The Watts 8142406 Hydrant Repair Kit is a complete and versatile product, the Non-Freeze HY-420-CIA model, developed to meet the needs of HVAC systems to ensure and restore non-freeze fire hydrants functionality for cold conditions. This kit contains the basic parts that are needed to fix some of the problems associated with these essential firefighting apparatus. Non-freeze hydrants are those that do not allow water to stand in the hydrant barrel after use because water in the barrel is likely to freeze and make the hydrant unusable. They do this through a drain mechanism that discharges the barrel when the hydrant is turned off.
