Simplify installation with a secure, reliable connection.

Multi-column

Versatile Compatibility

Available in NPT, PEX crimp, and PEX expansion styles to fit your plumbing setup.

Leak-Free Performance

Engineered to maintain a watertight seal—even up to one rotation backward.

Durable Construction

Built from corrosion-resistant 316L stainless steel for dependable, long-term use.

As Easy as 1, 2, 3

1: Remove Existing Inlet

Unscrew inlet counterclockwise.

Note: Ensure the O-ring on the Hydrant body is properly seated.

2: Hand Tighten New Inlet

Hand tighten new inlet onto Hydrant body by threading clockwise.

For elbow inlets, rotate counterclockwise until the inlet is positioned in the correct direction for installation. The O-ring will keep a watertight seal up to 360° from full lock, up to 250 PSI.

Note: Never apply Teflon tape to Hydrant body threads. This may cause leaks. Only use Teflon tape on plumbing connection (fitting) threads.

3: Connect to Plumbing

Connect to plumbing, then check for leaks and test Hydrant operation.

For PEX joints, wait 10 minutes for it to shrink down and set before turning on the water.

If possible, use a PEX expansion loop for easy plumbing maintenance down the road.

Easy Peazy PEX Squeezy

As simple as attaching to the Aquor outdoor spigot, attach the PEX water line, and crimp the clamp. No more leaks. No more excessive concerns about water line freezing due to the excess water coming out after detaching the hose. Life is good.

Perfect fit for tight spaces

This works perfectly when you really have a tight space to work with and you want to conceal in the drywall.

Did everything I needed it to do

Quick and easy install. Don't forget you need the expansion tool for this one.

Just what I needed

Fit perfectly for my needs. Easy swap with straight inlet that comes with the V1 + hydrant. Expansion pex makes it easy.

Would not recommend this for concrete block

Okay, so it’s great except for the fact it does not line up with rest of unit when tight. Preventing removal of valve through the mounting plate hole when in stucco/concrete block configuration. You’d be better off using the straight fitting as short as possible and use a PEX 90 and the adapt PEX into fitting. If the 90 had lined up with rest of valve…easily 5 stars

Perfect Fit

Worked perfectly for narrow wall space where normal straight supply connection was not possible.

Extremely well made!

I purchased this to solve a tricky installation in a crawlspace where space was limited and an elbow was needed. The elbow is made from the same high-quality stainless steel as the V1 Hydrant, and is very easy to install. Additionally, once hand tight, it can be rotated significantly to handle supply lines coming in from any direction without impacting the seal, Aquor had great installation videos that gave me confidence to do this installation myself. I'm very impressed with the company, its products and support.

1/2” pex elbow

This allowed for easy in wall connection.

Choose the right connection for your PEX—PEX B uses Crimp style

Accidentally ordered the expansion version which can only be used with PEX A. Reordered the Crimp style needed for PEX B and everything is good

PEX Elbow

Unable to use copper pipe directly into the hydrant. Made the installation very easy, and no leaks!

Pex-expansion adapter

Received the pex-expansion adapter quickly, hand tightened as instructed, turned on the water supply and…no leaks! Works great! Wish there was an option to order the hydrant with the pex-expansion connection included instead of buying an additional piece. Satisfied overall.

Great for attaching water lines in tight spaces, but measure carefully!

The unusual construction of my house exterior wall did not permit running a water supply line in a straight line with the stem of the house hydrant. I needed to run a line to the stem at a right angle. Since I am not using copper pipe with sweat joints, I elected to use a push-to-connect connector with NPT threads on the other end to connect to the inlet. After preparing and screwing in the NPT into the inlet, I only had to push to connect the line to the other end of the NPT, and it works great. The inlet can be adjusted (if turned less than one turn) to align the inlet with the incoming water line. This makes installation so much easier.

But ensure you measure properly, compensating for depth of the angled base of the debris cover, the mounting plate, and the change in length of the stem when the standard inlet is removed and the elbow inlet is installed. The measurements will be different than the regular thickness of your wall, and the length to the inside edge of the elbow inlet will be shorter than the listed length of the stem.

(AND THE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS GREAT!!!)

PEX crimp

Works great. A definite must for PEX pipe install. Keeps you from having a extra point for a leak, and makes a nice clean install.

Worked Like a Charm

As advertised, screwed it in with about three wraps of tape and it was in. No leaks. I recommend it.

Should be INCLUDED with the V2+ version

Since the V2+ version is for NEW construction - most of which is done with PEX these days - the PEX inlets should be INCLUDED with the hydrants. Not happy about having to buy them separately and having unused NPC inlets sitting around, expensive waste.

Perfect for Pex Expansion fittings.

Everything from Aquar has been very high-quality and this elbow Pex expansion fitting is no exception. I highly recommend this one or the straight for PEX expansion.

Yep, it's a 90 degree pex crimp elbow

I bought a few of these, along with various Aquor hydrants. They seem to work exactly as expected and advertised.
