The Prier Anti-Siphon Wall Hydrant, model 482, is a premium solution for ensuring year-round water supply in structures prone to freezing temperatures. This hydrant, a result of PRIER's acquisition of Mansfield’s Brass Division in 2007, offers a robust design that incorporates an anti-siphon device and backflow preventor for added protection. The 482 Series is available in Lead Free and is similar to Mansfield’s original patented vacuum breaker design, now proudly manufactured in PRIER's Kansas City area plant.

Key Features and Specifications

The 482 Series Anti-Siphon Wall Hydrant is engineered for durability and ease of use. Its "smart-turn" design allows for a 180-degree opening and closing, ensuring smooth operation and precise flow control. This hydrant is available in sizes ranging from 4” to 14”, in 2” increments, making it versatile for various applications. Key features include an ASSE 1019 and C-UPC approval, easy half-turn operation, and an integral cast backflange for secure mounting. The hydrant boasts a solid brass body and seat, ensuring long-lasting performance, and a satin nickel plated body that maintains an attractive finish over time. A stainless steel handle screw and an easy grip polycarbonate operating handle add to the user-friendly design.

Benefits and Practical Uses

The Prier Anti-Siphon Wall Hydrant is not just a product; it's a reliable solution for maintaining consistent water supply in challenging environments. Its ability to prevent freezing and backflow makes it an ideal choice for structures in cold climates. The hydrant's durable ACME threads secure the stem at the seat end, ensuring a tight seal. The solid stem design, combined with an EPDM backflow preventor and AFG teflon with graphite packing, simplifies maintenance and allows for field repair without the need for special tools. The spout aligning mark adds an extra layer of convenience, making installation and operation even more straightforward. With the 482 Series, PRIER continues to deliver innovative and high-quality solutions for the plumbing industry.
