Model 129 Fire Hydrant

Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow

For over 60 years the M&H 129 Hydrant has been produced to protect property and lives.

Hydrants produced in the 1930's are still able to be retrofitted with production parts built today.


M& H Valve & Fitting Co. was founded in New York City as McNab & Harlin Mfg. Co. M&H, as it would become known, had both a brass and a iron foundry on the premises of their factories in Paterson, NJ, as seen in this engraving from the 1854 McNab & Harlin catalog. They produced brass cocks, valves, and "other plumber's materials" and in the 1850s the company sold flip lid style fire hydrants, manufactured by Metropolitan Brass & Iron, from their warehouses in New York City. They also sold a no-name post hydrant similar to the National. In the 1920s M&H Valve relocated to Anniston, Alabama. It was not much longer before M&H Valve began manufacturing their own line of fire hydrants.
The company has gone through change of ownerships including Walworth Valve, Dresser Industries, and now McWane International Inc.

****REMINDER**** Every fire has the ability to be catastrophic. The wildland fire management environment has profoundly changed. Growing numbers of communities, across the nation, are experiencing longer fire seasons; more frequent, bigger, and more severe, fires are a real threat. Be careful with all campfires and equipment.

"I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts, and beer." --Abraham Lincoln
