A nozzle cap spacer for a hydrant nozzle cap comprising:
- a spacer body defining an outer edge and an inner edge, the inner edge defining an opening formed through a center of the spacer body;
- and
- a leak path notch formed in the spacer body, the leak path notch extending radially inward from the outer edge of the spacer body.
A spaced nozzle cap assembly comprising:
- a nozzle cap comprising a cap body, the cap body comprising a bore sidewall defining a bore, the bore sidewall further defining a leak channel;
- and
- a nozzle cap spacer received within the bore and defining an outer edge, a leak path notch extending into the nozzle cap spacer at the outer edge, the leak path notch aligned with the leak channel.
A nozzle cap spacer for a hydrant nozzle cap comprising:
- a substantially planar spacer body defining an outer body edge;
- and
- a resilient spacer spring arm extending from the outer body edge at a proximal arm end, the spacer spring arm configurable in an extended orientation and a compressed orientation, the spacer spring arm biased to the extended orientation;
- wherein, in the extended orientation, the nozzle cap spacer defines a substantially oblong shape, and in the compressed orientation, the nozzle cap spacer defines a substantially circular shape.
