Aquor House Hydrant V2+ Frost Free Outdoor Garden Faucet with Quick Connect and Anti-Siphon, 6 inch, Slate Gray Polymer

This is my second Aquor hydrant that I have installed in my house. Hands down best looking spigot/hydrant you can install especially when combined with the stainless steel lids (40 dollar extra). However there are things you need to understand before purchasing. First I have used 2 separate professional plumbers to help with each install. One was installed over a year ago and one installed this week. I was installing to replace existing frost free spigot that had starting leaking. In both installs the plumbers had never installed one before and I had to walk them through the install (I had watched the YouTube videos so explain was easy) I had even called the office and let them know what the plumber was installing so they could have the proper tools on the truck. There is a list of things to tell the plumber on the website. In both cases I had to cut holes in the sheet rock due to the builder not leaving any access pex tube in the walls. The plumbers had to cut small 6X6 square holes in both cases. Easy wall fixes if you have experience in this or you can do what I did the second instal and just put in a 6x6 access panel and the hole is fixed in about 5 minutes. I bought the panel on Amazon and cost 10 dollars.New construction this is a no brainer have these installed,Existing construction, just beware that if doing yourself you will need some tools and about 3 hours from start to finish and you will also need to know how to connect pex tubing if newer construction or a mix of hard pipe and pex if an older home.Plumbers are expensive and cost me 2 hours of labor on both installs at 300 dollars both times. Average price to buy and install with plumbers is about 500 dollars with the stainless steel covers per unit.Would I recommend them, yes I would 100% recommend them they are functional, long lasting and beautiful. Original install has been working flawlessly for 2 years. I have received many compliments on them. I used 6 inch units in both cases and we live in western Washington where we get freezing weather for multiple months. One last note if going into an interior wall the 6 was fine but this last init was on an exterior wall and would have been an easier install with a 12 inch unit. If you have a frost free unit you can turn of the water (whole house cut off) and then remove the handle and stem to see how long of a unit is there. Hope this helps someone.

This thing is a tank. Very well made - they didn't mess around here. You may purchase with varying lengths, which is helpful. Easy to screw and unscrew the connector.I purchased two of these one for the side of my house on the front side, and another on the same side on the south side. I also got the stainless steel cover for both. These will feed retractable hoses for the front and back.Also, I had an professional plumber/sprinkler guy over at my house. I showed it to him and now he wants to know how to sell these as a distributor. He really like them.

Was impressed at how easy the installation was - we ended up using a jigsaw to cut the hole rather than the templated suggestion of two holes from a hole saw. The surrounding border of the hose outlet was large enough to cover any imperfections in the cut, which was great.Connecting and disconnecting the hose by hand was much easier than expected - our 4 year old was even able to do it! Since this is in our garage, we were particularly interested in being able to disconnect the house between uses so that it didn't inadvertently get bumped by a trash can, bicycle (etc.) and throw a flood of water on the floor. Paired with a 50' flex hose, this was a great addition to our garage for quick and easy cleaning of floors and cars!

I purchased this hydrant to eliminate the need to wrap an outdoor spigot during hard freezes. I measured 8.75 inches between the outside brick and inside stud cavity (2x4 wall). A call to Aquor customer support advised I should use a 6 inch hydrant. Customer support was very friendly and helpful. I used a Spyder carbide tip hole saw, however since I had an existing hole, there was no surface for the pilot bit to guide the hole saw. I solved this by creating a template from a scrap piece of wood and the template provided by Aquor. I first leveled the wood template on the brick and drilled the four mounting holes. I then installed the plastic anchors and then used the screws to temporarily mount the wood template to the brick. This gave me a good guide to for the two holes. Afterwards I realized that ony the top hole needs to go all the way through (but both going through are okay). The finished look is clean and operation is easy. It would be nice if the bottom opening had a slight lip to help the water drain away from the wall. When the hose is disconnected, a little bit of water dribbles down the wall. Hopefully this doesn't cause any stains. Overall I am very pleased with this product.

Sorry for the messy photo construction site, I'm the homeowner and I installed this into a metal garage. Having the whole thing spray foam insulated on Monday wanted to get this installed before that happen. Installation could not have been simpler very simple. Easy to do definitely idiot proof:-) nice template to put on the wall to know where holes to cut. Just a suggestion is I wish there was a little bit of leeway in getting it balanced/plum when putting the screws in you need to pay real close attention to where you put your pilot hole screws. Wood would've been much simpler concrete definitely simpler, but going into a tin metal building, not so simple to get it plumb after the fact. My first one it was perfectly plum the second one which I installed 20 minutes later was off ever so slightly. I think I'll be the only one noticing overall love the product will be installing these on my home in a couple of months when we were at that stage of construction.
