Right now I have a big problem , we have a job in a country blub that has a wood Matthews fire hydrant from 1968 , the hydrant is fine but the fire depot is making them raise it to meet there odd rules , I am looking for an 18inch extension , I had bought one for a newer hydrant to no avail , we just found out this hydrant must be dug up to in order to put on extension because unlike newer models this one screws out from bottom , any ideas where to find an extension , I will we could just replace but the love that hydrant

I just puled up the manufactures home page, R.D. Wood Co.
And found dozens of "cute" fire hydrants. Bite the bullet and replace with new? We're talking Country Club here. Surely it's not the $.
Good luck, Tom

(OK! I understand. But what's the problem with simply with pulling the hydrant and using a coupling to extend the feed 18 inches? What size is the service? What material is it"? Can you give more details? Cheers, Tom
