Remove backow preventer at quick disconnect (Figure 2)
Operate hydrant at partial ow with thumb over outlet until the
water pressure forces past thumb. (Figure 3).
At this point shut o hydrant.
[ With hydrant full of water it is easier to detect if hydrant is leaking. Hydrant
should not drip from outlet once hydrant is full of water. ]
If hydrant leaks from outlet, remove operating rod and replace o-ring on stopper tip. (Figure 4)

5.)
No ground preparation is required for the Freeze Flow Sanitary Yard Hydrant; therefore
it can be placed in any soil condition. Hydrant canister is stainless steel and pipes are
all galvanized steel, which meet ASTM specs.
4.)
Attach hydrant to existing supply line using an approved thread sealant.
3.) Flush supply lines BEFORE installing hydrant.
It is still the responsibility of the installer to know his/her soil condition and to ensure that
proper corrosion protection is administered to the hydrant. The application of paint or
rubber tape may be needed to protect against some soil conditions.
BEFORE back lling with soil, perform a Shut O Valve Leak Check to make sure shut
o valve does not leak due to debris in supply line or damaged o-ring. A leaking seat
can cause hydrant to ll with water and possibly freeze.
INSTALLATION
Freeze Flow hydrants are designed for heavy-duty commercial use where safe potable
water is needed. This hydrant drains into the canister below the frost line to prevent
freeze ups and cross contamination with the soil bacteria

To prevent freezing during the
winter months, it is essential
that the hydrant reservoir be
evacuated to ensure proper
drainage of the standpipe.
Any restriction downstream of
the factory supplied hose bib
will prevent the hydrant
reservoir from emptying.
Therefore, for winter use,
remove the hose and back-
ow preventer, if used, using
the quick disconnect supplied.
Empty the reservoir by oper-
ating the hydrant at full ow
for 30 seconds to prevent
hydrant freeze-ups.
During this time you should
notice the water ow is solid
and then becomes aerated.
Reservoir is empty when water
exiting outlet is aerated.
Shutting o hydrant at
this point will permit the
water in the standpipe to
drain back into the empty
reservoir.
