Common Questions

Is it freeze-proof, and will it drain itself?

No. Watts rates this one for moderate climates: the valve is close to the face rather than back inside the heated wall, and it does not self-drain. If the wall sees freezing temperatures, use a non-freeze model such as the HY-420 or HY-725 instead.

Does it have a built-in vacuum breaker (anti-siphon)?

Yes -- the vacuum breaker is integral, so you do not add anything at the hose outlet. It protects the potable supply against backsiphonage from a hose left in a bucket, a pool, or a chemical sprayer when the main loses pressure. It is designed to ASSE 1019.

Do I need a key to operate it?

Yes -- it is key operated, which is the tamper resistance you are buying: no handle sticks out for anyone to open. A loose key is supplied with the hydrant; order spares if the building has several, because losing the only key means no water.
