Arrowhead Brass 466-06QTLF Copper Sweat Hydrant Lead Free

Product Description

The ARROWHEAD BRASS PLUMBING 466-06QTLF is a lead-free red brass wall hydrant designed for copper sweat installation in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. It features an integrated Arrow Breaker vacuum breaker that delivers twice the flow rate of standard vacuum breaker designs while reducing operating noise. The one-piece bonnet uses an O-ring seal for a leak-resistant connection, and the handle is a heavy-duty metal type fastened with stainless steel screws. This hydrant is installed by licensed plumbers where a reliable, code-compliant outdoor or utility water supply point is required.

The 466-06QTLF is suited for outdoor hose bibb applications in residential construction and light commercial settings where lead-free fittings are required by code. The 0.5-inch inlet sweat-connects directly to copper supply lines, and the 0.75-inch outlet accommodates standard hose connections. The integrated vacuum breaker provides backflow protection at the point of use, making this hydrant appropriate for installations subject to local plumbing codes requiring atmospheric vacuum breaker protection on hose connection outlets.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the applicable International Plumbing Code (IPC) and local amendments. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before soldering the sweat connection. Allow the fitting to cool fully before pressurizing to avoid damaging the O-ring seal and internal components. Verify local code requirements for vacuum breaker height above flood level rim before setting final mounting position.
