Simmons Manufacturing

The Frost Proof Yard Hydrant provides running water for lawn and garden, livestock and fire protection all year, even in sub-zero temperatures. The shut-off valve operates below the frost line. Hydrant cannot freeze because when it is closed, all water in the standpipe drains out a hole in the valve which is set in the ground below the frost line. Hydrant spout operates at a convenient height (24 inches) from the ground level so that it can spill into a stock tank. Adapter (No. 8828) is threaded for 3/4" hose. Hydrant can be easily installed anywhere water is supplied under pressure.

To prevent unauthorized use, handle can be padlocked by inserting padlock into holes provided in handle and head.

Special Instructions.

The Brass Packing Nut located on the head of the Simmons Frost-Proof Hydrant has been factory adjusted. If leakage should occur upon installation or after usage, you may find it necessary to slightly tighten the Brass Packing Nut. "CAUTION": Do not overtighten Brass Packing Nut. Damage will occur to inner O rings. Do not leave hose attached in freezing temperatures as it may prevent proper drainage of the shut-off valve.

If Hydrant will not shut off completely, the plunger in the bottom of the hydrant can be lowered by raising the point of contact of the square head set screw on the brass rod.
