AquorHouse Hydrant V2+ Frost-Free Outdoor Garden Faucet with Quick Connect and Anti-Siphon, 8 inch, Slate Gray Polymer

A great product! I have a leaky outdoor faucet for years and have been meaning to replace it. So I was in the market for a new one. I looked around, starting at home depot (my go to place for everything DIY), and watched some howto videos on Youtube and that's how I discovered this product. I took some time to learn about it and how to install it, etc. Read the reviews on here like everyone else. In the end, I decided to purchase this instead of the typical outdoor faucet and got it installed.Some quick highlights.Great quality so it's huge upgrade from what I have previously had (probably more than 20+ years old).Installation is simple (I ran into an issue and will explain down below so it can help you if you decide on buying it).It works well and as expected (some tips on how to use it down below).Installation tips.Use the installation guide and draw the area that needs to be drilled. Make sure to align it properly.Use the proper size bit (I didn't have the correct size and took longer than what I would have like) - don't make my mistake.Predrill the holes for the screwsUse Sharkbite coupling - very easy to use and work nicely with this product. It supports copper and other pipe types. I used PEX and highly recommended.** Don't use ** check valve coupling with this, just use regular coupling one. I ran into this problem and took a long time for me to figure out - the problem with it is because the hydrant valve would "lock" as I have been told by Aquor customer support/service (who was very helpful and was able to help me quickly - took less than 5 minutes for that call).Useful tips.You may want to buy other Aquor related products such as another type of nozzle.when using the nozzle, you do need to give it a push and turn (may be easy for men but not for women or kids or elderly).

We purchased three of these hydrants to use on our metal building. Since we have livestock on the property that likes to rub up against pointy things to scratch their skin, it was important to have a smooth surface to our water spigots so the animals wouldn't break any piping (they've already destroyed the tail light on our trailer, the stinkers).The Aquor is extremely well built and feels like a tank. definitely NOT your run-of-the-mill orange/blue box cheapie. Yes, it's expensive. It's also worth it. Looks great and feels like a million bucks. The welds are beautiful and the whole product feels like it will last forever.The only tiny niggle I have with it is that I could not use the cheaper wood/siding screws that came in the box. We have a metal building with 12 gauge steel sides and I had to get stainless bolts with heads that fit the holes on the mounting plate, as well as washers and nylock nuts for the inside. Not a huge deal but it added some time. The good news is that now the thing feels solid and doesn't rock in place in the wall.Only other thing I'll say is that whatever adhesive they use for the mounting plate is extremely sticky. I couldn't get some of the white sticker residue off of our black siding and now it looks messy and gross. Not sure how I'm going to manage that. If you have brick siding it probably won't be a problem.Overall, would definitely buy again. It cost a couple hundred per hose bib for my plumber to install each bib, so I figured getting a quality one that'll never have to be revisited is the thing to do. It's also nice that all of the seals are serviceable from the outside in case anything ever needs to be replaced.There's definitely a market on the "high end" of the price spectrum for products that spare no expense getting the job done right. Given the increasing complexity of our lives as well as the cost and hassle of replacing any of the (growing) number of cheap devices around us when they fail. I'd happily pay 2 or 3x (or more) for a "lifetime" product that is a pleasure to use and that I won't ever have to worry about again. The Aquor hose bibs seem to be built to that standard. I hope I'm right!

Installed today to replace our old leaky woodford spigot. Love how it looks and operates! Not hard to install. Do be aware the the V2 that I purchased has a lower section for the anti-freeze run-off, that requires a hole roughly twice the size as a standard spigot. Other than that I really like everything about this unit.I will see how it holds up - but currently very happy with my purchase

I loved the aquor faucet just push in the nozzle and turn and the water flows out twist and turn opposite direction and the water is off,durable and easy to use,I love it

Bought this product over a year ago to install on the side of the house where our driveway is tight to the house. Well someone hit the old hose bid that was sticking out, so now this flush mount system replaced it. Perfect solution. Was very easy to install, great instructions, and guides. This is a top quality professional quality item. Simple, basic, and made to last. Would highly recommend this brand.
