A Hydrant Assist Kit is a yard hydrant encasement system which, once installed, allows a hydrant to be repaired or replaced from the surface—no need for digging or excavating. There is a HAK available to fit any yard hydrant manufactured.
View the installation instructions for our HAK models. A schematic representation, including a parts list, is also available for each model.
HAK 750
HAK 750 fits any standard hydrant with a 3/4" female pipe thread and a 1" stand pipe.
A 750 will fit these models:
Woodford: Y34, W34, X34, R34
Merril: Anyflow 3/4" or Anyflow Brass 3/4", C-1000 and C1000 Brass, M-2000, E-5000, CNL-1000, Y1 & Y2
Campbell
Simmons
This size will most likely fit any hydrant bought at a hardware store, as well as hydrants that are manufactured in other countries.
Because there is a 1" inlet hole on every model, it can supply 30 gpm even with a 3/4" outlet hole. The brass coupler comes with a 1" female thread and finishes with a 3/4" male thread for the hydrant or waterline.
The HAK 750 is heat tape compatible with both Frost Tek and Easy Heat systems.
The HAK 750 shares all the features of the other Hydrant Assist Kits.
The HAK 1000R is designed for use with Ritchie Fountains, and also works on Ritchie Hydrants (which have been discontinued). It will also work with these models of hydrants:
Merrill: C-1000 Hi-Cap, R6000
