AquorHouse Hydrant V1+ Frost Free Outdoor Garden Faucet with Quick-Connect and Anti-Siphon, 10 inch, Slate Gray Polymer

This item was really easy to install yourself and easy to use. Works great. For your install make sure you don't buy one that is too long. If you follow what I'm saying the install is easy. If you don't follow and make the same mistakes i dud it could be more of a pain in the .....This is hoe I di it in case you want to know.Measure from the spigot base to the first bend of your pipe. (If your pipe is straight from the spigot and stays straight for a number of feet then thats even better get the longest one) if not the measurement doesnt have to be very accurate. You just have to make sure you buy one that will go though the wall and os shorter then your pipe before it bends. (of course you can put it in no matter what but for easy easy easy this is the way)This was the first mistake that I made. If you are ordering the 6 inch one it's actually 8 inches long. Add 2 inches in over all length to the item and then add about an inch and a half for your shark Bite ( which I'll get to) so this means if you measure the length from your outside spigot base to the first bend in your pipe, Say it is 10 inches then you want to order the 6 inch one. To be safe add 4 inches to the length for proper fitThis is exactly what I did and it was easy. My pipe was 10 so I got the 6 inch one.1 Shut off the water.2 Unscrew spigot3 Get a pipe cutter and cut pipe as close to the outside wall as close as you can. ( you may have to use a hacksaw)4 widen hole in the wall because typically the aquar was wider than ither spigots i had ) widen hole of needed using a drill and hole saw5 put your sharkbite onto the aquar with pipe tape and tighten. ( if you don't know about these sharkbites you can get them any home improvement store like lowes , home depot they snap into your pipe and you dont need to solder (sodder) a pipe or use clamping tools. If you look at my pictures you will see what one looks like)6 Put the aquarium spigot in the hole and see what length it is to your pipe. Mark your pipe where the end of the sharkbite is ( the sharkbite goes in less than a quarter-inch so give yourself a but extra. And then cut ( use liquid paper or any marker you can see on a pipe.)7 cut your pipe again, remember you can't add but always take away.8 put aquar and the sharkbite , that you already put together into the hole and click your pipe in. ( you will literally hear a click. )8 screw the aquar to your wall on the out side and you are done. Don't forget the plastic cover and angling piece they give you so your aquarium drains properly.I've done three of these so far and I can do it less than a half hour now. This thing is made great and looks and operates fantastic. Already multiple friends have bought and used them . Everyone loves them and there is nothing to say about them that isn't good

My old "frost free" garden hose hydrant had frozen and cracked over the winter. It was spraying water out from underneath the siding when I turned the water on. In a panic, I called a plumber, but they said it would be a couple of days before they could get to me.I remembered seeing a YouTube video of this product a little while ago. I spent a about an hour looking at how to install this thing before I decided I could tackle this project on my own. I canceled my service call with my plumber, ordered this, hoping that everything would go smoothly with my limited plumbing knowledge.I shut off the water to the bib, and cut off the old hydrant. Everything looked straight forward enough.. I picked up a 1/2 inch male copper pipe adapter, a 2 foot section of 1/2 inch copper pipe, and a 1/2 inch quick connect coupling from the local hardware store.I cut about 2 inches from the new copper pipe, and soldered the male copper pipe adapter to it. Then I widened the hole where my old hydrant was at, to 1.5 inches with a hole saw. The trick to widening an existing hole with a hole saw is to use a section of the wooden dowel in the existing hole, as a guide, so your hole saw doesn't skip all over the place. Then I put plumber's tape on the adapter/pipe section I had just soldered, and screwed it onto the Aquor unit.I put the unit in the wall first but did not screw it down yet. It's much easier to work with the pipes when the unit hasn't been screwed down yet, so I went and used the quick connect coupling to connect the unto to my plumbing. I could have soldered the connection together but there's a method to my madness of using the quick connect coupling. Using the coupling will allow me to take apart the Aquor unit, if I ever need to replace the O Rings inside it. Quick connects allow you to twist the pipes in it, if I had soldered the connection together, I would have to unscrew the unit from the wall to replace the O rings.Once I was confident everything was hooked up right, I prayed to baby Jesus, for everything to not leaked, and cranked on the water. To my surprise, everything was perfect. Not a drop of water in sight.I went outside, realigned the unit, put the cover and wedge behind the unit and screwed everything in place. Total cost of materials other then the unit was about $21. It was took me about 1 hour to complete the total installation, not counting the time it took me to go to the hardware store. I am just an average homeowner with no plumbing experience besides soldering a couple of pipes that had frozen before.The product itself is built nicely and looks like it should last a lifetime with proper maintenance. The plastic adapter that you screw into your garden hose is made with a super durable polymer. I don't know exactly what it is, but it's not your typical plastic. I can see it holding up to 5-6 seasons of use.If you have been wanting to replace your old garden hose, or if you need to replace it because of a failure, go for it. This product is dead simple to install, anyone can do it.

Big fan of this thing. No more hilarious squeeeeeeek sound and turning a broken ugly uncomfortable knobs for 5 minutes. And no more hoping and praying your stuff doesn't freeze.Instant, quiet, modern looking, good flow.Now to pay off my 2nd I took to pay for it.

I bought 2 of these, different lengths and had them professionally installed. While I can’t provide insight to the ease of installation, I can say that my plumber had no problems installing and this was the first time he’d seen one of these AND I love the ease of use. I also like not having a spigot visible, though that wasn’t my main reason for buying. The only downfall that I’ve experienced is that you can’t just turn on the tap and get water without a hose being attached. So if you used to say filling a bucket straight the tap, that convenience is taken away. Other than that, would highly recommend

Easy to install, easy to use. I worry about how long the plastic fitting will last, as it is already showing scratch marks after being used three times.

Looks aren't everything but this thing sure does look nice compared to the old spigot setup I had. The flush mount is very attractive and it's nice knowing my kids won't be able to access the hose without parental help to push in the connector. Would recommend this product, it works great!

Drilling the hole and installing this faucet was very easy. This replaced a standard style spigot and it looks great. Very clean. I also love the simplicity of twisting the hose right into the faucet. Will definitely be replacing my other spigots with these.

Love this hose connector. Is easier to install than I thought and very nice to use. Good work

This product is truly first class. It is very well constructed using stainless steel and works exactly well and it great to look at. Everyone that has seen it is totally WOWED!You got to get one, sone, amazing.

How easy it is to install

Easy to install and looks great brilliant product with no tap sticking out just push in hose and use very easy to fill up the hottub

This is a great idea. I live in a tiny home year round. This spigot is great. Can be used in the winter.
