DIY Project on deck

[Jay D in Jersey]

Pun intended...my next project is to install a hose hydrant on our deck at the beach house. I have everything I need to do so. It's overdue and will make life easier. My wife has quite a few plants, palms, etc...and watering them is a hassle.
I will be drilling through the siding and sheathing to access the kitchen sink supply line. A few Sharkbite fittings and some Pex along with some spray foam insulation...

Here's the hydrant I went with. It's flush fit.

Anyone have one of these installed?
I received it and it's extremely good quality.

Following this thread. We will soon be adding a hose bib to another side of our house to help with watering. I was thinking about putting in a traditional hose bib, but this looks pretty slick. I'd love to see the pictures of your progress if you don't mind.

Sure. I plan on starting on it Thurs. or Friday. I actually bought it from Home Depot...there are several lengths. I got a 10" one which is likely overkill but no problem.
I have limited space to work with as the connections will be made under the kitchen sink. But i can probably move it down 6"-8" on one side. Run into the dishwasher on the other.

Do you have or require an anti siphon breaker?

Very cool.

Good luck on it. Not my cup of tea. Just gimme a regular bib. You can easily repair if needed, all hoses fit. That new stuff to me is for the birds

The other hose bibs which are downstairs in the outdoor shower do not have anti-siphon. The anti-siphon is built into the insert and twist vacuum breaker which is included but i bought one with an on/off valve. Its got the anti-siphon built in.

Its got all standard size fittings. A regular bib would catch peoples legs, damage my surfboards

It also installs through the wall at a slight upward angle so it self drains when you remove the plastic vacuum breaker/hose fitting. I imagine that's the incorporated freeze protection.

I remember seeing one of those being ins on “This Old House” a few years back, looked nice for exactly the reasons you mention!

I've seen them on commercial jobs along the sidewalk where they are looking out for pedestrians. ( lawsuits)
One problem is the connection sticks straight out, and can snap off if your not careful.

That's true...but for our purposes a non-issue.
