1/2" x 6" Freezeless Wall Hydrant, Hose Bib x Copper

Professional-Grade Outdoor Hydration – Woodford 1/2" x 6" Freezeless Wall Hydrant with Anti-Siphon Protection

The Woodford 1/2" x 6" Freezeless Wall Hydrant is built for year-round outdoor water access, even in freezing conditions. Designed for installation in residential or light commercial exterior walls, this hydrant drains automatically when shut off and the hose is removed, reducing the risk of freeze damage and burst piping.

With a compact 6-inch length from valve seat to inlet, this model is ideal for thinner wall structures or shallow-depth installations. It includes a built-in vacuum breaker for backflow protection and features a corrosion-resistant, heavy-duty brass body that’s made to endure harsh environments and heavy use.
