The Dependable IOWA® Yard Hydrant


As the official online retailer for Woodford Manufacturing, Eagle MountainProducts is proud of the great reputation 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, a rod guide that eliminates side pull on the rod and a 3/4" inlet and 1″ galvanized steel pipe 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 a rod guide that eliminates side pull on the rod and a 1" inlet and 1 ¼” galvanized steel pipe are just a few of the features offered.   

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. In the event one of our hydrants needs to be repaired, we carry the entire inventory of parts and provide videos on hydrant repair as well as adjusting the linkage.           
Please check out our website for information on all our yard hydrants, outdoor faucets and replacement parts. Be sure to take a look at our large selection of frost free hydrants and faucets to protect your home when living in climates that experience freezing temperatures.
Eagle Mountain Products is proud to be the authorized online retailer of the Woodford Manufacturing Company and we carry the entire line of outdoor faucets, yard hydrants and parts.  We also provide customers with lots of DIY information as well as a library of videos on how to install or repair one of our products.  See our website to learn more about our dependable Woodford hydrants.
