When you remove the adapter it drains a tiny bit of water but this is what clears the line to keep the frost free protection working perfectly every time It would be interesting for them to make a horizontal version though to make a retrofit install even easier.

(Also so much cleaner with fewer cables laying on the ground constantly plugged into the house.)

    For NEW home construction - remember to inform the plumber to install a loop flexible pipe inside the wall . REASON = if future repairs are required for Aquor Hydrant.
    A Loop pipe allows to slide the Aquor hydrant in and out , for inspection / repair or replacement.

    I would have probably put a short, horizontal 2x6 between the studs (blocking). Still drill the hole through the siding, sheathing and now blocking, but it would give you something firmer than OSB to secure your spigot too. I imagine you’d yank that thing out of the wall when you “just need you hose to reach a couple extra feet”.

      Can also add an extension to the shutoff. They sometimes fit in the original hole. All this does is move the shut off about a foot into the house so it wont freeze. It will look exactly the same as before.

    This is a nice item, I like it. GET RID OF OUTDATED JUNK FAUCETS. Replace them with 1/4 turn ball valve faucets. No o-rings and no gaskets. I replaced everyone of mine many years ago and have not had one leak or drip since. You can get ball valve faucets at any home improvement or hardware. I live in Michigan, USA. I have all outside 1/4 turn ball valve faucets and have never had a leak or a freeze problem. Old style faucets spigots are nothing but trouble.

      No problem, Harbor Freight, Lowe's, Home Depot, all made in China. Plus much cheaper to replace Harbor Freight tools if they "walk off the jobsite". VERY common problem. Take the good tools for interior finish projects, when its needed and easier to know who has access to your stuff.

      Wait until it cracks or they misplace the damn thing. Then you have to contact THAT company for THAT adapter, and I'll bet it costs $39.99 or something like that. A spigot at Lowes is like $4-6 and will last a LOT longer. And do yourself a favor and get a ball valve, which will last 1000 times longer than plastic "adapter" and/or a gate valve.

  • @jpol3808
    @jpol3808 2 года назад +2

    I like the new style it looks clean, but I would buy the adapter with the valve so i could shut off the water and leave the hose attached. I'm just wondering how well it's made and what its life expectancy is compared to the traditional one. I still think a nice shiny red handle on a brass fixture looks more country, especially in a rural areas. Decorative in its own way. Like an old water well, with its bucket full of flowers laying on the front lawn. And if your worried about the kids playing with the water, just let them play, because they are kids and that's how they have fun and learn on a hot day, or simply keep the screw out of the handle and put it up somewhere so they can't turn it on! Just like dad used to do! Lol.
