Arrowhead Brass 466-08QTLF Copper Sweat Hydrant 8 Inch

Product Description

The ARROWHEAD BRASS PLUMBING 466-08QTLF is a lead-free red brass wall hydrant designed for residential and light commercial outdoor water supply applications. It accepts a 1/2-inch sweat or 1/2-inch male iron pipe inlet and terminates at a 3/4-inch hose outlet, with an 8-inch bury depth. The unit features an integrated vacuum breaker that delivers twice the flow of standard vacuum breakers while operating at reduced noise levels. A heavy-duty metal handle secured with stainless steel screws and a one-piece bonnet with O-ring seal round out the design. Licensed plumbers install this type of fixture as part of code-compliant outdoor water service roughins.

This hydrant is suited for exterior wall-mount installations where a freeze-resistant or standard sillcock-style fixture is needed at residential homes, light commercial buildings, or irrigation supply points. The 8-inch body length accommodates typical exterior wall framing with insulation. The 3/4-inch hose-thread outlet accepts standard garden hose fittings, making it a common choice for hose bibs, irrigation hookups, and general outdoor water access. The lead-free red brass construction meets drinking water compliance requirements where applicable.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC requirements. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before soldering or threading the inlet connection. When using the sweat-connect option, avoid overheating the valve body during soldering to prevent damage to internal components including the vacuum breaker. Support the hydrant body properly within the wall framing before securing the escutcheon or trim plate.
