It pairs corrosion-resistant 316L stainless internals with crush-proof polymer components to give professional-grade durability without lead. The V2+ version adds a built-in ASSE-compliant vacuum breaker so backflow protection is included right at the faceplate—handy for new builds and code-conscious retrofits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the V2+ prevent freezing and winter damage?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hydrant uses an internal stem and drain design so water retreats into the heated wall cavity when the valve is closed, eliminating standing water in the exposed spout.
