Model 5810
Hinge-Covered Box, Non-Freeze Boxed Ground Hydrants
Corrosion and tamper resistant, the 3/4" hose connection and faucet control of this hydrant are protected inside a hinged bronze lockbox. Engineered for exterior in-ground installation, its valve and water inlet extend below the frost line where a small hole in the valve housing allows any residual water to drain once the valve is closed, preventing rupture of the housing due to freezing conditions. This hydrant is operated by a removable "T" handle key stopping unauthorized use.

No, it will not drain when mounted vertically and will be susceptible to freezing.
