Dear Homeowner,
Your plumbing contractor has selected the finest outdoor faucet
available for installation at your property. The patented design
meets or exceeds plumbing codes regarding anti-siphon and
backflow prevention, keeping our potable water system safe.
What's more, the hydrant is self-draining to prevent your
pipes from bursting in freezing weather, even if the hose is left
attached.
A few important features of your new hydrant are as follows:
Your hydrant has drain holes under the packing nut (behind
the handle) that allow the water to drain from the hydrant after
shutoff to prevent freezing. After shutoff, water will drain from
behind the packing nut for a few moments (Figure A). This is
normal and according to design.
As you turn off the hydrant, the water will drain from under the
packing nut as described above.
If you have any questions about the installation or operation of
your PRIER freezeless hydrant, please call PRIER Customer
Service at 800-362-9055, or contact us via e-mail at orders@
prier.com.
MAINTENANCE
The C-434/C-534 Self-Draining Anti-Siphon Wall Hydrant leaves the factory fully air tested and operational.
It is treated with an FDA approved lubrication. The hydrant requires no scheduled maintenance to provide long
life. If the stem is removed, the bypass O-Ring needs to be replaced and lubricated with an FDA approved lubri-
cant to avoid tearing.
