Kansas | Now I will teach you another trick similar to that but you don't have to jack with screwing the hydrant back down.
Take a 5 gallon bucket and cut a hole out in the bottom of it big enough the hydrant bottom will go through. Now of course, the hole at the bottom of the bucket will be to big and allow dirt to fall back in down the space between the hole edge and the hydrant pipe.
Take scrap tin and cut a perfect sized hole for the hydrant pipe. Then slit it to one side so you can flex it and get it slid past the pipe and lay it flat on top of the buckets bottom. The bucket should be upside down in the hole in comparison to regular usage of a bucket. If your horizontal feed in line is causing the bucket to sit an angle then notch it so the bucket will fit down over it.
We have 5 gallon buckets galore to waste. PVC Pipe you have to spend money on. ;-) | |

For you Northeners that deal with cold. Who makes the best water hydrant?
