PRIER C-134 Freezeless Wall Hydrant – 1/2" MPT x SWT, 10" Insertion Length

The PRIER C-134 is a heavy-duty freezeless wall hydrant designed for cold climate installations requiring year-round exterior water access. By seating the valve stem inside the heated portion of the structure, the C-134 provides reliable protection against freezing and burst pipe failures. Its robust brass construction, integrated vacuum breaker, and full-flow operation make it a trusted component for exterior hose connections in residential and light commercial settings.

During installation, care should be taken to align the spout correctly and secure the flange to prevent rotation or leaks. For best results, this product should be installed by a licensed plumbing professional.
