Configurazione e installazione
Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance and longevity of your wall hydrant. It is recommended that installation be performed by a qualified professional.
- Preparare l'approvvigionamento idrico: Ensure the main water supply to the installation area is completely shut off. Drain any residual water from the pipes.
- Seleziona Località: Choose a suitable exterior wall location, ensuring there is adequate space inside the wall for the hydrant's length (10 inches).
- Crea apertura: Drill or cut a single hole through the exterior wall, large enough to accommodate the hydrant's body.
- Connect to Water Line:
- Per connessioni filettate, apply Teflon tape or pipe sealant to the threads of the water supply line.
- Per solder connections, properly clean and flux the pipe and the hydrant's connection point before soldering.
Note: A mark on the top of the threaded end indicates the correct alignment for the faucet.
- Mount the Hydrant: Insert the hydrant through the wall opening. Use the notched flange to secure the hydrant stably against the siding or brick. Fasten it securely to the wall structure using appropriate screws (not included).
- Controllare eventuali perdite: Once installed, slowly turn on the main water supply and carefully inspect all connections for any signs of leaks.
Istruzioni per l'uso
Operating your Mueller Industries Wall Hydrant is straightforward:
- Per attivare: Rotate the handle a quarter turn counter-clockwise. Water will begin to flow from the spout.
- Per spegnere: Rotate the handle a quarter turn clockwise until it stops. The water flow will cease, and the sillcock will automatically drain any remaining water from the tube, ensuring its frost-free function.
- Prevenzione del riflusso: The integrated backflow preventer automatically protects your potable water supply from contamination by preventing water from flowing back into the system.
Manutenzione
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and proper function of your wall hydrant:
- winterization: Due to its frost-free design, the hydrant automatically drains when shut off. However, for extreme cold conditions, it is advisable to disconnect any hoses from the spout to ensure complete drainage.
- Controlli delle perdite: Periodically inspect the connections and the body of the hydrant for any signs of leaks or drips. Address any leaks promptly to prevent water damage.
- Funzionamento della maniglia: If the quarter-turn handle becomes stiff or difficult to operate, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the stem (after shutting off water and disassembling the handle, if necessary).
- Pulizia: Clean the exterior of the hydrant with a soft cloth and mild soap as needed to maintain its appearance. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
