5517Guardian Dual Check® Hydrant and Stainless Steel Box

Fits the Space of One Standard Brick, Aesthetic Design for Building Exterior, Ergonomic Design

Specifically designed with tilt-up concrete buildings in mind, this hydrant box will cut your wall hydrant installation labor time by at least 75 percent. Once your walls are in place, you simply core drill a six-inch hole in the wall and slide the hydrant box right in. The Guardian Hydrant allows water to be shut off at the hydrant, preventing building-wide service disruptions. It offers freeze protection for outdoors applications and full flow with a quarter turn of the key or handle. An integral vacuum breaker and dual check valves eliminate contamination of the water supply. The stainless steel box conceals the nozzle and operating mechanism. The locking cover prevents unauthorized use.

Pro-Tip: The Guardian Dual Check hydrant, with the box, is the go-to choice for contractors working on brick façade buildings. This ergonomic hydrant is designed to fit into the space of one standard brick for easy installation. That adds up to significant time savings because you eliminate extra cuts and mortar repair.
