It is recommended that you not drink the water that comes out of the hydrant. Also, be sure to check your local code requirements. This allows the hydrant to meet this code requirement by protecting the domestic potable water supply. Our Model 303 includes this dual check valve back-flow preventer. Some codes allow for the installation of a dual check valve back-flow preventer upstream of a standard yard hydrant to protect the water source from contamination. Maximum operating water pressure 100 psigĬlick here for full installation instructions.Ĭlick here to watch our installation video.Ĭertain local codes consider a standard yard hydrant as a source of possible water contamination due to the underground weep, or drain, hole. The filtered drainage section at the bottom of the YHME helps to prevent this potential problem. However, it is still recommended to place additional rock around the base of the YHME prior to back-fill. (For more on this read your hydrant manufacturer's instruction manual.) If no rock is installed, this can cause freezing and hydrant damage to develop. The manufacturers of standard yard hydrants recommend back-filling around the base of hydrants with rock to allow the water expelled from the weep hole to soak into the ground. We do not endorse any particular brand of hydrant, but the Green Yard Master™ buyer’s guide is a good place to start. The yard hydrant then slides into the stationary portion of the pitless adapter at the bottom of the YHME casing. The water supply line attaches to the 1” FIP threaded inlet of the pitless adapter on the bottom outside of the casing, and the 3/4” yard hydrant (of your choice) is to be attached to the inside removable portion of the pitless adapter. Thus the YHME mitigates the risk of both corrosion- and freeze-related failures, extending the life of your hydrant.Īlso, our Model 303 is the only system on the market that incorporates an ASSE 1024 certified dual-check-valve backflow preventer to protect your water supply as required by certain plumbing codes.Īll YHME models use tough, heavy-wall PVC telescoping casing, modified lead-free brass pitless adapters, durable ABS top caps and drain components, and stainless steel hardware. Additionally, the drainage section of the YHME is slotted and filled with filter media to prevent the hydrant’s weep hole from getting clogged with debris. The YHME casing also helps to protect your hydrant from soil corrosion. The labor and frustration of digging up and replacing a leaking yard hydrant will be a thing of the past. Once the YHME is installed, the next time the hydrant needs to be replaced, no busting concrete, tearing up the yard, or excavation of any type, will be required. The YHME is an innovative casing system that is installed when replacing an existing standard yard hydrant (frost-free hydrant, or freeze-proof hydrant) or when installing a new standard yard hydrant. Homes, farms, ranches, RV parks, campgrounds, golf courses… anywhere you install a YHME, life will be easier. The patented Yard Hydrant Made Easy™ was designed to save yard hydrant owners large sums of money and time in replacing/repairing their hydrants. (If you only need a 2’ bury, then check out our YHME Kit.) Our innovative telescoping design allows you to install your standard 3/4” yard hydrant at any freeze depth between between 3' and 7'. Once installed, the Yard Hydrant Made Easy™ will greatly reduce the cost and trouble of future hydrant replacements. Replacing a yard hydrant can be very costly, labor-intensive, and stressful. Any installed yard hydrant will eventually need to be replaced. Now all of a sudden it Only shows up in a totally different state and with exact name search. Is there something I could do to send signals to Google to show that I am in Matthews, NC?Ģ months ago my listing quit showing up at all unless you typed exact business name What could possibly cause my listing or Google to do this? I have been without my listing for a few months now and have NO calls coming in from it. If you search Locksmith Independence, KS it shows up on the maps. If you search Locksmith Matthews, NC my listing does not show up at all. Keep in mind the GMB is in Matthews, NC All my service areas and the actual map show the correct areas. Now if I search my business name under the auto populate I see it with Independence, KS on the listing. I pretty much do not have any traffic, views or calls now. Posted about my SAB listing a few weeks ago about not showing up in search only when you entered the exact name.
