X34 Yard Hydrant 

 
 
 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

1.  Water leaks from the nozzle when the hydrant is off. 

 

Check the closing force of the handle. If the handle does not 
“snap” closed at the end of the closing stroke, s
ee 

Linkage 

Adjustment

 instructions. 

 

If the hydrant leaks just after installation, the valve seat may be 
fouled with debris, such as small rocks. The operating pipe 
assembly will have to be removed and the hydrant casing 
flushed. See 

Operating Rod Assembly Removal

 instructions. 

 

To inspect and/or replace the plunger if it is worn or damaged, 
see 

Operating Rod Assembly Removal

 instructions.

 

2.  Water leaks around the brass stem below the handle linkage when 

the hydrant is on. 

 

The packing nut will occasionally need to be tightened to stop a 
packing leak. Tighten the packing nut until snug and the leak 
stops. Persistent leaks will require a new packing #10101. See 

X34 Packing Replacement

 instructions.

 

3.  Water leaks from below ground level when the hydrant is on. 

 

A small leak may be the result of a leak at the drain hole. 
Replace the plunger if it is old and worn. See 

Operating Rod 

Assembly Removal

 instructions. 

 

A large leak may be the result of a hole in the pipe casing 
caused by electrolysis corrosion. Some soil conditions can cause 
premature failure of the pipe casing near the valve body. Brass 
pipe is recommended for these conditions. 

Contact the factory 

for details.

 

4.  Hydrant will not drain when shut off. 

 

Make sure there are no attachments on the nozzle, such as a 
hose or vacuum breaker.  

 

Improper linkage adjustment (not enough tension) may prevent 
the hydrant from draining properly. See 

Linkage Adjustment

 

instructions 

 

A poor drain field around the valve body or a blocked drain hole 
will prevent drainage. See
