The IOWA® Yard Hydrant

As the official online retailer for Woodford Manufacturing, Eagle Mountain Products is proud of the enduring popularity of our Iowa Yard Hydrants. Even though we sell many quality products, the Iowa hydrant holds a special place in the company.

The Woodford Manufacturing Company began in 1929 when J.C. Woodford bought a company and the manufacturing rights for the IOWA® Yard Hydrant. This marked the beginning of the Woodford Hydrant Company. In 1955 the company expanded into making commercial wall hydrants, and in 1963, they introduced their first residential faucet.

Here is some basic information about our IOWA hydrants:

• The IOWA® Model Y34 hydrant is our most popular yard hydrant and allows for an immediate water flow even in sub-zero temperatures. Variable-flow, long-life packing, and a rod guide that eliminates side pull on the rod are just a few of the features offered.

• The IOWA® Model Y1 hydrant also provides an immediate water flow even in sub-zero temperatures. A few of the Y1 features include a variable-flow plunger; long-life packing and a rod guide that eliminates side pull on the rod.     

Even though Woodford has been manufacturing the IOWA® hydrant since 1929, and many improvements have been made through the years, all parts are interchangeable. An owner of an IOWA hydrant is able to make all repairs from the top of the unit without having to remove the hydrant from the ground.
