Information

The Metropolitan (Thames) valve key designed to operate hydrant valves can be supplied in three socket sizes. These are listed below:

Standard Socket         35mm square socket (Designed to fit valves on pipe sizes of 2” – 12”)

Jumbo Socket              42mm square socket (Designed to fit valves on pipe sizes of 14” – 20”)

The different valve keys can be referenced in the table below:

Please note: Depending upon valve manufacture there can be an overlap between Jumbo and Euro fitments. Therefore it is beneficial that sizes are checked prior to order. This is best achieved by measuring the top of the valve spindle.
