A Common Cause of Frost-Free Yard Hydrant Failure - External Corrosion
Frost-free yard hydrants (also know as ground hydrants, hose bibs, or yard faucets) can fail for many reasons. One of the main reasons is external corrosion of the riser pipe. The photo below was sent to us by a recent customer in New York.
As you can see, the hydrant pipe is not long for this world, almost completely corroded through from the outside. The hydrant had only been installed for a couple of years, a testament to how corrosive some soils can be. Fortunately, the customer caught the problem before total failure.
Not wanting to dig up his yard again, the customer found the Yard Hydrant Made Easy™ to be exactly what he needed. As a great bonus, the YHME casing will keep the corrosive soil off his new hydrant, extending the life of the hydrant while ensuring that it can be replaced in the future WITHOUT DIGGING.
