1. It is most important to Flush supply lines before installing
hydrant. Failure to do so may permanently damage sealing surface
causing leaks and possible freeze-ups.
2. Install hydrant so that the Adapter or Bushing is above grade for
servicing. Figure 1.
3. Attach hydrant to supply lines using Teflon Tape or an approved
thread sealant for PVC.
4. Do not over tighten PVC portion of hydrant to supply lines as it
will damage hydrant.
Installation
1. No winterization is required to prevent hydrant from freezing.
2. Lift up on lever to turn on, push down on lever to turn off.
3. As hydrant is turned on some water will come out port holes
in vacuum breaker, this is normal.
4. When the hydrant is shut off it will drain to the reservoir to
prevent freezing, even if a hose with pistol grip nozzle is attached.
However, the hose will not drain.
5. DO NOT remove, discard, or bypass Backflow Preventer as
Hydrant will not function properly.
Operation
See Maintence: “Field Testing the Backflow Preventer” for further
