Do You Need a Frost Free Faucet?

By Eagle Mountain Products 

You will need to purchase a frost free faucet (or hose bib) if you live in a climate that experiences freezing conditions to protect your home and property.  Let Eagle Mountain Products, the official online retailer for Woodford faucets, explain the differences between the various models we offer:

Model 17 – Anti-Siphon Protection

Designed and intended for year-round residential irrigation purposes regardless of outside temperature. This faucet will not rupture from freezing when the valve is shut off and the hose is removed.

Model 19 – Rupture Protection

Designed and intended for year-round residential irrigation purposes regardless of outside temperature. Patented resetting pressure relief valve prevents the faucet casing tube from bursting in freezing conditions even if a hose is unintentionally left connected.

Model 30 - Automatic Draining

Designed and intended for irrigation purposes and designed for residential and light commercial outside water service applications. Includes a 50HA backflow preventer with double-check valves.

Model 22 and Model V22 – Hot and Cold

Designed and intended for year-round hot and cold irrigation and cleaning purposes regardless of outside temperature. Patented resetting pressure relief valve prevents the faucet casing tube from bursting in freezing conditions even if a hose is unintentionally left connected.
