Watts 0723064 Repair Kit

As a technician, you know that a leaking vacuum breaker can compromise the entire automatic draining feature of a Series FHB frost-proof hydrant. The Watts 0723064 Repair Kit (RK-FHB-V) is the specified factory solution for restoring the vent float assembly on both 1/2-inch and 3/4-inch units. This kit focuses on the integral backflow prevention components, providing a direct replacement for worn internal seals and the float mechanism that often fails due to debris or hard water scaling.

By utilizing this lead-free wall hydrant repair kit, you ensure the system maintains its anti-siphon capability, protecting the potable water supply. The components are engineered for the Series FHB wall hydrant vacuum breaker, allowing for a field-serviceable fix without removing the hydrant from the structure. Swapping the bonnet O-ring and vent float from the Watts FHB-V-RK assembly restores the atmospheric vent's seal, preventing water from spraying out of the cap during operation.

Common Questions & Technical Insights:

Will this kit stop my hydrant from dripping at the nozzle?
Usually, a drip at the nozzle indicates a worn seat washer or stem issue. This Watts 0723064 repair kit is designed to fix leaks occurring specifically under the cap of the vacuum breaker or vent assembly.

How do I know if I have a Series FHB model?
Check the casting on the hydrant body or the identification tag. If your hydrant has a built-in vacuum breaker and an automatic draining feature, this RK-FHB-V relief valve kit is likely the correct service part.

Is this compatible with other Watts hydrant series?
This kit is proprietary to the Series FHB models. If you are servicing a Series SC or other variants, the internal float dimensions and O-ring sizes may differ.
