In this Steve's Garage video I install an Aquor House Hydrant V2+ on my brick home. This video could be used for a non-brick house, but I cover a lot of brick-specific steps that wouldn't be necessary on a on a house with vinyl siding and wood sheathing. Aquor says the House Hydrant V2+ is meant for new construction and not retrofitting, but with some time and the right tools it's completely possible to retrofit an Aquor V2+ into your existing brick home.

I've had an Aquor House Hydrant on the front of my house for 2 years and loved it, so I replaced my rear hose spigot with one as well. The Aquor V2+ is by no means for everyone, but I feel it's the ideal solution for my house. I wanted something clean, low profile, and easy to use. The Aquor V2+ checks all those boxes, and is even frost free!

Whenever you're cutting a hole in your house, installing plumbing, or altering the structure, please be careful and aware of any local codes or ordinances. I don't cover any of that, and assume no responsibility for errors made.

I hope you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe!

  • @BrentLagerman
    this was extremely helpful, Aquor's vids don't cover how to install in brick. Thanks!
  • @cashwalcome8576
    This is a fantastic install video. Thank you for your attention to detail.
  • @sailorloki
    Thank you for adding this video. I’m planning to get one of these to replace my old outdoor spigot. Love the concept and idea of these with the vacuum break and flush mount.
  • @thenexthobby
    Nice video. I’d like to hear more about why you prefer the vacuum break to be in the device instead of in the hose attachment … seems those would be easier to replace as needed. Then again, no faucet is forever. And did you consider adding a bracket inside, to help support it?
  • @jamesdelgado2009
    Nice tutorial. I am planning a brick face install similar to yours and I like the details you provided in your video. Your brick seems to be not the traditional size vertically, so I am thinking I won't have an issue with the alignment of the mounting holes lining up with my mortar joints but in the brick instead. I could be wrong but if I do, I plan to epoxy the heck out of them and not have any chance of crumbling mortar affecting the soundness of the hydrant mount 5-10 years from now after constant usage and jostling of hoes against the hydrant.
  • @jessicalyna7030
    How is this hydrant holding up? Do you have leaks? We have 3 on a new build brick house. Doesn't seem like they were installed correctly. We've have nothing but problems. Getting ready to replace w/an old spicket, but thought I would look into fixing them first.

    So again, not for use where the water line is IN a wall.
