Arrowhead Brass Plumbing 455-08LF Frost Free Hydrant Faucet

Product Description

The ARROWHEAD BRASS PLUMBING 455-08LF is a frost-free yard hydrant faucet built for reliable outdoor water access in residential and light commercial applications. Constructed from red brass, this hydrant faucet meets lead-free standards, making it suitable for potable water systems. The 8-inch bury depth moves the shutoff point below the frost line, draining residual water from the barrel after each use to prevent freeze damage. Connection options include a 1/2-inch female iron pipe (FIP) or a 3/4-inch male iron pipe (MIP) inlet, giving installers flexibility when tying into existing supply lines.

This frost-free hydrant faucet is designed for outdoor installation in residential yards, agricultural settings, and light commercial properties where a dependable, freeze-protected water source is needed. It is particularly suited for climates where ground temperatures drop below freezing seasonally. The lead-free red brass construction meets safe drinking water requirements, making it appropriate for potable water supply connections. Licensed plumbers and irrigation contractors typically install this type of hydrant during new construction or as a direct replacement for failed yard hydrants.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the supply line and relieve pressure before beginning work. The hydrant must be set at the correct bury depth so the drain point sits below the local frost line; verify the required frost depth with local code requirements before trenching. Do not use thread sealant or pipe dope incompatible with brass fittings.
