The 54514NL is a lead-free, frost-proof yard hydrant engineered for reliable outdoor water access where freeze protection is required. Its shut-off valve sits below the frost line to prevent freezing and prolong service life, making it well suited for irrigation, livestock, and general outdoor use.

  • Freeze protection: Shut-off valve located below the frost line for dependable winter performance and reduced winterization needs.
  • Bury depth & dimensions: Designed for a 4' bury depth with an overall length of 78" for correct installation and service access.
  • Durable construction: Cast brass valve body with integral valve seat, heavy cast-iron head and a galvanized steel, corrosion-resistant stand-pipe.
  • Connection & flow: 3/4" FPT connection (nominal 3/4" x 3/4") with double-bypass bottom valve for superior flow and reduced debris blockage; rated at approximately 45 GPM at 50 PSI.
  • Sealing & components: Buna‑N rubber plunger with a solid brass core provides a reliable, replaceable sealing surface.
  • Performance & standards: Lead-free design, pressure-rated for typical residential/commercial use (manufacturer listings commonly state an 80 PSI rating) and manufactured to recognized plumbing standards.
  • Serviceability: Repair parts and a YRK1 repair kit are available for the 5451 series to simplify maintenance and extend service life.

Packaged in an individual heavyweight carton for secure shipping, the 54514NL balances durable materials and straightforward serviceability for long-term outdoor use. Always follow local codes and manufacturer installation instructions when setting bury depth and making pressure connections; use compatible threaded fittings for the 3/4" FPT connection and flush the line before first use.
