What stem length hydrant should I order?
The correct hydrant length is determined by your climate zone and exterior wall thickness.
Warm Climates - No frost protection required
0” Stem Length
For warm climates, the water supply connection can be made inside the wall framing. We recommend a PEX service loop connection for easy maintenance and future serviceability.
Cold Climates - Frost Proof
8” Total Length (7” stem length to water shut off point)
12” Total Length (10” stem length to water shut off point)
Select a stem length long enough to extend into the interior heated envelope of the building. A supply connection can be made in a basement, crawl space or below a floor joist.
Installing the hydrant into a connecting interior t-wall is another great option as now a longer stem length and greater frost protection can be achieved without having to make the supply connection inside the interior finished space of the building.
Overall lengths: 1¾" for the 0" stem, 9¾" for the 8" stem, and 13¾" for the 12" stem.
Need a custom length? Your plumber can fabricate a connection nipple from copper pipe cut to length — with female and male threads soldered on — to link to a drop ear 90, or simply use a PEX service loop.
What are the inlet and outlet connections?
Inlet: ½" NPT (male). Outlet: ¾" GHT — compatible with all standard garden hoses.
Do I need to remove my hose in winter?
Yes. Always remove the hose in freezing conditions. The Kula Hydrant self-drains when the valve is closed and the hose is removed — a hose left attached traps water in the stem and can cause it to burst. The 8" and 12" stems shut off the water supply inside the heated envelope of the building, so no water is left exposed to freezing temperatures.
Year-round, remove sprinklers, timers, and splitters when not in use — the outlet should not be under continuous water pressure for more than 12 hours.
Why is the inlet angled?
Every stem length features a 1.2° slope (¼" per foot) on the inlet for positive drainage. The wall plate and body sit plumb to the wall. When connecting to a rigid drop ear 90, a slight shim aligns the slope; a PEX service loop requires no shim.
Can I install the Kula Hydrant myself, or do I need a plumber?
Installation is comparable to a standard hose bib and is straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic plumbing. Rough in with a PEX service loop or a drop ear 90 — a PEX loop requires no adjustment, while a drop ear 90 needs a slight shim at the connection point. Always install per local plumbing codes; when in doubt, we recommend a licensed plumber.
What tools do I need for installation?
An adjustable wrench for the supply connection, plumber's tape, a screwdriver or drill driver for the two mounting screws, and a small level to confirm final alignment.
Can I install the Kula Hydrant on angled siding?
Yes. The Kula Hydrant is designed for flat, plumb surfaces — for angled cladding, our Hydrant Wedge (sold separately) slides over the inlet stem to provide a plumb mounting surface.
What is a vacuum breaker and why does it matter?
A vacuum breaker prevents backflow — it stops water in your hose from siphoning back into your home's drinking water supply. The Kula Hydrant features an integrated anti-siphon atmospheric vacuum breaker and one-way check valve, certified to ASSE 1019-C. No add-on vacuum breaker is required.
What is the flow rate and pressure rating?
6 GPM at 25 PSI, with a maximum operating pressure of 125 PSI.

Finish
Can the Kula Hydrant be installed near the ocean? Can it survive in the snow?
The Kula Hydrant was designed and engineered specifically to withstand installations in harsh coastal climates with salty air and sub-zero mountain winters.
The Hydrant is built from solid forged brass and features a living finish that will age and patina organically.
All internal hardware and components are made from brass, stainless steel, and copper.
How will the natural patina finish age over time?
Our Brushed Dark Bronze patina living finish will stay true to its original color. The finish is produced with an accelerated aging process that darkens and oxidizes the brass. A light coat of mineral oil every year will preserve the deep rich black metal finish.
Our Aged Brass patina finish will react organically with the natural environment. Over time, it will transition into a darker bronze tone. In certain coastal environments the Aged Brass finish may develop a greenish blue patina.
Does the Kula Hydrant match the Kula Cover finishes?
Yes. The Kula Hydrant is available in Brushed Dark Bronze and Brushed Brass — the same living finishes as the Kula Cover collection.
Warranty + Care
What is the warranty?
The Kula Hydrant is covered by our Lifetime Warranty.
What is the Kula Hydrant made of?
Solid brass, copper, and stainless steel.
Does the valve require maintenance?
No. The ¼-turn ceramic disk cartridge is designed for a maintenance-free service life.
