Installation, Operation & Maintenance Instructions for
C-144 / C-244 Series Freezeless Wall Hydrants
Thank you for purchasing the Prier C-144 / C-244, the finest quality Freezeless W all Hydrant available.
Your C-144 / C-244 will provide you years of dependable service with little or no maintenance.
Installation:
Installation procedures may vary slightly depending on the Seat Option purchased and the installation
inlet options. Prier Freezeless W all Hydrants are available in the following seat options:
D Style 1/2” MPT x 1/2” Female Sweat
F Style 3/4” Female Sweat
T Style 3/4” MPT x 1/2” FPT
X Style 1/2” Pex Adapter
1 Determine the location for installation of the Freezeless Wall Hydrant. Be assured there is ad-
equate work room in the interior of the structure for securing the Freezeless W all Hydrant to the
plumbing piping. Bore a 1 1/8” Diameter hole through the wall in the desired position for the
installation of the Freezeless W all Hydrant.
2 All Freezeless W all Hydrants require a slight downward pitch to aid on the draining of the hydrant
once the product is turned to the “off” position. Prier has machined an appropriate pitch into the
casted backflange to assist & help assure that a proper drainage pitch results after installation
3 Position the spout of the Freezeless W all Hydrant in the downward position. From the interior of
the structure utilize the spout aligning lug of the seat of the Freezeless W all Hydrant. When the
lug is pointed down, the spout is oriented in the proper position on the outside of the structure.
4 If planning to solder the connection (D or F Style Seats) to prevent seat damage from heat, be
certain the Freezeless W all Hydrant is in the fully open position. Overheating could cause internal
damage to the Freezeless W all Hydrant
5 Connect the water supply piping to the Freezeless W all Hydrant as desired.
6 After the water supply connection is made, secure the Freezeless Wall Hydrant to the structure
using appropriate fasteners drive of screwed into the structure through the two mounting holes on
the casted back flange.
Operation:
Operation of the C-144 / C-244 Freezeless Wall Hydrant is a simple process. Water flows through the
Freezeless W all Hydrant after turning the handle (or operating key of C-244 Style) in the counter-clockwise “on” or “open” direction. Turn off the Freezeless Wall Hydrant, turn the handle in the clockwise
“off” or “closed” direction.

The Freezeless W all Hydrant will drain for a few moments (the Freezeless Hydrant shuts off inside the structure). If
a few moments after shutoff the dripping persists, close the valve more tightly by turning the handle more tighter . Be
careful not to overtighten the valve.
The Prier C-144 / C-244 Freezeless W all Hydrant incorporates an integral atmospheric anti-siphon vacuum breaker
that in the rare occurrence of a back-siphonage opens to the atmosphere, preventing contamination of the water supply .
As well as an atmospheric vacuum breaker, the C-144 Freezeless W all Hydrant incorporates a backflow preventor
that operates as a check valve in the rare case that water is forced backwards, into the valve. The Backflow
Preventor has been tested to 125 PSI pressure.
To prevent damage to the hydrant, during freezing weather, remove any attached hose that may
trap water inside the valve! The trapped water will freeze, expand and damage the hydrant!
Maintenance:
The Prier C-144 / C-244 Freezeless W all Hydrant leaves the factory fully air tested and operational. It is treated
with an FDA approved lubrication.
The Prier C-144 / C-244 Freezeless W all Hydrant requires no scheduled maintenance to provide long life.
