Before removing any bolts(s) holding the hydrant together, shut off gate seat to isolate hydrant from main water source. Loosen
(do not remove) the pumper nozzle cap by slowly pulling the opening tool wrench downward slightly and check for water under
pressure inside hydrant - bleed off any pressure, then remove nozzle cap completely. Open hydrant main seat completely.
A continuous flow of water, no matter how slight, indicates hydrant is not properly isolated from the main water supply, and
that problem must be corrected before any hydrant disassembly can proceed. Disassembly of hydrant with pressurized water
acting against the main seat could result in unexpected ejection of hydrant parts, debris or high-pressure water stream, which
could cause serious bodily injury.

INTRODUCTION
This manual applies to all Sigelock Systems 5 ¼ Spartan
Fire Hydrants. Sigelock Systems has developed a
revoluonary fire hydrant that delivers dependable and
reliable operaon when the need arises. The Spartan’s
security design feature is a breakthrough in hydrant
technology.
Introduced in 2011, the Spartan hydrant is rated at 300
p.s.i.g. and is seat tested at 600 p.s.i.g. The Spartan
meets and exceeds applicable requirements of AWWA
C502-05 for dry barrel hydrants.
The Spartan hydrant has all the tradional features you
expect from a high quality fire hydrant and more.
This instrucon is issued as a recommendaon to the
customer for the proper use of Sigelock Spartan fire
hydrants.
UL APPROVALS

RECIEVING INSPECTION
AND TESTING
Inspecon
To ensure their readiness for instantaneous use, it is
recommended that Fire Hydrants be inspected and
tested at twelve-month intervals. Aer each use in
extremely cold weather, hydrants should be inspected
specifically for drainage.
Inspecon should cover the following points:
a. External inspection − paint, caps, etc.
b. Seat leakage − aquaphone check
c. Hydrant, drain and nozzle leakage − pressure
test of entire hydrant
d. Hydrant drainage
e. Operate from full close to full open and re-
close.
Tesng
1. Remove pumper nozzle cap using the Sigelock
Opening Tool and All-in-One Wrench. Tighten hose
nozzle caps with All-in-One Wrench. Stand on the side of
hydrant opposite the pumper nozzle. Turn operang nut
to fully OPEN posion, flush barrel and hydrant lateral.
Turn operang nut to fully CLOSED posion.
2. Use Sigelock base model pumper cap (separate) to
seal off pumper nozzle and tighten with All-in-One
Wrench. Turn operating nut to fully OPEN position.
Check all flange connections for leaks. Turn operating
nut to fully CLOSED position.
3. Remove all nozzle caps. Clean and lubricate threads if
necessary. Examine inside of barrel to make certain
drain outlets have completely drained water from
barrel. If water fails to drain from barrel, it may be
caused by one or more of the following conditions:
a. Water table in ground is higher than drains.
b. When the hydrant was installed, coarse
gravel was not placed around drains, in locations
where ground has a make up such that it will not
absorb water.
c. Drains are stopped by some foreign material.
d. Failure to leave cap off of hydrant to allow air to
enter so barrel will drain.
4. Return pumper nozzle cap into nozzle section housing
and bring to fully locked position. Remove All-in-One
Wrench and disengage Opening Tool.
Upon receipt, inspect for direcon of opening, correct nozzle threads, color, missing parts, and shipping damage. Report
any problems to carrier, note on bill of lading and have driver sign your copy.

INSTALLATION
1. When hydrants are received, they should be handled
carefully to avoid breakage and damage to flanges. Keep
hydrants closed until they are installed. Protect stored
hydrants from the elements if possible.
2. Before installation of hydrant, clean piping, base and
drain ring of hydrant of any foreign material. Check for
loose bolts at base, groundline and cover. Tighten if
necessary.
3. Hydrants shall be located as shown or as directed and
in a manner to provide complete accessibility, and also
in such a manner that the possibility of damage from
vehicles or injury to pedestrians will be minimized.
When placed behind the curb, the hydrant barrel shall
be set so that no portion of the Pumper or Hose Nozzle
Cap will be less than 6 inches, nor no more than 12
inches from the gutter face of the curb. When set in the
lawn space between the curb and the sidewalk, or
between the sidewalk and the property line, no portion
of the hydrant or nozzle cap shall be within 6 inches of
the sidewalk.
4. All hydrants shall stand plumb and shall have their
nozzles parallel with or at right angles to the curb, with
the Pumper Nozzle facing the curb. Hydrants shall be set
to the established grade, with nozzles at least 20 inches
above the ground, as shown or as directed by the
engineer.
5. It is recommended practice to install an auxiliary or
secondary gate main in the lateral between the hydrant
and the main to permit inspection and repair of the
hydrant without shutting down mains.
6. On traffic hydrants, be sure the earth is firmly
compacted around the barrel to support the lower
barrel against side loading. If the soil is too sandy and
will not support the loads, pour a concrete pad around
the barrel at or near the groundline at least 6 inches
thick and 36 inches in diameter for barrel support.
7. Whenever a hydrant is set in soil that is pervious,
drainage shall be provided at the base of the hydrant by
placing coarse gravel or crushed stone mixed with
coarse sand, from the bottom of the trench to at least 6
inches above the drain opening in the hydrant and to a
distance of 12 inches around the elbow. It is recom-
mended to place plastic or mesh sheathing above the
crushed stone and wrapped around the standpipe to
prevent soil from settling.
8. Whenever a hydrant is set in clay or other impervious
soil, a drainage pit 24 inches in diameter and 36 inches
deep shall be excavated below each hydrant and filled
compactly with coarse gravel or crushed stone mixed
with coarse sand under and around the elbow of the
hydrant and to a level of 6 inches above the drain
opening.
9. Restrain hydrant movement with appropriate thrust
blocking or restrained joint to prevent pipe joint
separaon.
10. When first installed, the hydrant should be operated
from full closed to full open posion and back to make
sure no obstrucons are present.
11. Aer the line as well as the hydrant have been
hydrostacally tested, the hydrant should be flushed
and then checked for proper drainage.
IMPORTANT - Inial installaon of hydrant MUST BE
MADE PROPERLY so the Sigelock Safety Flange will
funcon properly. Hydrant should be blocked at ground
line and around shoe using concrete or similar
substance to prevent ground from giving way when
hydrant is struck.
For addional informaon on hydrant anchorage,
blocking, and drainage, see AWWA Standard C600 and
Manual M17.

SPARTAN TESTING
AWWA C502 permits dry−barrel hydrants with
unplugged drain outlets to have an allowable leakage
of 5 fluid oz/min (0.25 mL/s) through the drain holes.
Therefore, the main gate should not be opened at the
same time that the water main is tested. The auxiliary
gate should be closed during water main tests (see
AWWA C600).
Aer the hydrant is installed and, when possible, before
backfilling (and aer pressure tesng the
water main), the hydrant should be tested as follows:
a. Pressure Test at Main Pressure
b. Pressure Test at Pressure Above Main
Pressure
c. Drainage Test for Dry-Barrel Hydrants
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
Operaon
The thrust bearing hydrant requires a minimum of
torque to operate. It is possible to damage the hydrant
by forcing it beyond its limits of travel with excess
torque; therefore:
1. Check direction of opening as marked on the hydrant
nozzle section (top).
2. To open, first remove the pumper nozzle cap using the
Opening Tool and All-in-One Wrench. Using the All-in-
One Wrench, turn the operating nut until the main seat
hits the stop in the opening direction (approximately 15
turns). Do not force the hydrant in the opening direction
beyond full open as indicated by sudden resistance to
turning. If water does not flow when the hydrant is
open, it is probably due to a closed main gate upstream
from the hydrant.
3. To close, turn the operating nut in the closing
direction slowly, to minimize the “water hammer” effect,
until the gate main stops off the flow. It is not neces-sary
to close this style of hydrant with great force. Once the
flow has stopped, loosen the operating nut slightly (1/4
turn) in the opening direction to take the strain off the
operating parts of the hydrant and to make it easier to
open the hydrant.
Maintenance
Note: Where grease is specified, use Food Grade Silicon
Grease.
1. At me of inspecon, add grease to the operang nut
using the grease fing located in the center of the
pentagon. It will be necessecary to remove the pumper
nozzle cap in order to expose the operang nut and
grease fing. It is not necessary to dissasemble the
operang nut from the nozzle secon housing unless
the operang nut is in need of replacement.
2. If it is desired, add grease to nozzle cap threads with
Food Grade Silicon Grease.

FACING OF HOSE NOZZLES
4. Lift and and rotate nozzle section housing as desired.
5. Tighten operating nut, turning in closing direction.
6. Tighten nuts on safety flange bolts.
7. Turn operating nut in closing direction to make sure
main gate is closed tightly, then turn in opening
direction approximately 1/4 turn to relieve tension on
operating mechanism.
8. Return pumper nozzle cap into nozzle section housing,
then lock and disengage Opening Tool.
Should a hydrant be struck by a vehicle such that the
nozzle secon housing is severed from the standpipe,
the following procedure should be followed to
reassemble the hydrant and make it operaonal. (A
traffic damage repair kit for the specific hydrant is
required to perform this procedure.)
1. It is necessary to close auxiliary or secondary main in
the lateral to isolate hydrant from the water supply.
2. Inspect the nozzle section housing to determine if any
of the components are fractured. Should cracking or
fracture of any other component occur, it should be
replaced.
DIAGRAM
REPLACING SAFETY FLANGES
AND SAFETY COUPLING
3. Remove the broken safety flanges from the nozzle
section housing by removing the safety flange bolts.
(Note: discard old safety flanges, nuts and bolts.)
4. Remove the broken safety coupling segment from the
upper stem by removing the self locking cotter pins and
verify that the upper stem is undamaged.(Note: discard
old self locking cotter pins.)
5. Inspect the standpipe and clean any dirt or debris
from the gasket seating surface.
6. Use the Opening Tool and All-In-One Wrench to
remove the pumper cap from nozzle section housing.
1. Remove pumper nozzle cap using Opening Tool and
All-in-One Wrench.
2. Loosen nuts on the safety flange bolts.
3. Turn operang nut slightly in the opening direcon to
relieve compression between nozzle secon housing
and standpipe secons.
SIGELOCK SYSTEMS, LLCSPARTAN 5 1/4 FIRE HYDRANT 10

(Note: It is recommended that the hydrant be firmly
secured before aempng to remove the pumper cap
while the hydrant is on the ground.)
7. Turn the operating nut, while holding the upper stem
until the stem lowers a few inches below the hydrant
flange; this will extend the upper stem and ease the
replacement of the new safety coupling.
8. Remove the self locking cotter pin from the lower
stem and verify that the stem end will receive the new
safety coupling. (Note: Discard old self locking cotter
pin.) (Note: If the lower stem will not receive a new
safety coupling, the main seat assembly must be
removed and the lower stem will need to be replaced,
see Removing Main Gate from Lower Barrel, Page 12)
9. Orient the new safety coupling such that the end with
the arrows and word “TOP” is placed on the upper stem
such that the hole in the safety coupling aligns with the
hole on the upper stem. Lock the safety coupling in
place with new stainless steel self locking cotter pin.
10. Place a new standpipe o-ring on the standpipe
secon. (Note: discard old standpipe o-ring.)
11. Li the nozzle secon housing assembly and posion
it over the standpipe secon. (Note: It is recommended
that the nozzle secon housing assembly be lied with
the assistance of a stable boom arm capable of securely
liing 200 lbs. It will be necessary to remove both hose
caps so that a strap can be fed through the nozzle
section housing.) Align the safety coupling on the upper
stem with the lower stem such that the bottom hole in
the coupling aligns with the top hole on the lower stem.
12. Slide the safety coupling over the lower stem and
insert new stainless steel self locking cotter pin.
(Note: Once the safety coupling is lowered near the
lower stem, it is easiest to do any incremental
adjustments by turning the operating nut respectively.)
13. Rotate the hydrant to position the pumper and hose
nozzles in the desired orientation to the curb.
Lower the nozzle section housing until the flange is
resting on the standpipe. Be careful to position the
standpipe gasket to achieve full coverage of the end
faces of the flange and standpipe. (Note: While lowering
the nozzle section housing onto the standpipe, a pinch
point exists. Keep fingers clear!)

REMOVING MAIN GATE FROM
STANDPIPE
1. Shut off water at the auxillary or secondary main.
2. Remove the pumper cap using the Opening Tool and
All-In-One Wrench. Once the pumper cap has been
removed, remove the hose caps using the All-In-One
Wrench.
3. Open the operating nut until it bottoms out by
turning the operating nut in the OPEN direction.
4. Remove safety flange bolts and safety flanges.
5. Li nozzle secon housing. (Note: It is recommended
that the nozzle secon housing assembly be lied with
the assistance of a stable boom arm capable of securely
liing 200 lbs. It will be necessary to remove both hose
caps so that a strap can be fed through the nozzle
secon housing.)
14. Turn the operang nut in the closing direcon to
bring the upper and lower secons together. Then
install new safety flanges from the repair kit by posion-
ing them under the lip at the top of the standpipe and
bolng them to the nozzle secon housing with the
supplied stainless steel bolts and nuts. The safety
flanges should be installed so that the markings are
facing upward with one flange for the front secon and
one flange for the rear secon.
15. After nuts have been started on all bolts, tighten the
flange bolts in an alternating pattern to a torque value
of between 100 and 120 ft.−lbs.
16. Once the hydrant has been reassembled, it is
essential that it be operated to determine that it is fully
functional. Turn on water at the auxillary or secondary
main.
17. After operation testing is completed, turn operating

6. Once the nozzle secon housing assembly is elevated
to a suitable distance from the standpipe, about 4”,
remove self locking cotter pin from the upper stem.
(Note: Make sure the upper and lower stems are not in
tension when attempting to remove the cotter pin by
turning the operating nut appropriately.)
7. Completely remove nozzle secon housing assembly
from standpipe. (Note: When setting the hydrant, it is
first recommended to turn the upper stem by hand in
the closing direction in order to raise the stem so that
the hydrant will not tip over when it is set on the
ground.)
8. Remove standpipe o-ring from standpipe. Remove self
locking cotter pin from the lower stem and remove
safety coupling.
9. Slide the slotted end of Seat Wrench over the lower
stem. Align slots in wrench so that the grooved pin in the
lower stem will side through the slots. Place the guides
of the Seat Wrench into the top of the standpipe for
stability.
10. Remove main gate assembly by turning the Seat
Wrench anti-clockwise to unthread the seat ring. Lift out
Seat Wrench, lower stem, main gate assembly and seat
ring from hydrant standpipe.
11. To disassemble lower hydrant assembly, unscrew
bottom plate nut and remove bottom plate nut o-ring,
lower plate, main gate, main seat ring and
tri-arm top plate. Clean, inspect and replace any
damaged parts. Inspect and lubricate top and bottom
seat ring o-rings (replace if necessary). Lubricate all
threaded surfaces and reassemble, with bottom plate
nut ghtened to 100 -lbs.
12. Lower main Assembly and carefully thread seat ring
into the drain ring at the base of the hydrant hand-
tight. Raise the main gate assembly leaving about 1/2”
of play between the main gate and seat. Lower Seat
Wrench over the lower stem. Place the guides of the
Seat Wrench into the top of the standpipe for stability.
13. Tighten main gate to 200 ft-lbs. Remove Seat
Wrench.
14. Turn the operating nut, while holding the upper
stem until the stem lowers a few inches, about 4”,
below the hydrant flange; this will extend the upper
stem and ease the alignment of the safety coupling
with the lower stem.

15. Re-attach the safety coupling onto the lower stem
and align it with the lower stem such that the bottom
hole in the coupling aligns with the top hole on the
lower stem.
16. Lift nozzle section housing assembly and position it
over the standpipe section. (Note: It is recommended
that the nozzle section housing assembly be lifted with
the assistance of a stable boom arm capable of securely
lifting 200 lbs. It will be necessary to remove both hose
caps so that a strap can be fed through the nozzle
section housing.)
17. Slide the lower stem into the safety coupling and
insert stainless steel self locking cotter pin. (Note: Once
the lower stem is lowered near the safety coupling, it is
easiest to do any incremental adjustments by turning
the operating nut respectively.)
18. Rotate the hydrant to position the pumper and hose
nozzles in the desired orientation to the curb. Lower the
nozzle section housing until the flange is resting on the
standpipe. Be careful to position the standpipe o-ring to
achieve full coverage of the end faces of the flange and
standpipe. (Note: While lowering the nozzle section
housing onto the standpipe, a pinch point exists. Keep
fingers clear!)
19. Turn the operang nut in the closing direcon to
bring the upper and lower secons together. Then
install new safety flanges from the repair kit by posion-
ing them under the lip at the top of the standpipe and
bolng them to the nozzle secon housing with the
supplied stainless steel bolts and nuts. The safety
flanges should be installed so that the markings are
facing upward with one flange for the front secon and
one flange for the rear secon.
20. After nuts have been started on all bolts, tighten the
flange bolts in an alternating pattern to a torque value
of between 100 and 120 ft.−lbs.
21. Once the hydrant has been reassembled, it is
essential that it be operated to determine that it is fully
functional. Turn on water at the auxillary or secondary
gate.
22. After operation testing is completed, turn operating
nut in closing direction to make sure main is closed
tightly, then turn in opening direction approxi-mately ¼
turn to relieve tension on operating mecha-nism.
Return all pumper and hose caps.

SPARTAN TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE
Problem
1. Operang nut turns freely but hydrant does not open.
2. Ground around hydrant is highly saturated.
3. External leakage is noced around the operang nut.
4. Operang nut is extremely hard to turn.
5. Water is dripping around nozzles.
6. Hydrant will not drain properly.
Soluon
1. Inspect safety coupling for breakage and insure lower
main gate pins are properly installed.
2. Remove pumper nozzle cap and close hydrant. Check
with listening device to determine if water is passing by
main gate. If it is determined that the main gate is
leaking, try the following:
a. Flush hydrant in fully open position (watch to see
if rocks or other foreign objects flush out of the
barrel).
b. After flushing for several minutes, shut off the
hydrant. Watch for several minutes to see if flow
stops. Place hand over open Pumper Nozzle; suction
should be felt, indicating hydrant is no longer
leaking and drains are working properly.
c. If flushing does not solve the problem, it would
indicate that something is trapped or has damaged
the main gate. Follow the seat removing instruc-
tions to replace the main.
d. Check threads on bronze seat to be sure that it is
not damaged. If threads appear worn or bent,
replace the bronze seat.
e. If replacing the main gate does not stop the
leakage, bolting at the hydrant shoe may be loose or
the base gasket is damaged. The hydrant must be
excavated to make the repair.
3. This indicates that o−rings are cut or missing. O−rings
can be replaced without shung off the water. See
repair secon of the manual for proper replacement.
4. Replace the thrust washers in the hydrant head. If this
does not solve the problem, remove the hydrant seat
and flush thoroughly. Note: Where grease is specified,
use Mysk FG−2 Food Machinery Grease.
5. Close hydrant and remove pumper and hose nozzle
caps and replace cap gaskets. Check the nozzle to be
sure that it is properly installed. Hydrants have an o-ring
behind the nozzle. If leakage is coming from behind the
nozzle, replace the o−ring.
6. a. Check to be sure the water table has not
risen too high to allow for drainage.
b. Flush hydrant to be sure drains are clear.
c. Open hydrant slowly several turns while leaving
caps firmly in place to insure hydrant drains are
clear. Close hydrant and repeat this procedure.
d. Do this slowly three or four mes. If this does not
solve the problem, remove the hydrant seat assem-
bly and check the drain facings. If no problems are
found, excavate the hydrant to see if concrete or
other materials have blocked the drain holes.
16. Once the hydrant has been reassembled, it is
essential that it be operated to determine that it is fully
functional. Turn on water at the auxillary or secondary
main gate.
17. After operation testing is completed, turn operating
nut in closing direction to make sure main gate is
closed tightly, then turn in opening direction approxi-
mately ¼ turn to relieve tension on operating mecha-
nism. Return all pumper and hose caps.

Soluon
1. Inspect safety coupling for breakage and insure lower
valve pins are properly installed.
2. Remove pumper nozzle cap and close hydrant. Check
with listening device to determine if water is passing by
main valve. If it is determined that the main valve is
leaking, try the following:
a. Flush hydrant in fully open posion (watch to see
if rocks or other foreign objects flush out of the
barrel).
b. Aer flushing for several minutes, shut off the
hydrant. Watch for several minutes to see if flow
