Troubleshooting
No water flow when connected
Try depressing the hydrant stem with your thumb or
other blunt object to test for pressure against the
stem. If you are still experiencing an issue with the
stem moving backward, the issue is likely pressure
caused by a check valve or shut o valve located in
the waterline behind the hydrant. If the water is live,
the issue is likely the hose connector. (see below)
Inspect the hose connector. In variable weather
conditions, if left pressurized outside, water
expansion may cause the check valve to seize.
If the hose connector has a ball-valve, make sure
it is on.
Water leak from plumbing connection
For threaded fittings, re-wrap with 4-5 wraps
of teflon tape, followed by a layer of pipe-joint
compound. Firmly tighten with wrenches.
For PEX fittings, ensure a compatible PEX tubing
type and installation tool are being used. Check
fitting dimensions for spec.
Water leak from hydrant body-to-inlet
connection
Inspect the main valve O-ring. Ensure no teflon tape
or sealant is applied. Inlet should thread smoothly.
Water leak from hydrant front, disconnected
A slow leak may indicate a stuck or bent internal
rod, or damaged O-ring.
First, try to reset the valve from the front. Shut-o
water supply and use needle nose pliers to press
in and rotate the internal operating rod. Resistance
could indicate a piece of debris behind the valve.
If leak persists, remove the internal operating rod
from the hydrant by unscrewing the rear inlet from
the body. Inspect the O-ring and stem for any
damage, remove debris or replace assembly
if needed.
