The HuMat hydrant connection used by many departments on the east coast was designed by a fire fighter from Baltimore County named Hurley Mathews he was assigned to Station 8 in Fullerton.

Bob Hughes, Hurley Matthews (retired, Baltimore County, MD FD and current volunteer for the Blacksburg, VA FD) and Nick Borst founded Humat, Inc. to develop and market to the fire service products that improve water handling on the fire ground.
So what was the other valve name, that was before the Humat, used by Baltimore City and I think the county as well???
