FODACEL 3.25FT Frost-Proof Yard Hydrant — 3/4" FNPT Heavy-Duty Cast Iron Head, Galvanized Riser

FODACEL's 3.25FT Frost Proof Yard Hydrant is a heavy-duty, frost-free outdoor water hydrant designed to stay drainable and operational in cold climates when installed to the correct frost depth.

Built for year-round exterior water access, this 3.25-foot (44.5-inch) bury hydrant combines a cast-iron head, galvanized steel riser, and thickened brass fittings to resist rust and reduce maintenance. The hydrant's foot valve and drain geometry clear water below the frost line so above-ground portions don't freeze, making it suitable for irrigation, vehicle washing, livestock water, and other outdoor needs when installed per local frost-line requirements.

How does this hydrant prevent freezing in winter?

The hydrant's operating valve and drainage are positioned below the frost line so residual water drains out of the above-ground section when closed. That design prevents trapped water from freezing in the exposed parts.

• 3.25 ft total length with 12 in bury depth for recommended installation.
• Drain hole placed to clear water below local frost line.
• Foot valve assembly lets the riser drain when turned off.

What materials and durability features does it offer?

This hydrant uses a molded heavy-duty cast iron head, galvanized high-strength riser pipe, and thickened, high-purity brass connectors for corrosion resistance and longevity. The combination reduces leaks and resists outdoor wear for extended service life.

• Cast iron head for impact and wear resistance.
• Galvanized pipe to limit corrosion along the buried riser.
• Lead-free brass foot valve certified to NSF/ANSI 372-2016 standards.

How simple is installation and what should I plan for?

Installation is straightforward with the included instructions; the hydrant connects to a standard 3/4" FNPT adapter for common garden hoses and fittings. To work correctly, the installer must bury the drain hole below the site's frost line and set the brass valve depth accordingly.

• Includes detailed installation guide for fast setup.
• 3/4" FNPT adapter fits standard hose couplings and connectors.
• Recommended above-ground height about 2.25 ft for easy access.

What can I use this yard hydrant for around my property?

The frost-proof hydrant is versatile: it supplies water for lawn and garden irrigation, vehicle and equipment cleaning, outdoor appliances like barbecues, and livestock watering. Flow is controlled by the handle, making it easy to adjust output for different tasks.

• Irrigation, lawn care, and garden watering.
• Car washing, patio and equipment cleaning.
• Ranches, farms, parks, and camping sites where frost protection is needed.

Who is this for: Homeowners, farmers, property managers, and installers who need a dependable outdoor water source that resists freezing when set to the correct depth. If you need a durable, lead-free frost-proof hydrant that connects to standard hose fittings and reduces winter maintenance, the FODACEL 3.25FT Frost Proof Yard Hydrant is designed to meet those needs when installed following local frost-depth guidelines.
