Pressure monitoring system for wet barrel hydrant

A pressure monitoring system for monitoring a wet barrel hydrant by a remote party, the pressure monitoring system comprising:

• an outer housing comprising a substantially cylindrical sidewall shell and a cap comprising a cap sidewall and a cap end wall, the cap sidewall configured to be coupled to the substantially cylindrical sidewall shell, a center axis extending centrally through the pressure monitoring system;
• a pressure sensor housing coupled to a lower end of the substantially cylindrical sidewall shell;
• a pressure sensor housed within the pressure sensor housing and configured to measure a pressure of a fluid received in a hydrant cavity defined by the wet barrel hydrant;
• and
• an antenna assembly comprising an antenna board, an antenna mounted to the antenna board, the antenna configured to send signals representative of pressure data measured by the pressure sensor to the remote party, wherein the antenna board is configured to be mounted to the cap sidewall so that the antenna assembly is circumferentially surrounded by the cap and is axially spaced from the substantially cylindrical sidewall shell,
• wherein the pressure sensor comprises a sensing end positioned in the hydrant cavity.
