Arrowhead Brass 469-06QTLF Frost Free Pex Hydrant 6 in

Product Description

The ARROWHEAD BRASS PLUMBING 469-06QTLF is a 6-inch frost-free PEX anti-siphon yard hydrant built from lead-free red brass for potable water applications. It features an integrated Arrow Breaker vacuum breaker that delivers twice the flow rate of standard vacuum breakers while producing less operating noise. The one-piece bonnet with O-ring seal provides a leak-free connection, and stainless steel screws secure the heavy-duty metal handle. Licensed plumbers install this hydrant in residential and light commercial settings where freeze protection and backflow prevention are required by code.

This hydrant is suited for outdoor water supply points in climates where freezing temperatures are a concern. The frost-free design drains the supply line when the handle is shut off, protecting the internal components from freeze damage. The integrated vacuum breaker prevents backflow into the potable supply, meeting anti-siphon requirements under plumbing codes. PEX inlet connection makes it compatible with flexible PEX supply lines, which are common in newer residential construction and retrofit installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC backflow prevention requirements. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before beginning installation. Ensure the hydrant is pitched correctly so the drain port can function as intended for frost-free operation. Do not install in a location where the drain port may be submerged, as this will defeat the freeze protection and vacuum breaker function.
