Frequently asked questions
Common questions about SIMMONS from 3G Electric.
What materials are used in SIMMONS foot valves, and what pressure ratings do they have?
SIMMONS foot valves are constructed from silicon bronze, a copper alloy known for corrosion resistance in water applications. The valves are spring-loaded, inline design with female NPT (FNPT) connections. They are rated to a maximum cold working pressure (CWP) of 400 psi. The strainer material is stainless steel, providing filtration to protect downstream pumps from debris. Available pipe sizes range from 3/4 in to 2 in, allowing integration with various pump discharge lines.
What is the flow rate and bury depth of the SIMMONS yard hydrant model 805SB?
The SIMMONS yard hydrant model 805SB has a flow rate of 34 gpm and a bury depth of 5 ft. It is constructed from galvanized steel with a polyester powder coated finish for corrosion resistance. The rod material is galvanized steel, and the hydrant is designed for frost-proof operation in outdoor water distribution systems, such as livestock watering or irrigation.
What are the specifications of the SIMMONS drive well point (MPN 1753-1)?
The SIMMONS drive well point (MPN 1753-1) is made of steel with a 2 in outside diameter and 48 in overall length. It features a 60-micron gauze screen for filtering sand and sediment during groundwater extraction. This well point is designed for driving into the ground to access shallow aquifers, commonly used in residential or agricultural well installations.
What is the compatible drop pipe and casing size for the SIMMONS well seal (MPN 114)?
The SIMMONS well seal (MPN 114) is a cast iron seal with a rubber gasket, compatible with a 2 in drop pipe and a 4 in casing ID. It includes a 0.5 in vent for pressure equalization. This seal is used to close the top of a well casing while allowing the drop pipe to pass through, preventing contamination of the water supply.
Does 3G Electric provide datasheets for SIMMONS products?
