Arrowhead Brass 455-08LF 8-Inch Lead-Free Frost-Proof Wall Hydrant
Brand: Arrowhead Brass | SKU: 455-08LF
Product Overview
The Arrowhead Brass 455-08LF provides an outdoor water connection while placing the shutoff point inside the heated portion of the building to help protect the supply line from freezing. This 8-inch standard frost-proof model uses a lead-free brass waterway and dual-threaded inlet for flexible connection options.
Choose this hydrant when the wall depth and piping layout call for an 8-inch 455 Series unit. It is a standard frost-proof hydrant without built-in anti-siphon protection, so confirm local backflow requirements before ordering.

What inlet connections are available?
The 455 Series provides a 1/2-inch female pipe-thread connection inside a 3/4-inch male pipe-thread connection.
Which replacement stem fits this hydrant?
