Modern Centurion®
The advanced design of the Mueller® Modern Centurion Fire Hydrant goes much deeper than its sleek, contemporary external appearance. Inside, the Modern Centurion Hydrant shares many of the same components and performance features with our traditionally styled Centurion Hydrants. Its computer-aided design has smooth transitions and long radius contours to keep turbulence to a minimum, even at high flow rates. The patented Mueller design pays off under actual operating conditions, with minimum pressure loss and excellent flow to the pumper and hose nozzles. It complies fully with AWWA Standard C502 and is well below the limits for pressure loss at all flow rates.
