Ashland Water Group YH-3 Yard Hydrant 3 Foot

Product Description

The ASHLAND WATER GROUP YH-3 is a 3-foot yard hydrant built for year-round outdoor water supply in cold-climate applications. It is engineered to deliver running water even in freezing conditions, making it a reliable choice for agricultural, residential, and light commercial properties. The lead-free construction meets safe-drinking-water requirements. Weighing 17 pounds, this hydrant is a solid, standalone unit designed for direct burial installation by plumbers and irrigation professionals who need a dependable below-frost water access point.

This yard hydrant is suited for outdoor installations where a below-grade shutoff is required to prevent freeze-up during winter months. Typical applications include livestock watering, garden irrigation, and general utility water access on residential or rural properties. The 3-foot bury depth makes it appropriate for regions where frost lines fall within that range. A licensed plumber or experienced irrigation contractor handles the installation, connecting the hydrant to an existing pressurized water supply line underground.

Key Features

• 3-foot bury depth for freeze protection in cold climates
• Lead-free construction for safe potable water delivery
• Year-round operation design with below-grade drain-back function
• Solid build at 17 pounds for durable field performance
• Single-unit packaging suitable for individual replacement or new installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation yard hydrant for residential, agricultural, and light commercial outdoor water supply systems requiring a 3-foot burial depth.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before making any connections. The hydrant must be set at the correct burial depth to ensure the internal drain-back mechanism functions properly and prevents freeze damage. Do not cap the drain port or embed the base in concrete, as this will prevent drainage and cause freezing.
