Prier c-144x08 Freezeless Wall Hydrant 1/2 in Pex 8 in

Product Description

The PRIER c-144x08 is a freezeless residential wall hydrant designed for exterior water supply in climates subject to freezing temperatures. Built from brass construction, the hydrant delivers reliable long-term performance in outdoor service conditions. It accepts 1/2 inch PEX tubing via a crimp connection and features an 8 inch insertion depth, allowing the internal valve seat to sit inside the heated envelope of the structure. A powder-coated cast aluminum handle provides a secure grip and full 360-degree turn operation. This hydrant is installed by licensed plumbers as part of residential exterior rough-in work.

The c-144x08 is suited for residential applications where a freeze-protected outdoor hose bib or utility water source is required. The 8 inch insertion depth makes it appropriate for standard wood-frame wall assemblies where insulation and sheathing thickness call for extended reach to keep the valve inside the conditioned space. The crimp PEX inlet simplifies connection to PEX distribution systems without the need for soldering. An integrated anti-siphon vacuum breaker and backflow check valve meet code requirements for potable water protection at hose connection points.

Key Features

• Brass body construction for corrosion resistance and long service life
• Freezeless design keeps valve seat inside heated wall cavity to prevent freeze damage
• 1/2 inch crimp PEX inlet for direct connection to PEX supply lines
• 8 inch insertion depth for standard residential wall assemblies
• Built-in anti-siphon vacuum breaker and backflow check valve for potable water code compliance
• Powder-coated cast aluminum handle with full 360-degree turn operation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation wall hydrant for residential exterior plumbing systems using 1/2 inch PEX crimp supply lines.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before making connections. The hydrant must be pitched slightly downward toward the exterior to allow the barrel to drain fully after each use, which is essential to freezeless operation. Verify local plumbing code requirements regarding backflow prevention device inspection and wall penetration sealing before completing the rough-in.
