It is a lead-free unit designed to deliver reliable water flow even when ground temperatures drop below freezing. When the handle is shut off, the hydrant drains below the frost line, preventing water from sitting in the standpipe and freezing. This makes it a practical choice for permanent installation in residential and light agricultural settings where seasonal shutoffs are not acceptable. Licensed plumbers and irrigation contractors are the typical installing trade for this type of outdoor plumbing fixture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe YH-5 is suited for residential yards, hobby farms, and rural properties that require dependable cold-weather water access at a fixed outdoor location. Common applications include livestock watering, garden irrigation supply, and general-purpose outdoor hose connections. The 5-foot burial depth accommodates frost lines in many northern climate zones, though local frost depth requirements should always be confirmed before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLead-free construction meets drinking water safety standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5-foot standpipe depth supports year-round operation in cold climates\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSelf-draining design empties standpipe below frost line when handle is closed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePackaged as a single unit ready for field installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation yard hydrant for residential and light agricultural outdoor plumbing systems requiring a 5-foot burial depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off the water supply line and depressurize the system before connecting or replacing the hydrant. Excavate to the full 5-foot depth to ensure the drain port sits below the local frost line, and provide a gravel drainage bed at the base to allow the self-drain port to function correctly. Do not cap or obstruct the drain port, as this will cause the standpipe to retain water and freeze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandpipe Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead-Free\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 22 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit of Measure\u003c\/strong\u003e: EA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASHLAND WATER GROUP\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: YH-5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASHLAND","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51525227479346,"sku":"YH-5","price":98.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/69cb290b59c76b8ebf64b5b1f0bdd712_7cbb3bbc-9ed4-44bb-abbe-afdfff4d32c0.jpg?v=1785467841","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/ashland-water-group-yh-5-yard-hydrant-5-foot","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
