Frost-Proof Hydrant for Deep Bury
The Simmons 805SB is a yard hydrant built for a five-foot bury depth and an overall length of 90-1/2 inches. It suits property owners who need a reliable water outlet below the frost line. The 3/4-inch FNPT inlet connects to standard supply lines while the 1/2-inch hose outlet accepts common garden fittings.
Galvanised Casing with Lockable Cast-Iron Head
A one-inch galvanised steel casing protects the internal rod from soil contact and corrosion. The head and handle are both cast iron, providing a rigid mounting platform that resists impact. A lockable handle prevents unauthorised use, and the SBR-coated stainless-steel plunger seals against a 7/16-inch galvanised rod for positive shut-off.
Rated for 123 psi and 190 Degrees F
The hydrant operates at a maximum pressure of 123 psi and withstands water temperatures up to 190 degrees Fahrenheit. Certified lead-free to NSF 372, it meets drinking-water safety requirements. California Proposition 65 warnings apply for listed chemicals.

Questions about this item
What does the 3/4 in FNPT inlet and 1/2 in hose outlet mean for flow and pressure?
The 3/4 in FNPT inlet and 1/2 in hose outlet limit flow to what the smaller outlet can pass, while the 123 psi max pressure rating caps the system pressure regardless of inlet size.
What hole size and clearance does the 1 in galvanized casing and 7/16 in rod need for installation?
Bore a hole slightly larger than the 1 in galvanized casing so it slides freely, then allow enough vertical space for the 90-1/2 in overall length and 5 ft bury depth when setting the hydrant.
How do I set the SBR-coated stainless plunger at the bottom of the 5 ft bury depth, and what step is often missed?
Lower the hydrant until the plunger seats at the 5 ft bury depth, then backfill carefully to prevent casing shift; the step often missed is verifying the lockable handle fully closes the plunger before pressure testing.
