Frost-Proof Design
Arrowhead's frost-proof wall hydrants prevent freezing by draining water past the frost line, protecting your outdoor plumbing even in the coldest conditions.

Easy-to-Repair
Designed with serviceable components so you can replace stems, seats, and washers without removing the entire unit from the wall, saving time and money.

Understanding Frost-Proof Wall Hydrants
How Frost-Proof Hydrants Work
Shut-Off Inside the Wall: The valve seat is located inside the heated space, so water drains out past the frost line when shut off.
Automatic Drain: When the handle is turned off, remaining water in the pipe drains through a weep hole, preventing freeze damage.
Proper Pitch: The hydrant must slope slightly downward toward the exterior for drainage to work correctly.
Choosing the Right Length
Measure Wall Thickness: Arrowhead hydrants come in lengths from 4" to 36" to accommodate different wall depths.
Add 4 Inches: The stem should extend at least 4 inches past the interior wall for proper valve seating.
Florida Installations: Even in Southwest Florida, frost-proof hydrants protect against occasional cold snaps and provide superior durability.
