Installation Guide

How to Install
1 Bore a 1-1/8" hole through the foundation
wall or the floor joist band to insert the
wall faucet from the outside.
2 Position the wall faucet so that the outside
spout is pointed down. To check spout
position from inside the building, notice that
when the mark (top/dot) on the connector
tip (inlet) points up, the outside spout is
down (see figure 1).
3 Slip the bevel plastic between flange
wall faucet and the upper side of wall by
inserting the thin part first (see figure 1)
Draining is necessary for frost proof
performance.
4 Make certain the tube on the wall faucet
has a slight downward pitch for proper
drainage.
5 If the inside connection (inlet) is to be
sweated (soldered), remove stem before
soldering connection while heating.
WARNING: Damage to the wall faucet
from freezing water - not properly
drained - voids warranty.
6 Secure wall faucet flange with two #8 or
#10 woods screws or with appropriate
masonry hardware.
Make certain that the wall faucet connector tip
(inlet) size matches existing water supply lines,
and that through-the-wall length is adequate:
available tips are indicated above.
IMPORTANT - TO ASSURE DRAINAGE
Turn wall faucet handle to closed position and
detach hose from spout during freezing
weather. If hose is left attached, the frost proof
wall faucet can not drain properly and trapped
water may freeze and damage wall faucet.
The frost proof wall faucet assures no-freeze
operation because the valve mechanism shuts
off water inside the building, where it is heated.
If building will be unheated for any length of
time, then all water lines should be drained and
plumbing fixtures winterized.
