Campbell YH-5LF Frost Proof Yard Hydrant
The Campbell YH-5LF is a lead-free frost proof yard hydrant designed for outdoor water supply in freezing conditions. It features a 5 ft bury depth and an overall length of 93 in. The unit is built with a 1 in galvanized casing and cast iron head for durability. It meets NSF 61 standards for potable water safety.
Replaces standard spigots prone to freezing
This hydrant upgrades installations where a basic hose bibb fails in cold weather. The self-draining bleeder valve empties the riser after each use to prevent ice damage. The jump is worth it when the supply line sits below the frost line at a 5 ft depth. It handles a maximum pressure of 60 psi for typical residential service.
Installation uses 3/4 in FNPT inlet connection
The inlet connects to a 3/4 in female NPT fitting on the supply line. The outlet accepts a standard 3/4 in hose thread for immediate use. A lockable cast iron handle secures the operating rod against unauthorized operation. The 7/16 in brass rod and nitrile plunger resist corrosion, though debris in the line can foul the plunger seat.

Questions about this item
What inlet connection does the 3/4 in FNPT yard hydrant need to attach to the water line?
The hydrant has a 3/4 inch FNPT inlet that threads onto a matching male pipe thread; use pipe sealant rated for potable water and tighten to the fitting manufacturer's torque value.
What is the correct sequence for installing the self-draining bleeder valve so the hydrant empties after each use?
Set the hydrant plumb in the trench, backfill around the 1 in galvanized casing, then open the lockable handle fully to let the bleeder valve purge water from the 7/16 in brass rod chamber before closing.
Which internal parts should be inspected or replaced after several seasons of 60 psi service?
The nitrile plunger and brass rod are the wear items; remove the cast-iron head, pull the rod assembly, and replace the plunger if it shows cracking or loss of seal at the 60 psi rating.
