The 1/2" x 6" Freezeless Wall Hydrant is engineered for performance in cold-weather environments where exterior access to water is needed year-round. Designed with a frost-resistant configuration and a built-in vacuum breaker, this hydrant provides both freeze protection and backflow prevention in a single, rugged unit.
Whether it's mounted through masonry, siding, or sheathing, this hydrant helps maintain continuous operation during freezing temperatures by allowing water to drain back into the heated interior once shut off. Its 6" length accommodates standard wall thicknesses found in most residential and light commercial applications.
To ensure freeze protection, the hydrant must be installed with a downward pitch toward the outlet, allowing residual water to drain fully after use. A properly pitched and supported installation prevents freeze damage and ensures long-term function. While installation is straightforward for experienced tradesmen, adherence to code and manufacturer guidelines is essential.
Specifying this freezeless wall hydrant on cold-climate projects adds critical protection for exterior spigots, reducing freeze-related failures and minimizing callbacks. Its integrated vacuum breaker also simplifies code compliance related to backflow prevention at the point of use.
The 1/2" x 6" Freezeless Wall Hydrant is a smart choice for projects where dependable outdoor access to water is required without sacrificing protection or code compliance. Add it to your next job and safeguard your installation from freeze damage and contamination risks.
