What happens here

Carefully guide the plunger rod down into the riser pipe. Begin screwing the new hydrant head onto the prepared threads by hand to avoid cross-threading. Once it is hand-tight, use two pipe wrenches—one as a backup—to fully tighten the head onto the pipe until it is secure and properly oriented.

Goal: Attach new head to pipe
