Ashland Water Group YH1 Yard Hydrant 1 Foot

Product Description

The ASHLAND WATER GROUP YH1 is a 1-foot bury-depth yard hydrant engineered to deliver reliable outdoor water access throughout the year, including in sub-freezing conditions. When the handle is closed, the valve drains below the frost line, preventing standing water from freezing inside the standpipe. The YH1 is lead free, making it suitable for applications where potable water supply standards apply. At 13 pounds, it is a full-size cast unit intended for permanent in-ground installation by a licensed plumber or experienced tradesperson.

This yard hydrant is designed for residential and light commercial outdoor water supply applications. Typical installations include irrigation service points, livestock watering stations, garden supply lines, and general-purpose exterior hose bibs where a buried frost-proof design is required. The 1-foot bury depth is suited for sites with minimal frost penetration or installations inside conditioned spaces such as heated barns or outbuildings. Confirm local frost depth requirements before selecting bury depth.

Key Features

• Frost-proof design drains standpipe automatically when handle is closed to prevent freeze damage
• Lead free construction meets potable water safety requirements
• 1-foot bury depth for shallow frost-line or semi-protected installation sites
• Permanent in-ground installation provides year-round outdoor water access

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install yard hydrant for residential and light commercial in-ground outdoor water supply systems requiring a 1-foot bury depth.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the supply line and relieve system pressure before beginning installation. Ensure the drain port at the base of the hydrant is surrounded by a gravel drainage bed to allow the automatic drain to function properly. Do not bury the drain port in clay or compacted soil, as blocked drainage will cause freeze damage.
