Installation Guide

Dear Homeowner,
Your Plumbing Contractor has selected the finest outdoor faucet avail-
able for installation at your property. The patented design meets or
exceeds plumbing codes regarding anti-siphon and backflow preven-
tion, 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 af-
ter shutoff to prevent
freezing. After shutoff,
water will drain from be-
hind the packing nut for
a few moments, (Figure
A) this is normal and ac-
cording to design.
•Do not overtighten the hydrant! Turn off the valve until the stem stops
moving. Water will begin to drain from behind the handle as the valve
closes. Once the water in the hydrant is drained, the dripping will stop.
If you have any questions about the installation or operation of your PRIER
Wall Hydrant, you may call PRIER’s Customer Service Hotline at 800-362-
