How to Install

1 Bore a 1-1/8" hole through the foundation

wall or the ﬂoor joist band to insert the

wall faucet from the outside.

2 Position the wall faucet so that the outside

spout is pointed down. To check spout

position from inside the building, notice that

when the mark (top/dot) on the connector

tip (inlet) points up, the outside spout is

down (see ﬁgure 1).

3 Slip the bevel plastic between ﬂange

wall faucet and the upper side of wall by

inserting the thin part ﬁrst (see ﬁgure 1)

Draining is necessary for frost proof

performance.

4 Make certain the tube on the wall faucet

has a slight downward pitch for proper

drainage.

5 If the inside connection (inlet) is to be

sweated (soldered), remove stem before

soldering connection while heating.

WARNING: Damage to the wall faucet

from freezing water - not properly

drained - voids warranty.

6 Secure wall faucet ﬂange with two #8 or

#10 woods screws or with appropriate

masonry hardware.

Make certain that the wall faucet connector tip

(inlet) size matches existing water supply lines,

and that through-the-wall length is adequate:

available tips are indicated above.

IMPORTANT - TO ASSURE DRAINAGE

Turn wall faucet handle to closed position and

detach hose from spout during freezing

weather. If hose is left attached, the frost proof

wall faucet can not drain properly and trapped

water may freeze and damage wall faucet.

The frost proof wall faucet assures no-freeze

operation because the valve mechanism shuts

off water inside the building, where it is heated.

If building will be unheated for any length of

time, then all water lines should be drained and

plumbing ﬁxtures winterized.
