3/4" Self-Closing Lever-Handle VA Hydrant

Model M-175VA delivers year-round service outside or in unheated buildings. The M-175VA model provides a lighter Operating Spring to ease the force required to operate the Hydrant in order to accommodate users who may find traditional Hydrants too difficult to activate. Incoming Water Supply Pressure PSI must be properly regulated and adjusted to accommodate lowered Compression Spring rate.

To provide freeze resistant functionality, the control valve is located below the frost line. The reduced-pressure, springloaded handle raises and lowers the internal supply line assembly, controlling the valve. The internal supply column is evacuated through drainage ports in the bottom. The hydrant must be operated fully "ON."
