We Take the Confusion Out of Buying Online

Buying online is sometimes quite confusing, which is why Eagle Mountain Products works hard to provide customers with all of the technical specifications on Woodford products and parts.  To ensure you get what you need, we fully explain the features of each product before you ever order anything.

Eagle Mountain’s technical support on our Woodford faucets and yard hydrants is extensive.  Here is an example of what you will find on our website if you are thinking of buying one of our most popular Woodford Model 17 frost free faucets.   Support includes:

·         Detailed specifications for the Model 17 faucet.

·         A step-by-step video demonstration as well as written instructions for installation.

·         Information about upgrading your faucet by installing an Adjustable Rod Kit that comes with a patented, resetting Pressure Relief Valve (PRV).  The PRV is designed to prevent the copper tube from bursting in freezing conditions even if a hose is unintentionally left connected.  See how it works by watching our video.  (Designed to fit several of our popular residential Woodford frost free faucets.)

·         Tech-Notes and Trouble Shooting Guide for the faucet.

·         All of the parts and supplies that help with the installation process such as an Over-sized Flange or a Mounting Sleeve (demo available on how to mount it to a wall).

Have You Wondered How a Frost Free Faucet Works?


 
For those of you that live in climates that experience freezing temperatures, you need to buy a frost free faucet to protect your home and property.   Before companies such as Woodford Manufacturing started making their quality frost free faucets, it was common for pipes to rupture when water froze inside the faucet.  The damage occurred when the outside temperature started to warm up and water was unable to drain out around the expanding ice blockage.  The water pressure mounted until the pipe burst, thus causing the water damage.    

Now we are lucky to have a great selection of well-designed frost free faucets.  They are not only made differently from standard faucets, but most importantly they are installed differently.  They protect your home from ruptured pipes if installed properly and all of the following recommendations are met.  Please read below to learn why a frost free faucet is different from a standard model, and how it works.

·         A frost free faucet is equipped with a pipe that extends into the house (at least 8 to 12 inches) where it is warmer and thus greatly reduces the risk of freezing. 

·         It has an interior shut-off valve.

·         When properly installed with a downward pitch toward the nozzle, it lets water drain completely out of the faucet reducing the likelihood of water building up inside.

·         All outside water systems should be winterized by turning off the shut-off valve and removing any hose or other devices from the faucet*.

 

*Hoses must not be left attached to the faucet as it prevents water from draining.

We encourage you to take advantage of Eagle Mountain Products’ wide array of step-by-step videos that are available to help with installing a frost free faucet or to repair a leaky one.  Along with buying anything you need for outdoor watering, you will be able to find troubleshooting guides and parts for current or obsolete Woodford faucets.

Eagle Mountain Products Company is the official online retailer of Woodford Manufacturing Company.  Our web site offers a selection of quality products and supplies for your outside watering needs.  We also provide information and video instructions for repairing or installing our Woodford outside faucets.

Remember anyone living in a climate that experiences freezing conditions should have a frost free model properly installed but keep in mind that you still need to remove your hose from the faucet before it starts to freeze to avoid ruptured pipes.  Woodford does make a hydrant that includes a patented Pressure Relief Valve (PRV) that offers the best protection from a pipe bursting (check our website for further information).

We hope the following Q and A provides answers to some of your questions regarding the exceptional Woodford outdoor faucets:

Q:  How do I fix a leaky faucet?
A: There are several things that can cause a leaky faucet. A few examples are the packing nut may not be tight enough or the packing or vacuum breaker may be worn out and needs to be replaced.  If you are unable to determine where the leak is coming from, please call us at 800-308-0864.  Our knowledgeable staff can help to diagnose the problem and show you which repair kit you should purchase.

Q:  Is an outdoor faucet or hydrant repair easy to do?
A:  If you need to repair a Woodford product, we have a library of how-to videos to walk you through the steps.   Furthermore all of our yard hydrants can be repaired from the top of the unit so you are not required to take it out of the ground.

Q:  What is a Pressure Relief Valve (PRV)?
A:  Our Patented Pressure Relief Valve (PRV) prevents the faucet tube from bursting in freezing conditions, even if a hose is left connected to the faucet.  We have a video demonstrating how a PRV works in the faucet tube.

Q: Do I need a vacuum breaker, and if so, how do I install it?
A: If you have ever taken your hose off and had a splash-back of water, a vacuum breaker is designed to prevent that from happening.  We sell the Woodford Model 50 Auto-Drain Double Check Backflow Preventer that is the first ASSE 1052 approved automatic draining double-check backflow preventer. When a hose is removed from a Model 50 equipped wall faucet or yard hydrant, two linked but independent checks move as one to open a path through the valve allowing water to drain completely and prevent freezing.  Please see our Vacuum Breaker Repair installation video.

The Extremely Durable IOWA® Yard Hydrant


At Eagle Mountain Products, we have a saying that if only we could all look this good after 50 years, which is our affectionate way of saying that Iowa yard hydrants are built to last.  They are the products that started the Woodford Manufacturing Company, and yes, we do know that some of our hydrants are still operating after 50 years.

Woodford got its start in 1929 when J.C. Woodford bought the company and the manufacturing rights for the IOWA® Yard Hydrant to become the Woodford Hydrant Company.  Subsequently the company introduced commercial wall hydrants in 1955 and the first residential faucets in 1963.
Although Woodford has been manufacturing Iowa hydrants since 1929, there have been many improvements made to the hydrant over the years, but the good news is that parts are still interchangeable. 

Furthermore as an owner of an IOWA hydrant, you can easily make all repairs from the top of the unit without the added hassle of having to remove the hydrant from the ground.
The Iowa Model Y34 continues to be our most popular yard hydrant and provides an immediate water flow even in sub-zero temperatures.  Features include a variable-flow, long-life packing, a rod guide that eliminates side pull on the rod, and a 3/4" inlet and 1″ galvanized steel pipe.

Our Iowa Model Y1 is also one of our top selling hydrants and it too provides an immediate water flow in sub-zero temperatures.  The Y1 features include a variable-flow plunger; long-life packing, a rod guide that eliminates side pull on the rod, and a 1" inlet and 1 ¼” galvanized steel pipe. For your convenience, keep in mind that Eagle Mountain Products stocks all replacement parts for any obsolete model of yard hydrants and outdoor faucets.

Eagle Mountain Products Company is the only authorized online retailer for the Woodford Manufacturing Company.  We carry the full line of Woodford outdoor watering products that plumbers have used and trusted for years.  Our website provides extensive information and video instructions for repairing or installing our Woodford outside faucets.
