PRODUCT IMPROVEMENT
The Model 60554 and Model 61654
Hydrant Valve pilot valve options have
grown over the years since the inception
of the dual pilots. The original dual pilot
(option “F”) was designed to be a
pneumatically operated pilot with a manual
lanyard override that would fit into a 12
inch diameter pit box. We also designed a
more rugged version (option “U”) for pit
boxes 18 inches in diameter and larger. In
order to resolve some seal wear issues,
we have made additional design changes
to the “U” pilots. After extensive field trials,
we are now releasing these changes for
production.
If you operate Eaton Carter® brand 60554
or 61654 Hydrant Valves with Dual “U”
pilots, serial number below 21450 and
1359 respectively regardless of age, a
NEW PILOT OPTION NOW AVAILABLE
In addition to the long established
existing hydrant valve pilots:
Option “D” – Lanyard only
Option “E” – Pneumatic only
Option “J” – Pneumatic operated with
bi-directional flow capability
Eaton’s Carter® brand hydrant valves
(Models 60554 & 61654) are now also
PN554110501
“free of charge” upgrade kit (KD60554-13)
is available from your local Eaton Carter®
brand Distributor. The kit includes a new
cage, connector assembly, springs and
several new seals and only takes a few
minutes to install. These kits will remain
free of charge for 12 months from the date
of the release of this “Product News”
bulletin and will be available to purchase
after that date until the end of 2021.
For those locations that suffer from heavy
external contamination, which can result in
jamming the “U” pilot lanyard mechanism,
Eaton has also developed a ruggedized
contamination resistant version of the
lanyard mechanism (part number 47808)
that is available to purchase from your
Eaton Carter® brand Distributor.
available with a new line of “remote”
pilot options. These patented designs
take the concept one step further by
removing the pilots from the Hydrant
Valve and replacing it with a sealed
male disconnect fitting. As a result you
only need to have one pilot for each
hydrant servicer rather than one for
each hydrant valve, reducing cost. The
remote pilot is also sealed and thereby
eliminates issues related to the inward
2
As of the March 31, 2012 the current “F”
and “U” option pilots will become obsolete
and will no longer be available as an
option on newly purchased hydrant valves.
Spare parts, overhaul, and upgrade kits for
the “U” pilots will remain available for 10
years, until the end or 2021.
We are offering three replacement options
for the “F” and “U” “dual pilot” and they are
outlined below. Please feel free to contact
your local Eaton Carter® brand Distributor
for further assistance to ensure that you
are ordering the correct part number.
breathing pistons in the conventional
pilots which can inhale contaminates
resulting in internal corrosion and
increased maintenance. Fuel leakage
into the hydrant servicer’s pneumatic
system is also not possible with this
design. The remote pilots are
compatible with air or fuel command
systems.
New Remote Pilot Disconnects:

Option “X” – Pneumatic only (part number 47576)

– and –

Option “Y” – Pneumatic operated with “fork” mechanism to eject

the remote pilot, effectively making it a dual pilot (part number 47834)

New Remote Pilots:

These remote pilots stay attached to the hydrant servicer via the command
hose and they can be energized with either air or fuel:

Part number 64230 Simple Disconnect (requires manual lifting of the collar to
engage and to disengage)

3
– or –

Part number 64280 Push-On Disconnect can be pushed on, but collar must
be raised to disengage, or will disengage automatically when pulling the
lanyard on the Option “Y”, noted above.

Optional extension handle available on both remote pilots.

New Dual Pilot (for Pit Boxes 18” in diameter and larger):

Additionally, for those users who require the dual pilot to be permanently
attached to the hydrant valve, Eaton now offers a new Option “Z” pilot. This
pilot adopts the sealed piston technology from our remote pilots into a
compact lanyard mechanism that eliminates issues related to the inward
breathing pistons in the conventional pilots. Fuel leakage into the hydrant
servicer’s pneumatic system is also not possible with this design.

Existing hydrant valves can easily be converted to any of the

remote pilot options or new permanent pilot. They eliminate all of
the common maintenance issues related to contaminated fluids
entering the pilot piston area of existing “E”, “F”, or “U” pilots and
also eliminated the possibility of fuel entering the pneumatic
systems on the hydrant servicer.

SERVICE GUIDE FOR THE 47800

Step 1:

Remove the Air Lanyard Assembly (47575) by removing the 4 screws (GF16997-45). It is not necessary
to have the valve in a vice for disassembly but this will be useful for reassembly.

SCREWS  

Step 2:

Remove the Actuator (221622) from the Connector (221794). Take note of the alignment. The Actuator
and Connector should be flush as show below. Upon reassembly the Actuator torque values is 133 inch
pounds. The Actuator O-ring (M25988/1-012) is shown below:
Step 3:

Remove the Piston String (00600-049-1250S) and Actuator Piston (221622) from the Actuator Body
(222260). Upon reassembly apply a light amount of petroleum jelly to the bottom lip of the Actuator
Body.

Step 4:

Inspect the Spring Energized Seal (304A-122) and note its orientation. The open end of the seal should
face the piston face side of the Actuator Piston.

6
Step 5:

Inside the Connector remove the Orifice Screw (29224-3) and O-ring (MS29513-028). Upon reassembly
apply petroleum jelly to the O-ring and insure it is seated properly.

Step 6:

Shown below is the Elbow (5502-2-4) with thread sealant. Always remove the old thread sealant and
apply new upon reassembly. We recommend allowing the sealant to dry overnight before reassembly.

Step 7:

Carefully remove the Spring Pin (.125-1-1.250LDP).

Step 8:

Separate the Lanyard Guide (220474) from the Flanged Connector (221796). Note the hole in the Ball
Retainer (220412). Upon reassembly this hole must align with the hole shown on the Lanyard Guide.

Step 9:

Carefully remove the Spring Pin (.125-1.000LDP) that holds the Poppet Assembly in the Flanged
Connector.

Step 10:

Remove the Poppet (221979) and Poppet Spring (10460). Note the hole in the poppet shaft. Upon
reassembly this hole must align with the hole shown on the Flanged Connector/Ball Housing.

BALL HOUSING

Step 11:

Remove the Ball Housing ( 220409), Spring (C0210-026-125S), Ball Retainer (220412) and three Balls
(220417) from the Flanged Connector.

The reassembly of the Ball Housing, Spring, Ball Retainer and Balls requires compression and rotation
of the assembly. Rotation is necessary to properly install the three Balls. The picture below shows a
fixture that was fabricated to facilitate this processf but a fixture is not required.

Step 13:

Remove Cage (221790) and Valve Stem (222261) from the Hyrant Valve. The O-ring (201201-014) is
the only field serviceable item. When replacing this O-ring make sure that the O-ring does not roll or
pinch and apply a liberal amount of petroleum jelly.

ATTACHING THE ACTUATOR

Fasten the Actuator Assembly to the Hydrant Valve after re-installing the Valve Stem Assembly (47777)
using Screws (3208CSSSPA) and Retaining Tabs (222259) as shown below. An O-ring (MS29514-
114) is installed on the Actuator Body.

Recommendations:

We recommend that all soft goods be replaced when performing any maintenance or repair.
Always use replacement parts supplied by Eaton Corporation. Failure to use replacement parts
from Eaton can result in serious damage to the equipment and to the operator.
Use these guidelines as an addendum to Eaton’s Service Manual SM60554.
Properly test all equipment before returning to service.
Contact your Authorized Ground Fueling Distributor for additional assistance.
