hydrants leave the factory fully tested and
operational. They are treated with an FDA approved
lubricant where needed. The hydrant requires no
scheduled maintenance to provide a long operational
life. If a problem does arise, all the serviceable
components are oered in repair kits.
It’s best to disconnect the hydrant when not in use.
The hydrant can only oer freeze protection when
disconnected. We recommend unplugging after each
use.
For freeze protection, the hydrant does not need
to be covered any further. As long as it has been
disconnected, allowed to drain, and the ambient
temperature inside the wall remains above freezing,
the hydrant and the plumbing will be protected.
Storing your hose connectors out of the elements can
prolong their lifespan. You can drain your hose and
bring it inside - the internal check valve prevents any
unwanted draining afterwards, so your floor stays
dry.
Protect the hose connector’s O-rings. They are
designed for extremely long lifespans if used
properly. Use care not to snag the connector O-rings
on the hydrant nibs. When connecting, line up the
grooves before attempting to push or twist.
Maintenance
MAINTENANCE
Routine cleaning with soap and water is usually
sucient to maintain the corrosion resistance and
appearance of the marine-grade stainless steel. Use
a soft brush to remove any accumulated dirt, then
rinse with clean water. Use stainless steel polish as
needed.
If you have hard water buildup, the hydrant can be
completely disassembled for service or cleaning
if needed. The inner valve and stem are accessed
through the rear.
We recommend replacing the internal valve once
every 20 years, or as needed. You may periodically
clean and lubricate the O-ring if there is mineral
buildup.
