How do Frost Free hydrants work?
Frost-free hydrants operate in freez- ing temperatures because when fully shut off, water in the riser pipe drains out into the bottom of the hole through a bleed off valve leaving nothing to freeze above the frost line. Partially closing the handle doesn’t allow water drainage, and the hy- drant may freeze.
