We have an older simmons model water hydrant and the head cracked. How do I know what size to replace it with? Do I dig up the old one and replace?

If you know the model number you can go to the Simmons web site and reference the length. Also if just the head is cracked, you can replace just the head without digging up the hydrant. I replaced the head on one of mine where a relative left a hose on it causing it to freeze and crack.

The head ours cracked over the winter and needed to be replaced, also. Since we had the water cut off to it anyway, we did have our handyman dig it up to check the depth because, like you, I had absolutely no idea...

Your only other option is to replace the entire hose bib; a pain if it's a frost proof version. They can be had at any home center complete for less than you paid for the anti-siphon unit you are referencing. The replacement project isn't a big deal...all you need is a wrench and some Teflon tape plus whichever bib you need to buy. Good luck. I too have had a few failures with this model!

If you use it alot go to your local industrial hose shop and have one made. Take them the old one. They can probably use a higher quality hose as well

The sweeper is at another location that I won't be able to get to till Thursday. I will try to find the old one and measure it. The new one was an exact match. It was very easy to replace. Found it on Amazon for around $28.00.

That replacement part fits many old St Louis style that is the one that gets bigger at the top and has scalloped sides. I don't know by each model. If you can send me a picture through this cruciate or give me a verbal description. I may be able to tell you. As I say that part is the same on a lot of the old Warings. If you haven't taken it a part till we figure it out. if you have there are a few things to watch for. I can walk you through it or send me your e-mail. Instructions do help If you do order it they will off you a big O ring for about a dollar. I couldn't find anywhere to put it so I still have it. Look at your unit and see if there is a 3 inch rubber grommet on it anywhere and if you try it make sure you put it on the way it is together like when you received it.

I really can't...but don't trust them..they change it every time it seems. Order with care! We used duct tape to re-fix our oldone cause the replacement wouldn't fit. .....Ouch!

We bought the UH70800 wind tunnel 2 and this hose did not fit and had to be returned. You could either take a look at the ends in the picture and decide or take a chance and order it returning it if necessary as I did or you could maybe contact the seller to ask. I agree the original hose is too darn short.

the man I hired took old one out and put new one in the same hole. He gave me measurements to buy it. Sorry I don't remember the size.

I just replaced mine. It's fairly difficult, but I sourced the hose from ebay. Look for AIR TOOL PUMP REPLACEMENT 18 INCHES PORTABLE. It cost me about $7

Sorry, but the new model will not fit into the base of the old one. There is just a small change in the new one that keeps it from fitting. But it is an easy job to replace the base, provided of course that you shut off the power at the breaker panel. I replace one of the bases that was 15 feet from the floor. That was the hardest one, since I had to use an extension ladder, not a nice solid step ladder. Good luck.

I had my handyman trim it to size. I like being able to just rinse it out and replace it. saves money.

Unscrew the old head and screw in the new one. You might need to put in a provided washer etc. depending on your situation. I am so happy with this new shower filter. I can feel the difference between the old one and the Sprite.

RVGRemove the handle and take it to a Home Depot or equivalent and ask for replacement. Delta guarantee their units for life.I didn't know this and bought a part that did not fit. I took it in, they gave me a new replacement part. Try this.Al

this like the other person that responded on the 10th, it is apparently for the old model, which is the one that I have, return them and order the correct one for your fountain. Like the other person who responded, the older one is nicer and will last for years. Mine which is the older one has lasted, with the exception of the pumps and the dome, probably about 7 years or more.

I recently replaced mine - it was a chair I bought 2 years ago from Walmart. The toughest part was removing the old cylinder. Cylinder sizes seem to be standard - it fit my older chair like a glove. The lift seemed slightly lower than the original cylinder.

I haven't had to do this. But I'd go to my friendly neighborhood hardware store with a section of hose that I'd cut off, and the measurements of the hose and ask for a replacement. Probably the same as RV hoses...

I have one of the old style waterers & replaced a cracked bottle with a household bottle but it was 3 gal size not 5 gallon, it has worked fine
