As a master plumber you do not add sealant to the inside of a fitting. Too much sealant will reduce flow or even clog the line in the future. You can also add a 90 on the weep hole pointed down to help keep dirt out.
Yep. When you load up internal threads with dope, as you start screwing on the connection the excess that builds up has nowhere to go and gets pushed INTO the pipe and subsequently into the internals of your hydrant (or whatever is being attached). Nice video regardless. 👍
This is not a huge deal, as long as you don't GLOB it in there; the excess pipe dope is gonna wash right through from water pressure anyway. BUT I concur that the pipe dope needs to go on the male threads only.
Congratulations on being the only video on all the hydrant how to videos I looked at to address the major issue of not preventing debris from entering the drain hole. Every other video just buries it in gravel. I did the same thing and now I have two of them which I'm not sure can be properly repaired without digging the entire thing up. They are so stiff you can barely open them now, after 5 years
The only thing I would add is putting some type of rod down to hold the hydrant in place. We used a t-post and zip tied it to the hydrant to hold it vertically from the bottom of the hole so if an animal uses it for a scratch post or something it will resist getting pushed over. I'm so glad you showed the bucket method. Thanks for this video!
Great video, and very instructive! I live in North Texas (heavy clay soil), and the advice about protecting the drain hole is excellent. Thanks for taking time to make this.
Fixing to put in 3 of these. Gotta a little money so will probably get the Woodfords. That link you got goes to an out of stock item. Thanks so much for the bucket and fabric idea, :)
There's no twang in your voice yet. East Texas has a way of making that happen. Excellent video. I survived the 2021 Texas Freeze with hardly any issues but now I'm prepping to ensure that I when that cycle hits again in 100 years, I'll be even more prepared. :-)
@@CountryLivingExperience Thanks for the video. I purchased the Woodford Y34-3 "IOWA" model for $161 on Amazon and installed it. I used your links to purchase the extras. I had to substitute the 3/4" female npt to 3/4" female slip PVC because the one on Amazon was completely threaded and all I needed was a smooth slip. I was replacing an existing faucet that had other lines involved, digging in the Central Texas black clay. The digging was by far the most difficult part. The faucet model that you employed was not available on Amazon so I went with the iconic one. Your video is MUCH appreciated.
I’m in the process of digging one up now because I have water bubbling from somewhere down there. In sure this will help me once I find the leak. Thanks
This video was SO helpful; despite using the T post and clamps, I still want more stability for my faucet, so plan to pour small concrete pad @ground level around the stand pipe. Since my bucket with rocks is totally sealed, the concrete collar won't inhibit the drainage of the weep hole.
I did a project in the 90's where I put a freezeproof hydrant in a ditch along with a 4 inch corrugated drain and a 10/3 UF cable for a lamp post and future power at my garden. I put the 1/2 water line on the bottom , then the 4 inch, then the cable. It was min 24 inches to the water line, which should have worked well. I used one bag of pea gravel, probably not enough, and didn't use any cloth. Well it failed. The cheap hydrant developed a drip that froze and busted. I had to install a shut off valve at the house when my back yard turned into an ice skating rink. I bought a new better quality hydrant, 48 inch, thinking it would be two feet in the ground and two above. Again I was wrong. It's going to stick 4 foot in the air. Thanks for the video, I plan to dig all this up and try again. Or maybe hire a plumber to do it right so I have to never deal with it again.
I'm here for the negative critiques, since I'm about to do my first one (all hate is not bad). I'm commenting because I love the shirt. That Paul family, might have been, ahead of the curve.
Here I am again running across content relevant to me years after you made it. I learn from your videos. I recently put in a couple of raised bed gardens. I want to run water to it with a hydrant style. The water source is a shed (pump house). My question is should I drill through the shed concrete and run PEX under ground to hydrant? Or should I run it out the wall like any frost free valve to a hose that runs underground? Thanks for all your videos!
Hi - thanks for the useful video! I was wondering if there's any downside to wrapping the bottom of the hydrant where the weep hole is with water permeable geotextile in addition to everything else you recommend. Thinking this would be an added layer of protection for keeping the weep hole from getting clogged with soil?
You're welcome. The only thing I would worry about with wrapping the weephole with that fabric is more of a chance of clogging. If any dirt builds up on that fabric, it won't be permeable for long.
#2 reason for failure is adding a splitter as you've done and leaving it attached during winter. Splitters and hoses should all be removed and drained or you'll be defeating the draining below ground feature.
Can I tap into my irrigation main line (regular city water) - the irrigation system that I shut down in the winter - and run it to one of these hydrants? I won’t need the hydrant in winter months but would love to have one of these at the far end of my acre for the garden and to run some sensor sprinklers for pest control.
I have one that stopped working as soon as the weather started to freeze. In the summer it did leak water. It didn't seem important at the time but now I don't know what to do...
I’m surprised they don’t give you an air hose hook up to blast the dirt out of the hole if it gets clogged. Seems like a straight forward solution to a common problem
The air hose will inevitably become a dirt/debris hose, so . . . you’ll have to either get an air hose for your air hose or add a vacuum to the air hose so that the dirt can get sucked out. At that, I reckon you might as well install a web cam around your drain hole to keep an eye on things.
“Thread sealant” is a misunderstanding of what pipe-dope & Teflon tape actually “do”. It’s the pipe thread that does the ceiling not the pipe soap nor the Teflon tape. So what the heck does the pipe dope and the Teflon tape too? It allows the threads to slip as tight as possible so you can tighten the bejeebers out of it & as a result? It is forever & ONLY the pipe THREADS that does the sealing.
Never tread a plastic female fitting over a metal male fitting. Good chance the female pvc will crack in the future. You can however install plastic male to female metal.
Haven't had to do this yet, but it seems like if you backflushed the hydrant, it would clean out the weep hole? The weep hole is only open when the valve is closed, so by attaching a hose to it and another spigot, you should be able to blow any crud out. How long before anymore crud gets back in would be anyone's guess.
In theory that would work but you have to have a space for the water and dirt to go once it leaves the weep hole. You need the bucket to create the space.
Question; I will have a rain catch barrel I want to connect to a hydrant. Do you know at all the height distance I have to elevate the barrel to get decent water pressure down to the hydrant?
I guess that all depends on how big the barrel is and how big your pipe is. I don't know the fluid dynamics/pressure calcs of it all. The higher the better i surmise.
Should have set it at 12-18" and you'll have less bending over. My pipes are buried 3 ft, (because?? prior owners did many strange things, they also ran iron pipe up two feet above ground with a simple hose bib on top for no freeze protection at all.) though my frost line is maybe 6" in a bad year, so I put a piece of sch80 threaded pipe on the bottom of a 2ft bury hydrant to get the top up 30-36" above the ground.
So I have this installed at my house and I’m trying to figure out how I can put my garden, fruit trees and lawn on a timer. I’m guessing somehow I’ll need a spigot. So I just dig a trench and install one? Then I still need the hydrant always open?
Yes, just dig a trench to wherever you need to put the hydrant. The hydrant is the spigot so you can put a timer directly on it. If you have the timer then you need to leave it open as long as it is not freezing.
Does the water line run from a pressure tank? Getting ready to set-up a camp. Was wondering if something like this could be connected directly from a well pump. Would basically plan to have a switch or plug to turn the pump on and off manually. Would want to use this to fill water tanks, then turn the pump off.
I have a frost free hydrant that i installed recently n the summer. Dug it 3ft deep to me the pvc line. Removed old one added everything in your video but the bucket and the liner.. When the peep hole gets clogged can it b fixed or do i buy a new hydrant
I have a question on that farm faucet if you leave it on to get water to ur animals will it freeze or do you have to turn on every time...and shutoff after everyuse
I'm curious how you screwed the two fittings together with the nipple down in the hole at 7:20. Both male right hand threads on the nipple one side will tighten while the other side won't even start. Otherwise great video and I learned how to keep the weep hole clear.
Great Video, however, after doing some digging to replace the hydrant, it looks to me like the supply line is not PVC; it is some sort of PEX material. I measured the PEX to be about 1" external diameter. Can anyone help this novice plumber with connecting my PEX supply pipe to the hydrant?
More than likely that is black poly. It is common to use that. I have some for our rain tanks and they carry it at Home Depot. You will find the fittings there f you need adapters.
Thanks for your reply. My pipe is definitely white in color. Looking at Home Depot, the back poly pipe is colored black. I guess I'll need some PEX adapters to fit the pipe to the hydrant. @@CountryLivingExperience
I like your shirt, great video . I’ve always use the gravel but never the 5 gallon bucket…. Installing some hydrants this next week, going to use the 5 gallon buckets great idea!
Did you just get all your pipeline to dig the well from a big box store or did you have a company dig it for you? Im really interested in hand diging my own well and that would be helpful to know were to get the correct pipes on a budget.
Could you make a video or private message me about how you installed the PVC line to your greenhouse? I’ve got a well and want to add a line out to my greenhouse and can’t find any information on how to do that. Or on how to add a remote spigot from a standard cold water line in the house.
Don't ever put pipe dope on the female side of a fitting, male only. When you thread in the pipe it is going to push all that dope up inside the pipe which means it will end up in the valve causing leaks.
I'm having a huge issue.....I have this in my backyard...I have a line running from the house to the hydrant....however it was spraying from the weep hole when I turned the hydrant off...it eventually stopped so we buried it but when I came back later the hole was filled with water and we have to re dig....I didn't turn the water off at the house so I'm assuming it was just spraying out the weep hole....am I doing something wrong? please help.me
Sounds like that is just the water draining out of the weep hole from the top of the hydrant. It could be that there is a bad seal or there is dirt in the seal causing it to not close properly all the way.
Why didn't you put the bottom of the hydrant into a french drain sock and then put that in the bucket? Just an old lady getting ready to do this project and wanted to know why not?
Am I ok I dug well in my basement it in side my house the basement is heated. Sounds like a stupid question But I was told the only stupid question is the one I don’t ask
Lol. Of course. I think you are making a big assumption as to what my political views are. I am not sure you know much about the gentleman on that t-shirt.
I use a 90 deg elbow on the drain hole pointing down to help reduce dirt and crud getting into it.
