Prier Products C-144W10 Freezeless Wall Hydrant 10 Inch

Product Description

The PRIER PRODUCTS C-144W10 is a 10-inch anti-siphon freezeless wall hydrant designed for residential plumbing applications where exterior water access must be protected against backflow and freeze damage. The unit connects to supply piping inside the heated envelope of the structure, keeping standing water out of the exposed portion of the hydrant body and eliminating the risk of freeze rupture. It ships with a 1/2-inch WIRSBO PEX adapter for direct connection to PEX supply lines. Licensed plumbers and experienced service professionals are the typical installers for this type of fitting.

The C-144W10 is suited for residential exterior wall installations where PEX supply piping is run inside conditioned space. The 10-inch depth accommodates standard wall thicknesses and insulation depths common in residential construction. The integrated anti-siphon valve provides backflow protection by preventing contaminated outdoor water from being drawn back into the potable supply line, a requirement in most municipal plumbing codes. This hydrant is appropriate for garden hose bibs, irrigation supply points, and other low-pressure exterior water outlets.

Key Features

• 10-inch freeze-protected depth keeps water column inside the heated building envelope
• Integrated anti-siphon design provides backflow protection for potable water systems
• Includes 1/2-inch WIRSBO PEX adapter for direct PEX supply connection
• Heavy-duty construction rated for residential exterior wall service
• Designed to eliminate freeze rupture risk without requiring seasonal draining

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation hydrant for residential exterior walls with 1/2-inch PEX supply piping routed through the conditioned portion of the structure.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the supply water and depressurize the line before cutting into existing piping. The hydrant body must penetrate the exterior wall so that the valve seat sits inside the heated space; incorrect placement defeats the freeze-protection design. Do not substitute the included PEX adapter with fittings rated for lower pressure classes without verifying local code compliance.
