General Information

American Flow Control (AFC) and Waterous Company are advising all users of Waterous fire hydrants that grease used in Pacer Models WB67-250 and W67-250, and Trend Model WB77 fire hydrants with year markings of 1999 through 2004, contains an acetate additive which makes corrosion of the operating rod possible. Once the process of corrosion starts, the condition worsens over time, making hydrants difficult, or in extreme cases, impossible to operate. A fire hydrant that is difficult or impossible to operate poses a serious threat to life and property.
