1/2" x 6" Freezeless Wall Hydrant, MPT x SWT

PRIER C-134 Freezeless Wall Hydrant – 1/2" MPT x SWT, 6" Insertion Length

The PRIER C-134 Series Freezeless Wall Hydrant is engineered to provide reliable exterior water access in cold climates. Designed for year-round operation, this hydrant connects to interior heated supply lines, preventing freeze-related failures by allowing the supply line to drain when the valve is closed. Its heavy-duty construction, integral vacuum breaker, and serviceable components make it a go-to choice for professional installations in residential and light commercial settings.

Product Highlights

• True Freezeless Operation – The valve stem seats inside the heated space, eliminating the risk of freezing even in sub-zero conditions.
• Forged Brass Body – Built for durability and corrosion resistance; compatible with copper and threaded piping systems.
• Multi-Turn Operation – Full 360° handle turn allows controlled water flow with minimal wear on internal components.
• Integrated Vacuum Breaker – ASSE 1019 certified backflow protection to prevent contamination of the potable supply.
• Drainage Pitch – Built-in slope ensures residual water exits the hydrant body after shutoff, preventing internal freezing.
• Lock Shield Cap – Provides added security in exposed installations and public-facing applications.

Installation Considerations

The hydrant must be installed with a slight downward pitch toward the outlet to ensure proper drainage after shutoff. It should be connected to supply piping located within a conditioned space. Soldering or threading connections should be performed per code, with care taken to avoid overheating internal components. A secured flange mount is recommended for stability and alignment.
