. PREPARE WALL
Determine the location for the hydrant. The
hydrant’s inlet must be installed into a heated area
of the structure that will not drop below freezing.
Before installation, make sure there is adequate work
room for securing the hydrant to the supply line.
Prepare the mounting surface and entry hole.

House Hydrants require a vertical and
smooth mounting surface to ensure proper
installation and draining. Depending on the exterior
wall surface, a mounting block may be required
to provide a vertical and smooth mounting spot.
Mounting blocks can be commonly
found in hardware stores,
or can be made on-site
with materials such as
wood, fiber-cement, or
PVC trim board. Aquor
®
mounting blocks can
be found on our website.

INSTALLATION
. SECURE HYDRANT TO WALL
Pre-pilot the mounting holes. Make sure to insert the
debris cover wedge behind the hydrant faceplate for
accurate markings.
Using a 1 /” hole saw, bore the entry hole through
the wall (and mounting block if using one) in the
desired location. Ensure the entry hole is vertically
level.
Tip: If enlarging an existing hole, try
cutting a dowel of the appropriate size
to use as a guide for the hole saw.
Tip: Use a low speed setting or a hand screwdriver
to avoid stripping the fasteners.
If drilling through a deep wall, you may
need to accommodate for the hydrant’s
downward angle.
A. Drill one 1 /”
(39 mm) hole.
B. Drill another
1 /” (39 mm)
hole below it,
1 /” (39 mm)
vertically on center.
C. Remove the
remaining material
to get the right
size for the hydrant.
