Mueller Co. - Albertville, AL (see also Columbian
Iron Works)
· hydrants made prior to 1975 were made in Chattanooga, TN
· 4 models can be easily confused with each other: Standard (Type 1), Improved,
107, and Super Centurion. They all have 8 broad vertical flutes cast into the bonnet and
into a short section of the barrel between a "false" O.D. rib and the barrel
joint flange. All 4 models except Standard have an upper barrel flange with an overhanging
skirt that covers the lower barrel flange; the bonnet similarly overhangs the upper
barrel. Differences to look for to distinguish between models include relative height of
bonnet and presence/shape of collar around operating nut.
