Elkay LK4461YHLHBBLK Yard Hydrant Locking Hose Bib

Product Description

The ELKAY LK4461YHLHBBLK is an outdoor yard hydrant built for demanding exterior installations where durability, security, and reliable water access are required. This unit features a tamper-resistant locking hose bib that restricts unauthorized use without requiring water filtration or refrigeration systems. The body is constructed from Type 316 stainless steel with a powder-coat finish over an E-coat base layer, giving it layered corrosion resistance suited for exposure to weather, moisture, and environmental contaminants. Chrome-plated integral hood guards resist vandalism and block airborne deposits from reaching the water outlet. No electrical connection is required. Licensed plumbers and irrigation contractors handle typical installation.

This yard hydrant is designed for outdoor freestanding floor-mount installation in settings such as community parks, recreational facilities, athletic fields, school grounds, and private yards. It serves as a non-potable or utility water point where filtered or chilled water is not needed. The floor-mount design suits both concrete pad and in-ground installations common in municipal and commercial landscape projects. Its corrosion-resistant construction makes it a fit for coastal or high-moisture environments where standard carbon steel fixtures would degrade rapidly.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements. Shut off the water supply at the nearest isolation valve before beginning any connection work. Confirm the mounting surface and anchor method are rated for the unit weight prior to securing the base. Do not overtighten supply connections on stainless steel fittings; use appropriate thread sealant compatible with stainless steel and potable water systems.
