Review on ๐Ÿ’ง Mueller Industries 104-829HC 12-inch Wall Hydrant with 1/2-inch Connection by Jyothish Pillai

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Quality you can see and feel at work before and after installation.

I have bought and installed 3 of these in the last 6 years and the oldest still works as well as the newest. I like the 1/4 turn function and smooth operation. My well water is of a very corrosive quality and this causes inferior silicones to fail within a few years, but I am happy to report that this does not happen with this product! However, there were two problems: First, this product seems difficult to find when entering simple search terms on Google or Revain. Don't ask me why Second, Muller's product was about 7/8 inches longer than the faulty product I removed, so I had to make some installation modifications to accommodate this; It's actually quite simple, as I simply pre-soldered the 2" and 1/8" pipe to the product, removed the old bend on the supply line from the side of the house and quickly put on the Sharkbite bend. Then you can easily insert a new drive unit and set the correct rotation, done! couldn't be happier!
