    They are universal. You ca. either have the valve right there in fair weather places, or you use extensions to make it below a 2’ 4’ or 8’ frost line.

      I’d imagine it also makes repairs easier. Say a car hits a fire hydrant. It’s really only going to damage the part above ground. Having that part bolted on means you don’t have to dig out and replace the entire thing.
