Commercial Freezeless Wall Hydrant
The Woodford Model 65 is a commercial-grade freezeless wall hydrant designed for professional plumbing installations. It automatically drains when the handle is shut off, even with a hose attached, preventing freeze damage in cold climates. This hydrant suits contractors and facility managers needing reliable year-round outdoor water access. It is not for buyers seeking a basic residential sillcock without automatic draining or vacuum breaker protection.
Automatic Drain Operation
Turning the key clockwise seats the valve and opens the drain port, allowing water to exit the hydrant body without sprayback. The 3/8 in. solid brass operating rod provides durable actuation through the wall thickness. This design eliminates trapped water that could freeze and burst the hydrant during winter conditions. The hydrant includes a standard tee key for operation.
ASSE 1052 Vacuum Breaker
The integrated Nidel Model 34HA single-check vacuum breaker carries ASSE 1052 approval and IAPMO listing for backflow prevention. It features 3/4 in. male hose thread connection and is field testable for code compliance verification. The 37HA-CH vacuum breaker protects the potable water supply from contamination through hose connections. Repair parts remain readily available for long-term serviceability.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 34HA vacuum breaker on the 65 hydrant and what step is often missed?
Thread the 34HA onto the 3/4 in. male hose thread of the hydrant outlet and tighten; the step often missed is verifying the automatic drain still opens when the key is turned clockwise so the hydrant can drain completely.
What maintenance or replacement will the 34HA vacuum breaker need over time?
The 34HA is field-testable; if the check valve fails the test, replace the internal cartridge or the entire 34HA assembly — repair parts are readily available from the manufacturer.
What limit appears first on the 34HA during sustained use?
The ASSE 1052 approval covers back-siphonage protection; under continuous flow the single-check mechanism can reach its pressure-differential limit before the hydrant’s 3/8 in. brass rod shows wear.
