Chapman Valve Mfg. Co.- Multiple Valve Hydrants
List 82s - Part 3
| |
Multiple Valve (internally gated)
| |
These independently gated Chapman hydrants may or may not be List 82 models;
but they are from the same time period.
They lack the pot-bellied appearance of the conventional List 82 model.
Chapman Valve literature describes these as "Chapman post fire-hydrants with
inside independent valve on each hose nozzle". Three different vintages/styles
are shown below; each with a picture of their logo embossing.
All known examples have screw-in nozzles.
This first group has the "lacework" bonnet, typical of pre-1902 vintage List 82s.

Multiple Valve (externally gated)
| |
These Chapman hydrants with bolted on gate valves may or may not
be List 82 models; but they are from the same time period.
Chapman Valve literature describes these as "Chapman post fire-hydrants with
Fig. 2458 independent valve on each hose nozzle". These hydrants have a
conventional bolted flange 2 piece barrel. Two styles/vintages are shown
below.
This first group has the "lacework" bonnet like that found on pre-1902
vintage List 82s.
List 82 hydrants with bolted on gate valves can be found
in the 'circa 1902-1910 group' in Part 3
