INSTALLATION
For convenient maintenance, PRIER recommends installing a
shut-off valve in front of each hydrant.
1. Dig hole 2' beyond bury depth (example: for a 5' bury hydrant, dig a 7'
hole).
2. Install a large stone or block under the supply line to prevent sagging
and damage to the supply line. A set of boards attached directly below
the earth guard cap can be used as cross braces to support the hydrant
while inlet connections are made.
− IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP THE EARTH GUARD CAP
2-3" ABOVE GRADE FOR FUTURE HYDRANT SERVICING
− KEEP A MINIMUM OF 15" CLEARNACE FROM BASE OF
HYDRANT FOR FUTURE MAINTENANCE
3. Flush the water out of the supply line to remove foreign
particles before connecting the water line.
4. Connect the water line using a plastic (non- metallic)
adapter (Tee, 90° Elbow, etc.) to connect bury hydrant using
the 1" Female NPT inlet. Make sure to use thread sealant.
When tightening the hydrant use the hex provided at the
inlet of hydrant to prevent damage.
5. Before backfilling, test the hydrant. Turn on water supply to
check for leaks and proper operation of the hydrant. Raise
and lower the lever several times. It is normal for some
water to
drain from the vacuum breaker holes when operating the
hydrant, but no water should drain beneath ground level.
6. Fill the bottom 30" of the hole with gravel to prevent the
area around the inlet connection from settling.
7. Make sure the hydrant is plumb and fill the remainder of
the hole with earth to match grade. Remember to fill to
the level designated by the label adhered to PVC body.
A code stamped into the handle stem pivot nut
(right) corresponds to the length, month and
year the hydrant was manufactured.
OPERATION
Unlike many ground hydrants, this sanitary hydrant is designed so the potable water system cannot cross contaminate with
polluted ground water. When the valve is turned to the off position, water from the valve drains into the sanitary canister
below the frost line. When turning on the hydrant, water from the sanitary canister is forced out of the canister, back into
the flow path. No winterization is needed for this hydrant. During freezing temperatures, hose must be detached and
hydrant turned off.
1. The head is marked with "L" for Low Flow and "H" for High Flow. When the handle pin is aligned with the "L",
water begins to flow. Desired flow can be achieved by aligning the handle pin with the desired flow mark.
2. Close handle slightly to lessen flow or completely to stop flow, allowing water to drain and be stored below the frost
line. *Water stored inside the sanitary canister is the first to exit when re-opening the hydrant.
