Mueller Co. Gains NSF 61
Approval
Super Centurion 350™ and
Snow Bury Options Now Available
Our Super Centurion
hydrants are certified
to NSF for drinking
water safety. Mueller
Co. constantly strives
Certified to
to achieve the highest
NSF/ANSI 61
standard for quality
and safety of the products that come
into contact with potable water. While
certification of hydrants is not currently
required by the NSF International Joint
Committee on System Components
or the NSF council of Public Health
Consultants, Mueller recognizes the
importance of accountability when it
comes to the safety of our drinking water.
NSF certification ensures our customers
that these products meet the highest
standard of safety for our water supply.
Mueller recently announced two exciting new Super
Centurion™ hydrant options available from the Albertville
(AL) Plant: a 350psi operating pressure and a 6-inch taller
“snow bury” option. The new Mueller® Super Centurion
350 fire hydrant complies with AWWA C502, is UL Listed/
FM Approved, and features a roller thrust bearing to reduce
operating torque under pressures as high as 350psi. The
“snow bury” option features an upper barrel that is 6 inches
taller, providing the hydrant with increased visibility and
nozzles with extra clearance from plow blades in heavy
snowfall areas. This option replaces the need to purchase
a 6-inch above-ground extension to meet nozzle clearance
specs of 24 inches.
