How does the Wall Hydrant Made Easy™ differ from other “hydrant sleeves” or “wall mounting brackets” on the market?

The Wall Hydrant Made Easy™ is not merely a “hydrant sleeve” or a “wall mounting bracket” like those available from other companies. The Wall Hydrant Made Easy™ is a unique, patented product.

Other “sleeves” and “wall mounting brackets” are merely spacers that are set into NEW CONSTRUCTION masonry walls (not for replacement work) so that the plumber does not have to drill into the masonry when screwing the frost-free wall hydrant (a.k.a. sillcock, wall faucet, hose bibb, spigot, etc.) to the wall. These devices DO NOT seal in the hydrant, so if the hydrant freezes and ruptures, the home is subject to flooding and water damage, which according to HomeAdvisor, can cost anywhere from $1200 to $4500.

AND, these devices DO NOT allow you to replace the hydrant from outside the house. You still have to go under the house or tear into an interior wall or basement ceiling in order to replace the hydrant. According to the same article from HomeAdvisor, this can cost $300 on an easy job. (If drywall has to be removed or the hydrant is difficult to replace, then the cost can go up dramatically.)

The Wall Hydrant Made Easy™, however, may be used in both new construction and replacement jobs.

The Wall Hydrant Made Easy™ DOES seal in the hydrant so that if it ruptures, no water will get inside your home. Feel free to finish your basement ceiling without fear of a leaking wall hydrant.

And finally, the crux of the Wall Hydrant Made Easy™ is that you can easily replace a failed hydrant in minutes FROM OUTSIDE THE BUILDING, so you don’t have to go under the house or tear into a wall. All you need is your new hydrant, a screwdriver, and some thread sealant.
