These are the main components in the stuffing box of the hydrant. The very
top item is the umbrella operating nut. Directly below that is the dome.
Below the dome, is the packing gland or follower (smaller red part) that is attached
by the two follower bolts. The packing gland/follower slides down into the packing plate which is
attached to the head of the hydrant. Below the packing plate is the seal which goes between the
packing plate and the hydrant head. Behind the seal is the bronze sleeve that the
stem slides into.
