Abstract
An improved outdoor hydrant-type water faucet comprised of a water control connector at the top section of a hydrant-type standpipe equipped with a water control connector adjustment fixture and a downwardly extending coupling rod at the bottom section of the hydrant-type standpipe, and a water input valve that opens and closes to vary flow volume. The feature of the present invention is that the hydrant-type standpipe bottom section consists of a wide-mouth sleeve section that provides for the installation therein of a higher specification water input valve having a greater flow volume rating, thereby achieving an increase in water output volume and a reduction in blockage, effectively relieving ice formation and consequent water obstruction due to low temperature outdoors.
