Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance and frost-proof functionality of the Kemper outdoor faucet. This faucet is designed for single-hole wall mounting.
Installation Requirements:
- Wall Thickness: The faucet is suitable for wall thicknesses between 150 mm and 415 mm. Ensure your wall falls within this range.
- Mounting Method: Single-hole wall mounting.
- Water Connection: Connect to a suitable water supply line. Professional plumbing assistance is recommended for installation.
Installation Steps (General Guidance):
- Determine the desired mounting location on the exterior wall, ensuring it is accessible and allows for proper drainage.
- Drill a hole through the wall at the chosen location, ensuring it is appropriately sized for the faucet's pipe.
- Insert the faucet assembly through the wall from the exterior, ensuring the internal components are correctly positioned within the building.
- Secure the faucet to the wall using appropriate fasteners and the provided mounting plate.
- Connect the internal end of the faucet to your building's water supply using standard plumbing practices. Ensure all connections are watertight.
- Test the faucet for leaks and proper operation.

Operating Instructions
The Kemper frost-proof outdoor faucet is designed for simple and reliable operation.
To Open the Faucet:
- Insert the provided socket key into the faucet's operating mechanism.
- Turn the key counter-clockwise to open the water flow. The flow rate can be adjusted by the degree of rotation.
To Close the Faucet:
- Turn the key clockwise until the water flow stops completely.
- Once the water flow is stopped, the faucet's automatic emptying function will activate. A small amount of water may continue to drip for a few seconds as the internal mechanism drains the remaining water from the pipe to prevent freezing. This is normal operation and indicates the frost-proof feature is working correctly.
- Remove the socket key after closing the faucet.
Maintenance
Due to its frost-proof design, the Kemper 5740301500 faucet requires minimal maintenance. The automatic emptying feature eliminates the need for manual draining during cold weather.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect the faucet for any visible signs of wear, damage, or leaks.
- Cleaning: Clean the exterior of the faucet with a soft cloth and mild detergent as needed to maintain its appearance. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Winterization: No specific winterization steps are required for the faucet itself due to its frost-proof design. However, ensure that the water supply line leading to the faucet inside the building is adequately insulated if it runs through unheated areas.
- Spare Parts: If any components require replacement, contact Kemper customer support or an authorized dealer for genuine spare parts.
