Abstract
A hydrant valve assembly including a valve body including an exit end, a lip extending radially outward from the exit end, a valve seat and a first valve member selectively movable between a first orientation whereby the first valve member is not engaged with the valve seat and a second orientation whereby the first valve member is engaged with the valve seat. An annular retaining plate is supported on the exit end of the valve body and includes a first rod extending downwardly into the valve body, the first rod being arranged to selectively maintain the first valve member in the first orientation. A flange is detachably engaged with and concentrically arranged around the lip, and a barrel is supported on the retaining plate. A plurality of connectors extends through the barrel, the retaining plate and the flange for rigidly coupling the barrel to the retaining plate and flange.
