Merrill's Product Catalog: Frost Proof Yard Hydrants
The CNL-1000 Series Yard Hydrant gives year ‘round water service that drains below the frost line once shut off. Only Merrill builds in FIVE exclusive benefits to give you the best value in the industry.
Lever Control* operates by cam principle and pulls straight up on operating rod, provides variable flow from trickle to full flow without lock to hold lever.
Benefit - Variable flow with no lock that rusts in place.
Draw Straps are made of 1040 hot rolled steel which is much harder (Brinell 175/200) and stronger, greatly reduces wear of straps and eliminates side pull on operating rod.
Benefit - Longest operating life.
Stainless Steel Operating Rod* is ground and polished and will not cut out packing and packing nut, like brass rod used by other companies.
Benefit - Best material for longest operating life.
Non-Metallic Nylon Hose Adapter fits standard 3/4" hose fitting.
Benefit - Will not corrode.
Heavy Cast Iron Head with the same design Merrill has used for over fifty years.
Benefit - Time-proven design takes years of abuse.
Pivot Connector with Two Nuts* provides simple positive adjustment and eliminates unreliable set screws used by other companies.
Benefit - Adjustable for years, not like rusting set screw.
No Lead Galvanized Pipe has no exposed threads subject to the weather.
Benefit - No exposed steel on pipe to rust.
One Piece Plunger uses double seal design to assure positive shut-off even when foreign particles are present. Plunger positively opens drain to prevent freezing, and positively closes drain even at slow flow rates.
Benefit - Economical design that still closes drain hole.
Long Life Plunger* is molded with ethylene propylene material that is
self-lubricating and will not bond to no lead brass valve body like rubber plunger used by other companies.
Benefit - Longest operating life in one piece design.
No Lead Brass Double Bypass Valve Body provides a large volume of water and the time-proven design used for over fifty years.
Benefit - High water flow with economical design.
Locking Eye on head and lever allows hydrant to be padlocked shut when not in use.

Swivel Parts* permit withdrawal of moving parts without digging up hydrant. Nothing in head assembly to disconnect or adjust when removing, simply unscrew entire head assembly from galvanized pipe and pull up valve stem with plunger for inspection.
