Spec
Early hydrants, the "KCM Spec", were made to a water department design. Current practice is to buy off the shelf hydrant models configured to their specific needs; the "KC-1 Spec". The steamer nozzles are all 4". By specification, the operating stem must open to the right. Within the City limits of Kansas City, MO hydrants are color coded.
