What is a Yard Hydrant?
A yard hydrant is an outdoor water faucet designed to provide a reliable source of water in rural areas, particularly on farms or ranches. Unlike traditional faucets, which are installed inside a building, a yard hydrant is installed outside and usually mounted on a pipe that extends underground.
One of the main features of a yard hydrant is that it has a long pipe or stand that extends several feet above the ground. This feature allows users to easily access water without having to bend down or crawl on the ground. Additionally, yard hydrants are often designed with a frost-proof feature that prevents the water in the pipe from freezing during cold weather.
When a yard hydrant is turned on, water flows through the pipe and out of the spout, which is usually located at the top of the stand. Yard hydrants are often used for tasks such as watering livestock, irrigating crops, and filling water troughs. They are also useful for general outdoor water use, such as washing cars or watering gardens.
