The Simmons 805LF Yard Hydrant is a frost-proof outdoor water supply designed to provide reliable access to water for lawn, garden, livestock, and fire protection year-round, even in sub-zero temperatures. Unlike standard hydrants that freeze and fail in winter, this hydrant automatically drains when closed, preventing ice buildup in the standpipe and ensuring dependable water flow regardless of season.
The shut-off valve operates below the frost line, keeping the mechanism safe from freezing weather. With a spout height of 24 inches from ground level, the hydrant fills stock tanks and garden containers. The robust cast iron head and galvanized steel construction are built to last in demanding outdoor environments.
