As Easy as 1, 2, 3

1: Remove Existing Inlet

Remove existing inlet by unscrewing counterclockwise. Ensure the O-ring on the Hydrant body is properly seated.

Note: DO NOT use Teflon tape on hydrant body threads. This may cause leaks. Only use Teflon tape on plumbing connection (fitting) threads.

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.

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.

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.

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.
