The PPYH03 Frost-Proof Yard Hydrant is a robust, cold-weather outdoor faucet designed to deliver reliable water access year-round, even in freezing conditions. With a 3-foot bury depth, this hydrant is ideal for deeper installations in regions with harsh winters, ensuring the shut-off valve remains safely below the frost line.

Key Features & Benefits

• True Frost-Proof Design
  The shut-off valve is located below the frost line, allowing water to flow even in sub-zero temperatures. When the handle is closed, the hydrant self-drains, preventing freeze damage to the standpipe and internal components.

• Durable Construction
  Built with a 1-inch galvanized steel standpipe and a cast iron head, the PPYH03 is engineered for long-term durability and corrosion resistance. The brass clevis rod and hose connector add strength and reliability.

• Above-Ground Repairability
  All internal components—plunger, rod, seat, and linkage—are replaceable without excavation, making maintenance simple and cost-effective.

• Secure & Convenient
  Includes a locking eye for padlock installation to prevent unauthorized use. The extra-large handle ensures easy operation, even with gloves in cold weather.

• Lead-Free & Compliant
  Complies with federal low-lead regulations, making it safe for use in non-potable water systems and environmentally responsible.

• Double O-Ring Sealing System
  Provides a positive seal to prevent leaks and ensure consistent water flow.

• Adjustable Plunger
  Features a square head set screw for easy adjustment of water flow and shut-off pressure.
