Remove seized fire hydrant seats in under five minutes. No excavation. No replacement. The hydraulic solution trusted by municipalities and utility crews across America.


When a fire hydrant hydrant seat seizes, the traditional fix means calling in an excavation crew, shutting down the street, pulling the hydrant, and replacing it — all for a part that costs a fraction of the total bill.
This photo tells the whole story: three workers, an improvised lever, and one person flat on the ground. That's the old way. There's a better one.

The IW-24 delivers controlled impact torque through a 1.5-inch square drive — enough to break free even the most corroded, seized hydrant seat in the field. No impact gun for $49 from a big-box store is getting that done.
Operates on any hydraulic system supplying 7–12 GPM at 1,800–2,000 PSI — compatible with most utility truck setups already in service.

This is the IW-24 in action — one operator, standing upright, on an active hydrant, with the tool doing the work. Compare that to the old-way photo: three people, a makeshift lever, and someone laying on the ground pulling with everything they have.
The hydraulic power tube extends down into the hydrant barrel, drives the impact wrench onto the seized seat, and the job is done before a coffee break ends.

The large "D" handle and feathering trigger give operators precise control over torque application — critical when working inside an active hydrant barrel. The design minimizes fatigue even in demanding, repetitive use.
At 43 lbs, the IW-24 is substantial enough to handle serious loads but light enough for a single operator to transport, position, and run without assistance.

The IW-24 U/W is a separate tool in the Stanley Infrastructure lineup — a fully submersible hydraulic impact wrench engineered for applications where the work happens underwater. Think submerged valve vaults, underwater pipeline bolting, and below-grade infrastructure that stays wet.
You'll recognize it immediately — it's the yellow one. Same class-leading 800–3,500 ft-lbs torque range as the IW-24, but built from the ground up for submerged environments. All seals, housings, and components are rated for full submersion.
A different job. A different tool. Contact Intermountain Sales to discuss the right configuration for your application.

Service seized hydrant seats without excavation or full hydrant replacement. Restore hydrant function in minutes and move on.
Handles heavy bolting and fastening across water main, valve, and distribution system maintenance. Precision torque for critical infrastructure.
Any application requiring 800–3,500 ft-lbs of controlled hydraulic torque — pipeline flanges, large-diameter bolting, mechanical fastening.
The separate IW-24 U/W (yellow) is built for fully submerged operations — underwater pipeline bolting, submerged valve vaults, and below-grade wet environments. A different tool for a different job.
Minimal footprint means less traffic disruption, fewer permits, faster turnaround — critical for city utility crews in high-density areas.
One tool covering every standard hydrant seat configuration — carry it on the truck and handle whatever the service call throws at you.
Available in regionally configured kits to match the hydrant models most common in your service area. Both include everything needed to start working immediately.
A single hydrant replacement runs $10,000–$20,000 when you factor in excavation, materials, labor, traffic control, and restoration. The IW-24 removes the hydrant seat without any of it.
Two or three successful hydrant seat saves — jobs that would have meant full replacements — and the tool has more than paid for itself for the life of the crew.
Get a QuoteEliminates the single largest cost driver — the excavation crew, equipment, street restoration, and traffic control.
Preserving existing hydrants reduces material costs and keeps infrastructure out of the landfill.
A seized hydrant that used to take days is back in operation in minutes. Crew efficiency multiplies across an entire hydrant fleet.
No excavator. One truck. One tool. Standard traffic control. That's the full crew requirement.
Fewer hydrant replacements means less cast iron waste and fewer resources consumed per maintenance event.
