We do not worry about freezing, but we still use the ones with the bottom disc. It prevents "geysers" when someone snaps the barrels off, although it does ruin some good video footage.

A few years back I was installing a dry barrel hydrant and the truck driver tossed it off the truck and the check valve break off portion broke and that stainless steel rod shot half way through a work truck. It's made to stop water quick.
