Ashland Water Group YH-2 Yard Hydrant 2 Foot Lead Free

Product Description

The ASHLAND WATER GROUP YH-2 is a 2-foot yard hydrant engineered to deliver reliable water access year-round, including in subfreezing conditions. Yard hydrants of this type use a below-grade shutoff mechanism that drains the standpipe after each use, preventing freeze damage in cold climates. The YH-2 is lead free, making it suitable for potable water applications where code compliance is required. At 15 pounds, it is a robust unit built for long-term outdoor installation in residential and light commercial settings. Licensed plumbers and irrigation contractors are the typical installers for this type of product.

The YH-2 is designed for outdoor ground-level water distribution in applications where a frost-proof water supply is needed. Common install scenarios include livestock watering, garden irrigation, remote wash-down stations, and any site requiring a permanent outdoor water point in regions that experience hard freezes. The 2-foot bury depth is suited to areas with a shallow frost line. Confirm local frost depth requirements before selecting bury depth for your region.

Key Features

• 2-foot standpipe depth for shallow frost-line installations
• Freeze-resistant design drains standpipe after each use to prevent ice damage
• Lead free construction meets potable water compliance requirements
• Sold as a single unit (quantity 1 per package)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation yard hydrant for residential and light commercial outdoor plumbing systems requiring frost-proof water supply at a 2-foot bury depth.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off the water supply at the main or zone valve before beginning any work. Excavate to the required bury depth and ensure the gravel drainage bed at the base of the standpipe is properly established so the drain port functions correctly after each use. Do not cap or block the drain port, as doing so will defeat the freeze-protection function of the hydrant.
