A yard hydrant is a reliable method to bring access to water to remote locations. Before installing a yard hydrant, you should make sure that the water supply is below the frost line. In addition to this, there are some key factors that should be considered. Things to think about when choosing a yard hydrant include:
- Ease of operation
- Simple adjustments and repairs
- Flow optimization
- Locking cam
Ease of Operation
Yard hydrants are meant to make it easy to have water access where it is needed, even in freezing temperatures. Yard hydrants are often located on farms, ranches, construction sites, and other locations where operators may be wearing heavy gloves. A large handle on the hydrant allows for easier operation with gloves on, and the operating rod should open and close easily.
Simple Adjustments and Repairs
It is important to be able to make any adjustments and repairs above ground level as much of a yard hydrant is located underground. Having the ability to perform maintenance above the ground, such as replacing O-rings, is key. This saves a lot of time and work without needing to dig up the yard hydrant.
Flow Optimization
A yard hydrant provides convenient water access, although low pressure can be frustrating and time-consuming. High flow rates in your yard hydrant are important, although there may be instances where you want to control the flow.
Locking Cam
Being able to set the flow finder and lock in the same flow is beneficial as well as locking the hydrant against accidental opening. The ability to lock your hydrant can protect against vandalism.
