Installation Guide
Operation
The handle (H) controls the plunger (P) valve at the bottom of the hydrant so that water
stays below the frost line until needed.
When the plunger (P) valve is closed, it opens a small drain hole. Water in the hydrant
drains into the gravel at the base of the hydrant. Since your hydrant no longer has any
water above the frost line, it cannot freeze.
1. Turn on the water supply.
2. Lift the handle to open the plunger valve until you reach the desired water ow.
When nished watering, lower the handle to close the plunger valve.
3. For added security, place a bolt or padlock into the holes (Q) at the end of the
handle to prevent water loss from vandals or from livestock accidentally moving
the handle.

8. If the hydrant does not shut off, repeat steps 1 through 7.
9. Flow water through the hydrant, then close completely to check for proper
drainage by:
a) Listening for water draining down the pipe or
b) Putting your hand over the spout (R) to feel for a vacuum. If the hydrant
does not drain, see step 10.

cap or by attaching and kinking a hose.
11. Lift and lower the handle (H) to allow water pressure to clear the blockage.
