Installation Sheet

Installation:

Types of connections: SWT, CPVC, PEX or FPT

Step 1: If hole is not pre-drilled, you will need to drill a 1-1/4" hole through the foundation. Then insert the hydrant from the outside.

Step 2: Make sure the hydrant is positioned so the spout is facing downwards.

To verify the hydrant is correctly positioned, from the inside the word TOP will be facing up on the inlet connector.

Step 3: Install the hydrant at a slight downward position (angled approximately 5 degrees) to the outside.

This will help to drain properly. This step is critical to ensure frost proof performance.

Step 4: To achieve the correct angle for the PF73 series wall hydrant a plastic shim is provided. Slide the shim between the flange and the siding

to achieve the desired position for the hydrant.

Step 5: If you will be making a solder connection make sure to open the valve before making the connection.

Once valve is open direct flame away from the valve when making connection.

Step 6: For threaded connections wrap pipe threads in the the same direction as the threads and connect pipe to hydrant. Do not over tighten.

Step 7: Once threaded or solder connection is made, fasten the hydrant flange with 2 screws.

Hydrant Maintenance

During freezing weather detach hose from hydrant. Make sure to turn hydrant handle to the

closed position before removing hose.

If hose is not removed, it will not allow the frost proof hydrants to drain properly causing

possible freezing.

If building where hydrant is installed will be without heat for any length of time, then all

water lines should be drained and winterized.
