    When heating the hydrant head for removal be sure and heat the top (female) threads of the hydrant. Not the galvanized pipe. You want the top part to expand as it heats... hence the ease of removal.

    I wished you had made this video six years ago. I did a replacement kit on ours right after we had moved in and I was a little scared to break into outdoor plumbing world. It all worked out well but this series will help out a lot of people. 8 feet down is a long way down... props for using a shovel!!! Nice job!

    Always has to be something and it can never be the easiest fix. Good luck with the repair.

      lol, isn't that the truth. Guess life likes to test and push you to improve.

    Sorry to hear it wasn't the easy fix. Good video as always. God bless.

    I'm really enjoying this series so far, thank you, which is nicely edited with a good balance of action and explanation. I hope the fix once you've dug down proves to be an easy one. Oh, and not a cheapskate, just sensibly frugal with a good work ethic! :)

    It is super important to add a non-petroleum base lubricant such as silicone grease to the plunger.

    5 Foot frost line! Wow. Great video. It's not not really labor if you can take your time and enjoy what your doing. And saves $$ 👍🏻💪🏻

    Excellent video. Sorry to hear that you had to dig it out. My guess is the connection rusted out. Good luck with the rest of the repair. Looking forward to that video. Thanks for sharing.

    Guess I'm a cheep skate too lol good to start with the cheapest and work up from there. If you need a new one save the old for parts 👍👊

    I could hear a hiss from mine so I installed a shut-off in the house. Glad I did because when I turned it on this year, water was squirting out everywhere. I went straight to the digging down because I forgot how deep it was though fortunately only about 3 ft here. I'm going to fix up the hydrant and bench test it then see if everything is good after the install before I fill in the hole.
    I wonder how long these rubber parts are actually supposed to last and whether they could be replaced with a better material.

    Bummer that the repair kit did not work out. Man that handle was on there good! Good luck with the rest of it

    Fantastic video fella !! It's a shame the new part did not fix the problem, hay ho !! Can't wait to see the next one now so hopefully we get to see if you fixed it or you had to buy a new pump !! Thanks for sharing

    I have a leak at the handle on mine and this was good motivation to stop ignoring it.

    Is the clayton mark plunger universal for all clayton mark hydrants ?

  • @catherinemardosa309
    @catherinemardosa309 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    When you first started taking the head off you mentioned the importance of not twisting the pipe. The pipe on my leaking hydrant twists easily. Could you explain more thoroughly why that's a problem?

    how do I know if it's the plunger or the o-rings ?

    I just had one repaired. Loose horse in barn and blanket vs hydrant! The connection is wet to the touch. Not leaking,,don't see drips. I dry it and later is feels damp. Is this a concern?
