Arrowhead Brass 469-08QTLF Frost Free Pex Hydrant 8 in

Product Description

The ARROWHEAD BRASS PLUMBING 469-08QTLF is an 8-inch frost-free PEX anti-siphon yard hydrant built from lead-free red brass. It is designed for outdoor water supply applications where freeze protection and backflow prevention are required. The integrated Arrow Breaker vacuum breaker delivers twice the flow of standard vacuum breakers while reducing operational noise. A one-piece bonnet with an O-ring seal keeps connections leak-free under normal service conditions. Licensed plumbers and irrigation contractors install this hydrant in residential and light commercial settings where PEX supply lines are used.

This hydrant suits outdoor faucet installations in residential yards, commercial landscapes, and agricultural settings where below-freezing temperatures are a seasonal concern. The 8-inch bury depth rating provides freeze protection in climates with moderate frost lines. The PEX-compatible inlet connection makes it a direct fit for modern PEX plumbing systems without additional adapters in most installations. The heavy-duty metal handle with stainless steel screws holds up to repeated use in outdoor environments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC requirements. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before beginning any work. The hydrant must be installed at the correct bury depth to ensure the drain port sits below the local frost line. Do not install in a location where the drain port may be submerged, as standing water will prevent proper drainage and negate freeze protection.
