Kyle, We used to purchase these hydrants and matching ladders from Awards Etc. Since we lost contact with them, we have been cutting out this shape with our lasers. We use flexi brass. This is much less expensive than the original hydrants and much easier to replenish! We can cut ...

Dave, You are certainly not alone! Covid has kicked our butts! We are finding out that some of our "lack of business" has come from many of our small accounts, going out of business! They did not go somewhere else to purchase, they just cease to exist! This has been very difficult ...
