Aquor House Hydrant V2+ Frost Free Outdoor Garden Faucet with Quick Connect and Anti-Siphon, 10 inch, Slate Gray Polymer

Extremely well made brilliant product

We finally fitted this before winter and it works really well it's so easy to connect and easy to use, it took a bit of time drilling holes in wall, but once connected looks great

We didn't want an external tap sticking out of the wall on a narrow drive way. When we found the aquor wall hydrant we were delighted. It sits flush and neatly on our wall, is not susceptible to freezing and enables us to use a hose without any fuss. A great product

The builder/plumber who installed it for us said it was difficult to install because of the angle the pipe needed to be at but managed to install successfully in the end. It's a game changer for me as I've never had an outdoor tap before and use to have to run a hose pipe through the house via various taps and went through a number of adaptors to be adaptable to the tap I needed to use and in order to avoid leaks. Folks (80+) found it difficult to use due to the turning of the adaptor that needs to be inserted into the hydrant for it to release water as it requires a bit of strength, du they have to call upon me or someone else to do that bit for them, apart from that, it's a smashing bit of kit. Haven't been through a winter with it yet, so let's see how that goes, hoping for the best 🤞🏼

I have had this Aquor Wall Hydrant V2+ installed for about a month now and it has been fantastic. First, once the hose is connected there is no leak/drip at the hydrant. In the pictures you can see how the slow drip from where the hose connected to the old bibb started to create a drip stain on the siding (which needs to be painted, but that is not because of the Aquor). Second, because this faces the street, the improved appearance of the stainless cover makes a huge difference. It is one of those small things that will make you smile every time you see it. Something that I will need to do in the future, probably when I re-paint the siding, is add a block or one of Aquor's stainless blocks so that when the hose is disconnected from the drain it avoids getting any drips on the siding. Some things to consider to decide if the Aquor is right for you: 1. The flow is entirely controlled by connecting one of the Aquor connectors and it is either on full blast or not connected. For me this is no problem, I can easily regulate the flow at the other end of the hose with a nozzle and to be able to shut off water to the hose without disconnecting it I plan to buy Aquor's 45 degree connecter with a 1/4 turn valve. 2. Installation is pretty easy if you are decently comfortable handling a drill. Any connectors that you may need can easily be purchased from any hardware store (e.g. push-to-connect fittings and pex pipe). You really don't require any special tools beyond a 1 1/2 inch hole saw and maybe a jab saw. Then depending on what you're connecting to you may need something to cut the supply pipe. The rest can be done with push connect fittings and a wrench. 3. To retrofit it (like I did) you will need access to the hose supply pipe. For me installation was easy, the wall where the supply line is in the garage is very easy to access so I only needed to use the included drill template sticker and a hole saw to enlarge the hose bibb penetration (very clear instructions on how to do this are included). Then just cut the supply pipe, used a 90 degree elbow, some pex and 1 more threaded connector to connect to the Wall Hydrant V2+ and I was done. In total it only took me about 45 minutes to install after a 5 minute trip to the big orange store. TLDR; looks great, works great, easy to install if you have any DIY ability whatsoever.

I just had some hardie plank put around the house and wanted something that looks elegant as well as functional instead of an outside tap that you have to cover in the winter to stop it freezing. I decided on the Aquor wall hydrant for it looks, on receipt it was really sturdy and well made, took a couple of minutes to drill hole using template and secure through wall, from there it was really simple to connect to water source. Really pleased with look and functionality of this product

Saw the Aquor House Hydrant come to my design feed somehow on Houzz, or YouTube & researched it before purchasing. It’s interesting the design came from college students @ U of Wash! I love the Aquor’s sleek, low profile, unobtrusive look for a hose bib, and water performance. It’ll look great from my back patio deck, vs the old, ugly spigot. This is a great product and worth the install and product cost. The HH product is extremely sturdy, with a heavy, solid metal pipe & they give you stainless steel screws. It’s rated to last 20-30 yrs, per Matt Risinger of the Build Show’s video on the Aquor site. There’s a lot of marketing paperwork inside, along w a free straight connector. You should definitely buy the angled hose connector w the shut off ability, as the straight connector doesn’t have a shut off and shoots/streams quite a distance more than the angled hose. Made w a composite plastic (Delrin acetal rsin polymer), it’s crush proof to 200+ lbs (if run over by a car’s wheels). It’s mid Nov & freezing in MA @ night, and I love that the HH is frost free, and one less thing to winterize, but I’ll probably still turn off the water line in the fall. Purchased both 10” and 12”, but installed the 10”. The instructions should be clearer that if you’re in a cold climate, to choose the longer pipe so it’s further away from the cold outside wall & well inside the house. I have 2x6 construction, and an open basement, not closed up. Had a handyman install the mounting block with metal flashing on top & Aquor HH. I was lucky to find a terrific handyman/plumber from the Aquor website, under Installers, who did 25+ installs. Took 1.5 hrs, but the handyman also did some extra work to prevent an overly extended PEX from kinking & being pulled too far out by a plumber in the future. I looked at 3 different mounting block choices and the cedar siding will be replaced with James Hardie fiber cement siding, I went w/ a ¾” thick PVC mounting block; as didn’t want the flimsy vinyl, uninsulated one from the big box, orange store. I didn’t change the HH cover color yet, waiting for siding to be replaced before deciding between stainless, black or white. We will have white trim & windows, black doors, pale green siding. The extra right hole in the pictures was a plugged up hot water spigot, at one point, and won't be seen after the new siding's up. I spoke with 2 plumbers who didn’t think the HH was worth it, & didn’t like a separate hose connector that could be lost. I like the design, it adds to the house’s aesthetics & they are old school. The box comes with a straight hose connector, and they’ll give you another if you write an honest Amazon review. The other thing was I tried to find a solution from the Aquor engineers by contacting their Chat line. I wanted their help in figuring out how to tie the Aquor system with a 6 zone sprinkler system that requires a backflow preventer (Watts), and where the sprinkler water lines have to be blown out with compressed air every fall, thru a front of house spigot, on an exterior front wall. The whole system is super ugly in the front of my porch, and was too complicated for Aquor to figure out. Maybe they will have a solution in the future. However, they ghosted me, never emailed me back, nor did the Chat line person after I emailed her twice. They should’ve simply said they don’t have a solution right now.

Working well and nice, able to handle the cold weather in Alberta

This product is the best. Great for coldest climates like Canada. Because is a vacuum that purge all the remaining water from the pipe. 100% recommended.keep in mind is a little bit tricky installing on brick or block but not imposible
