Q:Can I use this for a 24 inch bury depth. I would the the handle to be higher.

Answer This Question

A:  The handle would be high, but unless you live in a warm climate, you'd run the risk of freezing at 2'. The unit is intended to be buried at 3' to prevent freezing. I will say that I've had several different brands of these faucets and this one is the best I've had.

      Q:Can the brass piece containing the weep drain be replaced

      Answer This Question

      A:  Yes, please search for item YHBA on HomeDepot.com.

      by|Jun 7, 2022

        A:  Yes, if you can find the replacement piece.  Be prepared with a sturdy vise and a large pipe wrench, or 2 people with pipe wrenches, that piece can be very stubborn to remove.

          Q:Is this hydrant safe to drink from?
          by|Dec 9, 2020

          Answer This Question

          A:  It says on the package that it contains lead and for non potable water use only.

          by|Nov 10, 2022

            A:  Depending on your water source, yes. I'd give it a good flush first though.

            by|Nov 10, 2022

              A:  Technically, this is a utility hydrant, so it should not be used for potable water. This is due to how the water is wasted from the weep hole in the valve; it could siphon contaminants from the ground. However, if you know there are no contaminants, there is nothing specifically about the hydrant that would preclude you from drinking from it. It is 3rd party approved to be low lead.

                    I live in Moab, UT. I installed this product in the Spring of 2019. In the Fall of 2020 (without a freeze), the product developed a small hairline fracture near the base. I dug it up thinking the connection might be leaking only to find that the product itself is faulty. It was an inexpensive model so I guess I got what I paid for. I recommend purchasing something that may cost a bit more. It sucks digging up the gravel and digging down 3' in a bunch of water and creating a space big enough to turn a couple of big wrenches. POOR QUALITY!

                      Sorry for your experience. It would appear the unit was over-adjusted forcing the brass rod to close to the handle head. When this happens a unit can get bent when shutting off. Please feel free call the Everbilt team to discuss adjustment procedures at 844-251-7446.

                        NOT FOR USE FOR DRINKING WATER (POTABLE WATER)!
                        After 20 years of only having outside water spigots on my 1940's built home that required draining each year before the onslaught of arctic cold-like winters, I came into possession of this frost-proof yard hydrant. The item was described by the company as "Yard hydrant complies with federal lead laws." So I dug my way through rocky soil to connect to the home's existing waterline and was ready to begin installation when I noticed the "fine print" disclaimer at the bottom of the items packaging: "THIS PRODUCT IS A UTILITY HYDRANT FOR NON-POTABLE WATER USE". In other words, don't drink the water coming from this hydrant or use the water to water your garden! I believe the company is deceiving buyers by advertising it as complying with federal lead laws but NOT advertising it as not for potable water use! And this brings to bear the question: how many buyers have purchased this item and installed it for drinking water use?

                        Worthless Product!!! Save your money!!
                        I finished installing this and got water turned back on, This cheap, worthless, low-quality, inferior, imported piece of third world garbage (how's that for inappropriate language?) couldn't take the pressure and the brass valve bent and wouldn't close. I almost flooded my back yard because the valve failed and couldn't handle the pressure and I was standing in about 3 inches of water because the valve wouldn't close. Now I am stuck with a 60.00 monstrosity in my yard. Tried straightening the part and snapped off and now I am unable to remove the valve, but doesn't matter since Home Depot doesn't carry replacement parts!!! Now I will have to re-dig the 3 ft. hole pull this thing out and just go with straight 3/4" pipe. Thank you Home Depot for successfully wasting both my time and my money!!!

                                  It was very easy to install. The pipe fittings at the bottom are identical to those of the broken hydrant I had removed, so it was simply a matter of taping the threads and screwing it together, then back filling the hole with gravel.
