Appleton 10802 Freeze Free Connection Kit

Product Description

The APPLETON 10802 is a freeze-free connection kit designed for outdoor faucet and hose bib installations where protection against freezing conditions is required. This kit provides the hardware and fittings needed to complete a proper freeze-free hydrant or sillcock connection, keeping the valve seat inside the heated building envelope so standing water cannot freeze in the supply line. It is typically installed by licensed plumbers during new construction or retrofit projects in cold-climate regions.

The 10802 kit suits residential and light commercial plumbing applications where outdoor water access must remain serviceable year-round. It is appropriate for installations on exterior walls where the interior pipe run is long enough to position the valve mechanism in conditioned space, preventing freeze damage during winter months.

Key Features

• Freeze-free design keeps valve seat inside the heated building envelope
• Complete connection kit includes required hardware for a finished installation
• Suited for cold-climate residential and light commercial plumbing
• Supports retrofit and new construction applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style connection kit for use with freeze-free outdoor hydrant and sillcock assemblies in residential and light commercial plumbing systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing code and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before beginning any connection work. Ensure the freeze-free hydrant is pitched slightly toward the exterior so residual water drains away from the valve seat after each use. Do not cap or restrict the drain port of a freeze-free hydrant, as this defeats its freeze-protection function.
