Know Your Depth When Installing a Yard Hydrant


At Eagle Mountain Products, we sell the entire line of the world’s best yard hydrants.  All of our hydrants are manufactured by Woodford and are designed to provide years of service.  In addition they require very little maintenance as the unit is designed to reduce wear on internal parts, and when repairs are needed, they are conveniently done at the head of the hydrant.  If you are considering purchasing a yard hydrant this year, we strongly encourage you to check out the features of our Woodford hydrants.   

One good option is our Woodford R34 frost free yard hydrant that is designed for irrigation purposes and will provide an immediate water flow even in the coldest temperatures.  When properly installed, the hydrant’s shut-off valve is below the frost line, and water in the standpipe drains out of a hole in the valve body.  Once the hydrant is shut-off, and the hose or any other device disconnected, it will drain and not freeze. 

When ordering the Woodford R34, you will select the bury depth of between 1 to 5 feet.  Your bury depth is based on where you live as each region in the country has different frost line bury depths and you can easily locate this information.  In addition you need to know the appropriate depth to dig for installation.  If you watch our video, it walks you through the process of installing a Woodford hydrant.   

Furthermore, we don’t want you to just take our word for it as to the superiority of a Woodford hydrant as compared to the competition, but rather read what a satisfied Woodford hydrant owner says,Love this hydrant!”  He goes on to say the Woodford is so smooth and effortless to use, and notes, “We had four China specials, two are hardly ever used and they're fine, but the two that get used daily have both failed.”  His advice is to get the best right from the start.  Another owner of a Woodford hydrant reports the Woodford is solid and heavy duty, while another customer states he especially likes the adjustable setting function.  Please see our website to learn more about the durable Woodford hydrants and our line of Woodford outdoor faucets. 

Eagle Mountain Products is proud to be the authorized online retailer of the Woodford Manufacturing Company and we carry the entire line of outdoor faucets, yard hydrants and parts.  We also provide customers with lots of DIY information as well as a library of videos on how to install or repair one of our products.  See our website to learn more about our dependable Woodford faucets and hydrants.

Fixing Your Woodford Outdoor Faucet


Eagle Mountain Products is the official online retailer and carries the full line of Woodford outdoor watering devices and accessories.   Since we know virtually everything there is to know about Woodford products, we are also a source for troubleshooting and repairing any one of our faucets or yard hydrants and carry all of the parts to do so.   

For incidence, if your Woodford frost free faucet or hydrant is leaking from the spout when it is turned off, it may be that the valve seat rubber is worn or damaged and needs to be replaced.  Or it could be the retainer screw is loose.  While a simple repair, it is important to do and we have the genuine Woodford replacement parts you need.  After you turn off the water, please follow our online instructions.   

Another problem can be water leaking from around the operating stem when the faucet is on.  In this case the leak can generally be fixed by tightening the hex packing nut.  Without removing any parts, tighten the packing nut behind the handle until snug and the leaking stops.  If it is still leaking, it may require a new EPDM packing that is readily available at Eagle Mountain.   

Leaks can also be caused by a worn out vacuum breaker.  Woodford’s durable anti-siphon vacuum breakers are designed to protect your hose connection from contamination, and we have models intended for use in freezing temperatures.  You may want to consider our exclusive Woodford 50H Series that protects from splash-back and is the first ASSE 1052 approved automatic draining high-flow double-check backflow preventer.   It is available in a choice of brass or chrome and 1/2" or 3/4" threads.  Please visit our website to view our full selection of outdoor faucets, hydrants, upgrade kits and repair parts.

A Frost Free Faucet is Uniquely Designed and Installed


You may be aware that if you live in an area with freezing temperatures, you need a frost free faucet but you may not know how one works.   

Before frost free faucets, it was common for faucets in cold climates to rupture when water froze inside the faucet tube.  The problem occurs when outside temperatures begin to warm and water in the pipe is unable to drain out around the expanding ice blockage, which causes the water pressure to mount and the pipe to burst. 

The difference in installation for a frost free faucet is that it is installed with a downward pitch toward the nozzle in order to facilitate water draining completely out of the faucet and reducing the problem of water building up inside the tube.  Hoses must not be left attached to the faucet as this prevents the water from draining.   

For help installing, watch Eagle Mountain Products step-by-step video on how to properly install a frost free faucet.  Please visit Eagle Mountain Products website to view our video library and the full line of Woodford outdoor faucets and accessories.  

Eagle Mountain Products is proud to be the authorized online retailer of the Woodford Manufacturing Company.  In addition to our products, we offer customers a full service website loaded with information and instructional videos on how to repair or replace an outdoor faucet or yard hydrant.  You can purchase with confidence any one of our exceptional, exclusive products from Woodford Manufacturing Company and Watco Manufacturing Company.
