[QUOTE="Jalopy, post: 506679, member: 7856"] Is the Frost Free Hydrant in a vertical tile with space around it? if so it may just be frozen at the very bottom where the water line makes the elbow to come up and a five gallon dosing of hot water down the tile may thaw it out. If is surrounded by soil is it possible to remove the head of the hydrant and fill the standpipe with hot water? I have had better luck using hot water than heaters over the years. Of course I am assuming that your pipe is buried below the frost line in your area. I hope for your sake you don't have to dig it up. Good Luck with getting it thawed. [/QUOTE]
