Definitions

  • the invention relates to hydrant manifolds for industrial fire fighting at plants and facilities, and in particular to a swiveled hydrant manifold.
  • Manifold as used herein, can include a single port.
  • Fire field logistics present problems that rank nearly as high as equipment-on-hand problems and personnel-available problems when facing an industrial fire fighting response.
  • hydrant manifolds are fixed in regard to the direction they face. Hose that must ultimately run in the opposite direction, thus, must be laid in a large diameter circle in order to effect a 180° turn of the direction of the water without sacrificing head pressure.
  • a 30.5 cm (12 inch) diameter hose may require a 15.2 m (50 foot) turning ratio.
  • the extra hose required to alter the direction of water 180° might be several hundred feet.
  • Large diameter hose is expensive. The cost might run about $2,500 for a 30.5 cm (12 inch) hose. For that reason sometimes hydrant manifolds are placed on both sides of the road, facing in opposite directions, to address this problem. However, a duplication of iron and of header equipment is then required.
  • a swivel with or for a hydrant manifold, can save the cost of providing manifolds on both of sides of a road in order to have a manifold facing in the right direction, and/or can save the cost and expense of carrying and laying extra hose. Since in recent years the size of headers and thus the size of hose and the cost of hose has risen dramatically, the industry is looking for ways to minimize cost and maintenance in regard to fire fighting systems.
  • An example of a known swivel for a hydrant is disclosed in CN2093663
  • US4793557 discloses a swiveled hydrant manifold.
  • Swivels capable of managing thousands of pounds of thrust associated with large fire fighting monitors have been available since the late 1980's, but only from limited suppliers. Williams believes they were the first to provide such large scale swivels, 15.2 cm (6 inch) and larger, for monitors. Williams has extensively tested in-house swivels for monitors capable of operating after months and years of sitting in the weather as well as capable of handling thousands of pounds of thrust from monitors. Williams is in possession of extensive in-house testing in regard to the weathering and force handling properties of swivels.
  • the invention involves appreciating that the long tolerated situation constitutes an unnecessary problem, a waste of hose and logistics complications associated with fixed hydrant manifolds.
  • the invention further involves knowledge of the testing of swivels, large diameter swivels, which testing indicates that a swivel can be provided for fixed hydrant manifolds that will meet the requirements of enduring the necessary thrust and weathering, for the long term.
  • the instant invention therefore, comprises swiveled hydrant manifold, preferably having an incorporated 360° rotating capability.
  • the swivel is structured for location below the manifold and typically above a valve associated with a water delivery system, or a riser pipe.
  • a swivel tested to endure the requisite ranges of thrust and weather, can allow first responders to position a hydrant in a most advantageous direction depending on the location of the hazard, and preferably to lock the swivel into place using a convenient onboard swivel position lock.
  • the swiveled hydrant manifold saves the cost of providing multiple manifolds facing different directions and/or of providing a hundred or more extra feet of hose required to redirect water without undue pressure loss.
  • the instant invention includes a swivel for, use with existing hydrant manifolds as well as for use with its own manifold.
  • the swivel for existing hydrant manifolds offers an alternative for facilities who embrace the importance of having non-fixed hydrant manifolds but already have fixed hydrant manifolds in place.
  • a standard non-swiveled hydrant manifold can be converted into a swiveled hydrant.
  • an end user can unbolt a standard non-swiveled hydrant manifold from the typical hydrant manifold inlet valve or riser pipe, place a conversion swivel on top of the inlet valve or riser pipe and then place the hydrant manifold on top of the swivel.
  • the conversion allows the existing hydrant manifold to swivel and be locked into place via a positive locking mechanism.
  • a bottom fitting of the swivel is preferably stationary and does not move relative to the ground.
  • a top portion of the swivel locks in the needed direction and can preferably rotate 360 degrees.
  • the top portion of the swivel and attached hydrant can be secured in a desired direction and fixed, such as pinned into place via mateable locking holes that register every 22.5 degrees (16 positions) for instance.
  • an at least 15.2 cm (6 inch) swiveled hydrant manifold for industrial fire fighting structured for fixed connection to an above ground valve of an industrial water supply pipe system, the swivel hydrant manifold, comprising; a hydrant manifold; and a swivel connected directly or indirectly to the hydrant manifold and structured for direct or indirect connection to an industrial water supply pipe system to form a swiveled hydrant manifold;
  • the swivel providing an at least 15.2 cm (6 inch) flow conduit and including mating male and female stainless steel sleeves structured for at least 180° relative rotation and having at least two sets of bearings between the male and female sleeves; and an interior water pressure seal and a location for the interior water pressure seal between the male and female sleeves structured to protect bearing contact area from water ingress; wherein the male and female sleeves include flanges with mating holes, and wherein the mating holes are configured for receiving a pin therethrough in order to lock the swive
  • the swivel device comprises a first fitting structured to fixedly attach to an inlet valve or riser pipe and a swivel body structured to sealingly and rotatably mate with the first fitting, the body providing a second fitting to fixedly attach, directly or indirectly, to a hydrant manifold.
  • a locking device is preferably included for setting a rotatable attachment position between the swivel body and the first fitting.
