PRIER C-134 Freezeless Wall Hydrant – 1/2" MPT x SWT, 8" Insertion Length

The PRIER C-134 Series is a heavy-duty freezeless wall hydrant designed to provide year-round water access in cold-weather conditions. This hydrant features a self-draining design that prevents freeze damage by seating the valve stem in the heated portion of the structure. Built from corrosion-resistant brass, it meets ASSE 1019 standards and is suitable for residential and light commercial applications requiring reliable exterior water service.

Key Performance Features

• Freeze Protection – Stem extends into the heated interior space to eliminate the risk of frozen pipes during cold temperatures.
• Forged Brass Body – Solid brass construction ensures long-lasting performance and resistance to outdoor elements.
• Multi-Turn Operation – 360° full-turn handle allows precise water flow control and reduces stem wear.
• Drainage Pitch – Built-in downward pitch ensures proper drainage after shutoff, preventing trapped water inside the casing.
• Vacuum Breaker – ASSE 1019 and CSA B125.1 compliant to prevent backflow into the potable water system.

Installation Considerations

The integrated flange simplifies secure wall mounting, especially in siding or masonry applications.
