How to Install a Woodford Faucet

Are you in the market for a new outside faucet and would like to get the best value for your dollar? Eagle Mountain Products would like to introduce you to a quality Woodford frost free faucet that provides safe, year-round water regardless of the outside temperature. We carry the entire line of Woodford faucets as well as yard hydrants, wall hydrants, and all the parts and supplies you need.

We are certain you will agree that we offer some great choices with our popular frost free faucets. Once you have taken a look at our different models and read through the descriptions and specifications, the next step is to watch our instructional Woodford videos. We demonstrate step-by-step exactly how to install one of our faucets and let you know what tools you will need.

Customer satisfaction is our top priority and we work hard to deliver on that promise. Discover a few of the services we offer when shopping with us:

• Our “Quick Order Pad by Item #” option for when you are looking to replace a particular Woodford item that you already know the part number for.
• A Troubleshooting guide as well as Tech-Notes for more comprehensive details.
• We tell you upfront the tools and supplies that you will need for an installation or repair and the level of difficulty for each job.
• We explain how a frost free faucet works and why it needs to be installed with a slight downward pitch. Remember it should not be left with a hose or other restrictions attached, which prevents the faucet from draining.

Keep in mind that our frost free yard hydrants are a convenient way to water a large lawn or garden. By buying a frost free model you are protected against freezing as the shut-off valve for the hydrant is below the frost line when installed properly. Once the hydrant is shut-off, and all devices removed from nozzle, the hydrant will drain and not freeze.

The Woodford Name Stands for Quality

Some names just stand for quality as does the Woodford brand when it comes to outdoor faucets and yard hydrants. After all, they are the same products that plumbers have used and trusted for over 84 years, and Eagle Mountain Products is proud to be their official online retailer.

To give you a little background on the Woodford Manufacturing Company’s history, it all began way back in 1929. That is when J.C. Woodford bought a company and the manufacturing rights for the IOWA® Yard Hydrant, which marked the beginning of the Woodford Hydrant Company.

In 1955, the company expanded with their production of commercial wall hydrants. The company then introduced their first Woodford residential faucet in 1963. Today, Woodford is the leading manufacturer in outside faucets, yard hydrants, wall hydrants, vacuum breakers, and backflow preventers.

Our Woodford products are innovative and smartly designed for ease of installation and built for smooth operation and durability. We continue in our efforts to make outdoor watering safe and convenient and are always working on improving and adding to our line with new products.
