Frost Free Hydrants

Frost Free Hydrants
A slow dripping faucet outside can be easy to ignore, but please donāt!!! There is a very limited amount of maintenance that can be performed on frost free hydrants and when they are neglected, they suffer internal damage and are impossible to repair.
At Half Moon we say call on the first drop and if youāre a ādo it yourself,ā give us a call and weāll try to help you trouble shoot over the phone. When a hydrant canāt be repaired by replacing washers and o-rings, it must be replaced.
Proper installation is critical when it comes to wall hydrants. Frost free hydrants should be anchored, sleeved, and sloped. Most hydrants we see are not anchored (even in new homes) this could allow the hydrant to over rotate compromising the supporting piping.
If a hydrant is not sleeved (protected) through brick or rock, it could eventually wear a hole in the pipe.
Hydrants without proper slope will hold water and be subject to freezing and busting. At Half Moon, our āplumbing with purposeā replacement frost proof wall hydrants are all sleeved, sloped, and anchored.
Call Half Moon today before that drip turns into a disaster!
