drain outlet. After being used, all potable water is held in a selfcontained reservoir below the frost line. When used again, the user operates the handle and the internal piston moves downward to immediately evacuate the reservoir. Unlike other sanitary hydrants that use a timed Venturi to empty their tank, the Expelo does not rely on the operator to run the hydrant for a specified period of time. Positive vacuation of the reservoir is assured every time. With proper installation, year-round operation without the use of heat tape is assured.
