This review only covers the finding and installation of this unit. I haven’t actually used it yet.
We needed a hot/cold outdoor mixer and faucet for an outdoor dog wash that would fit in a 2x4 framed wall and be easy to winterize (though the weather here is mild). Every product or solution I found was too long for the thickness of the wall, until I found this mixing hydrant with the with inlet elbow which when combined with the lower profile mounting box fit perfectly in the available space. The unit is built like a tank and I expect it to work well. Will plan to submit an another review on how well it works. For now, here are some pictures showing it installed.
My wife was upset with the new faucet and wanted to be able to fill a bucket at the outlet. So, I ordered the spout, and it works great she loves it now. The aquor hydrant is the greatest innovation for exterior faucets since they were invented it is flush with the wall when not in use and has a nice clean look and self-draining an excellent product.
The hose reel is nicer than anything I’ve tried or looked at. Install was super easy and has made my wife happy so that’s a win win
