No more digging up hydrants!

Save major time and money on future yard hydrant replacements with the Yard Hydrant Made Easy™ DIY Kit. The YHME DIY Kit delivers all the benefits of the other YHME models at a lower cost to you.

The YHME DIY Kit comes with all the components you need to assemble your own YHME except for the casing pipe. You provide a 4” sch. 40 PVC pipe, cut to accommodate your hydrant bury depth, to serve as the casing. We provide a hole saw for you to drill the hole for your pitless adapter. Install the pitless adapter, drainage components, and top cap, and you are ready to install the YHME.

The Model 303DIYK is just like the 101DIYK but with the addition of a dual check valve for backflow prevention. If you need to prevent water from the hydrant from flowing back into the water supply, then the Model 303DIYK is what you need. All models include our custom pitless adapter to attach to your hydrant.* The YHME does not come with a hydrant installed.

Yard Hydrant Made Easy™ Models 101DIYK and 303DIYK Features:

• Bottom section (pitless assembly) including:

  • Lead-free brass pitless adapter to screw into your hydrant for simple slide-in/slide-out hydrant replacement

  • Filtered drainage section to keep out dirt and improve drainage reliability

  • ASSE 1024 lead-free bronze dual-check-valve backflow preventer (Model 303DIYK)

• Top section (upper assembly) including:

  • Durable ABS top cap (black only)

  • Stainless steel hardware

• Can be installed to any bury depth; you provide the 4” sch. 40 PVC casing pipe to required length.

• Protection against corrosion from soil or livestock

• Replaceable o-ring seal (each unit ships with a spare o-ring)

• Works with standard, 3/4” frost-free yard hydrants (top cap will not fit nominal 1” hydrants).*

• Maximum operating water pressure 100 psig

DON’T FORGET to check out our YHME Shutoff Kit — allowing you to shut off water to your hydrant while keeping the rest of the system operational.

*Note: Nominal hydrant size for standard hydrants on the market is derived from the inlet connection at the bottom of the hydrant, not the actual riser pipe size. Standard hydrants use a riser pipe that is one pipe-size higher than the nominal (inlet) size. This model of the YHME will only fit 3/4” hydrants, which have a 1” (1.315” actual outside diameter) riser pipe. If you are using a 1” hydrant, which has a 1.25” (1.66” actual outside diameter) riser pipe, then check out our Model 101K+ or 303K+. Contact us if you have any questions.
