Woodford Offers Repair Kits for Easy Fixes

Eagle Mountain Products has all you need to repair or upgrade your Woodford faucets and yard hydrants. To make it easy, we offer kits that are designed to do the particular job required with all the parts and instructions included. We even provide video step-by-step tutorials to walk you through repairing, replacing, or upgrading many of our Woodford products.

One example of what we offer conveniently packaged for our customers is the Woodford RK-17VB Vacuum Breaker Float Repair Kit for the popular Woodford Model 17 Wall Faucet. The kit (we carry similar kits for our other model faucets) is complete with everything you need to do the job. Our Vacuum Breaker Repair video demonstrates how to repair or replace the vacuum breaker on the Model 17, 19, or 101 faucets.

Another item Woodford recently introduced is the Adjustable Rod with Pressure Relief Valve Repair Kit that upgrades the Model 14, 16, 17, 19, 22 and V22 outdoor wall faucets. The patented Pressure Relief Valve included in the kit protects pipe from bursting during freezing conditions even when the faucet is unintentionally left connected to a hose.

Our video library demonstrates a faucet installation or repair and lets you know what tools are needed for the project. In some cases, a faucet is not worth fixing, and it is time to buy a new one. We make it easy to browse through our online store to view our wide selection and compare all the different features and options available. Some of our faucets contain an integral backflow protection device, and therefore, do not require an add-on vacuum breaker.

Plumbers know and trust the Woodford name for quality products that provide years of dependable service and low maintenance. Our line of frost free hose bibs and hydrants are designed and intended for year-round residential irrigation purposes regardless of the outside temperature.

Do I Need a Woodford Backflow Preventer?

Have you ever taken your hose off and experienced a spray-back of water? Eagle Mountain Products would like to introduce you to the Woodford Nidel® 50H series vacuum breaker designed to protect from spray-back. It is the first ASSE 1052 approved automatic draining high-flow, double-check backflow preventer.

How does it work? When a hose is removed from a Model 50 equipped wall faucet or yard hydrant, two linked but independent check valves automatically move as one. They open a path through the valve that allows water to drain completely, and thereby, prevent freezing. It will automatically drain when the hose is removed, and unlike single check vacuum breakers, can be field tested for reliability.

The Model 50 can be used to upgrade a Woodford frost free hose bib or yard hydrant (check our website for more info) and comes standard with several models. The 50HA is standard on Models C22, B22, 27 and 30; the 50HF is standard on Model 26, Y2, H34, B26, and Y95. The vacuum breaker is available in your choice of Chrome Plated or Brass. We provide detailed specifications (woodfordmfg.com) as well as Tech-Notes with operating instructions and field testing procedures.

Be sure and take a look at our website to see all of the innovative, quality products that Woodford continues to offer and improve upon. Many of the designs and features are exclusive to Woodford and are not available from the competition. We offer helpful instructional videos to demonstrate installations and repairs on many of our most popular products.

Plumbers have been using Woodford faucets and yard hydrants for years, and Eagle Mountain makes it easy for a homeowner to buy the same durable, low maintenance products. We understand how a beautifully landscaped outdoor living space can add value to your home and bring years of enjoyment. We make it easier to accomplish by offering the proper outdoor watering devices.

Woodford Products Repair Guide

No one wants to waste time and money by installing a faucet that is produced with cheap materials, and may turn out to be difficult to repair or maintain.  At Eagle Mountain Products we only sell the highest-quality outdoor faucets, which is why we carry the complete line of Woodford outside faucets and yard hydrants.  Woodford has long been a trusted name in the industry, the choice of professionals and they began manufacturing the IOWA® yard hydrant way back in 1929.  They later introduced their first residential faucet in 1963.   

Eagle Mountain’s website makes online shopping convenient by allowing you the opportunity to browse through the full selection of Woodford products to find the right choices for your needs.  As an additional service, we offer step-by-step video instructions for installing your new faucet or yard hydrant as well as detailed instructions for repairing or upgrading an existing Woodford product. 

One of the great advantages to buying a Woodford is that we carry all the replacement parts to fix or upgrade any models produced since 1929, whether it is a current or obsolete product.  By following our repair instructions, we show you how to DIY, and in many cases, saving you from having to replace the unit.   We have knowledgeable and corteous staff that is available to help answer any questions that you may have beyond what you may find on our site.    

Don’t forget to take a look at our frost free yard hydrants as they are a convenient way to water a large lawn or garden.  If you decide on 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.  Keep in mind that any repairs on all of our hydrants are easily done as you do not have to remove the unit from the ground.

What Makes a Woodford PRV So Special?

You may be wondering exactly what a Woodford patented Pressure Relief Valve (PRV) is and what makes it so special? Our PRV prevents the faucet tube from rupturing, and any consequent water damage that may occur during freezing conditions, even when a hose is inadvertently left connected to the faucet. The faucet will still freeze, however it will not rupture. As a result, the PRV provides a homeowner peace of mind and prevents costly water damage.

Eagle Mountain Products knows that a frost free outdoor faucet is a requirement in climates that experience freezing conditions. We carry the entire line of quality Woodford products for you to choose from. A couple of our more popular frost free faucets, the Model 19, 22 and V22 already come equipped with the added protection of the patented PRV.

If you have an existing Woodford frost free faucet or are looking to buy one other than the Model 19 or 22, we have a kit that allows you to upgrade your faucet with our PRV. The Woodford Adjustable Rod Kit includes all the necessary parts to retrofit the most-common 4" to 14" Woodford operating rods and comes with the patented PRV.

To order the kit, you will not be required to remove the existing rod to determine the rod length. Just purchase kit and once you receive it, watch our instructional step-by-step video to use as your guide for installing the kit. The package includes instructions and a diagram to scale, which will allow you to determine the correct length rod to place into your existing Woodford faucet.

Consider the advantages of buying a Woodford frost free outdoor water faucet:
  • It allows you to use the faucet without worry, year-round, for immediate water even during sub-zero conditions. 
  • Once the faucet is properly installed, it will safely contain the water in the portion of tubing that sits inside your insulated house, instead of outside where temperatures may be below freezing. 
  • Has the option to upgrade your new or current Woodford faucet by installing the patented PRV. You will get you the added protection of knowing that even if you leave a hose attached to the faucet during freezing temperature, you are still protected from ruptured pipes.

Our website offers an extensive library of step-by-step videos to help with do-it-yourself installations and repairs on outside faucets.
