Merrill MFG CNL7503 No Lead Frost Proof CNL-1000 Series Yard Hydrant, 3/4" Pipe Connection, 1" Galvanized Pipe, 3' Bury Depth, 68.5" Total Length, 68.5"

The handle on this hydrant lifts very easily and has a high quality feel to the gliding movement. I have two other hydrants by another brand that are very hard to lift and the top bolt on both of them broke—my husband and our handyman fixed them so they are functional but still not very easy to use. I definitely did not want another of the same brand. I researched the various options available on Amazon and elsewhere. After reviewing the Merrill website and information about the quality of their products, I decided to spend the extra money. I’m very glad that I did. I can’t speak to longevity since we just installed it this week, but it certainly seems like it will hold up very well. I also like the fact it is made in the USA. My husband had no issues from an installation perspective. I’m ordering another one today.

Easily installed by my inexperienced self. Still working well over a year later.

Very well made and works great! Much better than previous brand.

Seems to be just fine I have not had it through the winter yet so I will update after winter

very well-made hydrant easy to install easy to use purchased five of them great quality

Great yard faucet bought a cheaper one the first time at Menards started leaking underground using unnecessary water

Nice value, very durable. Was a ease to install. The functionality of Faucet is perfect.

Works perfectly! We installed this about 50 feet from our house to have it right at the horse water tubs. I don’t want to deal with frozen hoses or carrying water buckets from the house during winter months. I did add a 3/4 inch hose and there’s no leaks and can quickly fill a 100 gallon trough. I don’t need the hose on there since we can put the water tubs under the hydrant since it’s plenty tall enough. I’m only using a hose right now since I clean the tubs often with this warm weather. I did originally have a very small hose from Walmart on this. It leaked everywhere because the hose was too skinny and this hydrant flows lots of water at once. Opt for the wider hose and you won’t be disappointed!

Used in barn, replaced
