hydrants leave the factory fully tested
and operational. They are treated with an FDA
approved lubricant where needed. The hydrant
requires no scheduled maintenance to provide a
long operational life. If a problem does arise, all the
serviceable components are oered in repair kits
(see page 15).
It’s best to disconnect the hydrant when not in use.
The hydrant can only oer freeze protection when
disconnected. We recommend unplugging after
each use.
For freeze protection, the hydrant does not need
to be covered any further. As long as it has been
disconnected, allowed to drain, and the ambient
temperature inside the wall remains above freezing,
the hydrant and the plumbing will be protected.
Storing your hose connectors out of the elements
can prolong their lifespan. You can drain your
hose and bring it inside - the internal check valve
prevents any unwanted draining afterwards, so your
floor stays dry.
Protect the hose connector’s O-rings. They are
designed for extremely long lifespans if used
properly. Use care not to snag the connector
O-rings on the hydrant nibs. When connecting, line
up the grooves before attempting to push or twist.
Maintenance
MAINTENANCE
Routine cleaning with soap and water is usually
sucient to maintain the corrosion resistance and
appearance of the marine-grade stainless steel. Use
a soft brush to remove any accumulated dirt, then
rinse with clean water. Use stainless steel polish as
needed.
If you have hard water buildup, the hydrant can be
completely disassembled for service or cleaning
if needed. The inner valve and stem are accessed
through the rear.
We recommend replacing the internal valve once
every 20 years, or as needed. You may periodically
clean and lubricate the O-ring if there is mineral
buildup.
