Hydrant Tips:
Never leave a hose attached to hydrant after use. This will
prevent the hydrant from draining properly and will cause the
hydrant to freeze in cold weather. Leaving the hose attached
could also siphon contaminants back into the water system.
If the hydrant is to be installed inside a barn or other structure,
or if it is installed in asphalt or concrete such as a driveway,
connect a 1/8" drain pipe or tube to the drain port and dig a
remote drain field outside the structure for the drain pipe to
empty into. Without this remote piping and drain field, the water
from the hydrant drainage will percolate up to the surface
around or near the hydrant and will damage the flooring or
cause muddy areas in stalls or walkways.
Water pressure to the hydrant should be regulated no more than
80 psi. Higher pressures will accelerate wear and may cause
leakage that will saturate the ground and drain field and prevent
the hydrant from draining. If the hydrant is not allowed to drain,
it can freeze and cause damage to itself and cause flooding and
loss of water. High pressure will also cause you to have to
replace parts and adjust the hydrant frequently. A normal
operating pressure should be 20 to 60 psi.
Saturated ground in the hydrant drain field can prevent the
hydrant from draining and may result in freezing. If the area
where your hydrant is located is low lying or has a tendency to
have standing water, a larger drain field or pit may be required
to provide proper drainage.
