Puerto Rico Spec Puerto Rico became a United States territory as a result of the Spanish-American War of 1898. In 1951 its citizens voted Puerto Rico status as a commonwealth. Current Puerto Rico hydrants are based on hydrants designed for the U.S. market. They differ in appearance with a distinctive step change in barrel diameter just above the bolting flange. Presumably the barrel diameter, bonnet size, etc. above the step are the same as the U.S. market hydrants they are based on; and the change in lower barrel diameter is to step up to an older mounting flange bolting pattern and diameter.
