What You Need to Know about Yard Hydrants

January 27, 2023 by Buy Eagle in Eagle Mountain

A yard hydrant is sometimes called a water pump or outdoor hydrant, and they can be frost or freezeless. A hydrant is basically plumbing equipment that accesses water underground to meet water needs in remote places. When the hydrant is shut off, water drains into the ground to prevent freezing. 

Where Do You Use a Yard Hydrant?

Yard hydrants are the best way to get water to remote or semi-remote locations. Yard hydrants are mostly found on ranches, campgrounds, farms, parks, golf courses, school campuses, construction sites, lawn and garden care nurseries, and other rural locations. Any remote location that has irrigation needs where connecting a garden hose or lugging buckets of water is not an option is a great candidate for a yard hydrant.

What Are All The Yard Hydrant Components?

A yard hydrant typically contains three main aspects, the head, the valve, and the standpipe. The standpipe is the vertical pipe that goes into the ground, and the height can vary in different models, although they are typically a few feet high. On top of the standpipe is the hydrant head, which has an outlet for the water. Some of these outlets are threaded to allow connection of a garden hose. If this is important to you, it is a feature you should look for. The valve is inside the standpipe and sits below the frost line to access water that will not freeze in the winter.

You will need to consider the conditions where you live and make sure the hydrant is installed below the frost line. Be sure to go with quality products and materials and avoid cheap, plastic parts. It’s no fun to dig up a hydrant out of frozen mud in the middle of winter.  One of the best yard hydrants on the market is the Woodford Model Y34 IOWA® yard hydrant. 

The Y34 IOWA® yard hydrant by Woodford provides immediate water flow even in subzero conditions. You can get the Woodford hydrant, outdoor faucets, and wall hydrants from BuyEagle.com, your one-stop for the full Woodford product line.
