Versatile Compatibility

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

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.
