Eagle Mountain Products online store carries the entire Woodford inventory and has made shopping for a new outdoor faucet or hydrant easy to do from the comfort of home.  No more wandering up and down the long aisle of a big boxed store searching for what you need but rather take a few minutes to get the detailed information and specifications regarding each product right on our website. 

If you are unfamiliar with the Woodford Manufacturing Company, we want you to know that these are the same products that professionals have used for years both for their durability and ease of installation.  Also the Woodford Company has been around since 1929, and most of our products are made right here in the U.S. 

One product we are proud to offer is the durable Woodford Model 22 (horizontal mount) or the V22 (vertical mount) hot and cold outdoor faucet.  You may have always wanted to have hot and cold water available to you out of doors even in the most extreme sub-zero temperatures and this faucet makes it possible.  Our V22 makes cleaning your garage and tools, washing the dog, filling the kiddie pool and washing windows all easier and quicker with readily available hot water.  

The V22 comes equipped with our patented resetting pressure relief valve that prevents the faucet tube from bursting in freezing conditions even if a hose is unintentionally left attached.  Other highlights include a built-in float style vacuum breaker, an automatic draining feature once the hose is removed, EPDM packing to prevent leaking, and an oval, powder-coated, die cast aluminum handle.

Know Your Depth When Installing a Yard Hydrant


At Eagle Mountain Products, we sell the entire line of the world’s best yard hydrants.  All of our hydrants are manufactured by Woodford and are designed to provide years of service.  In addition they require very little maintenance as the unit is designed to reduce wear on internal parts, and when repairs are needed, they are conveniently done at the head of the hydrant.  If you are considering purchasing a yard hydrant this year, we strongly encourage you to check out the features of our Woodford hydrants.   

One good option is our Woodford R34 frost free yard hydrant that is designed for irrigation purposes and will provide an immediate water flow even in the coldest temperatures.  When properly installed, the hydrant’s shut-off valve is below the frost line, and water in the standpipe drains out of a hole in the valve body.  Once the hydrant is shut-off, and the hose or any other device disconnected, it will drain and not freeze. 

When ordering the Woodford R34, you will select the bury depth of between 1 to 5 feet.  Your bury depth is based on where you live as each region in the country has different frost line bury depths and you can easily locate this information.  In addition you need to know the appropriate depth to dig for installation.  If you watch our video, it walks you through the process of installing a Woodford hydrant.   

Furthermore, we don’t want you to just take our word for it as to the superiority of a Woodford hydrant as compared to the competition, but rather read what a satisfied Woodford hydrant owner says,Love this hydrant!”  He goes on to say the Woodford is so smooth and effortless to use, and notes, “We had four China specials, two are hardly ever used and they're fine, but the two that get used daily have both failed.”  His advice is to get the best right from the start.  Another owner of a Woodford hydrant reports the Woodford is solid and heavy duty, while another customer states he especially likes the adjustable setting function.  Please see our website to learn more about the durable Woodford hydrants and our line of Woodford outdoor faucets. 

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 faucets and hydrants.

A Frost Free Faucet is Uniquely Designed and Installed


You may be aware that if you live in an area with freezing temperatures, you need a frost free faucet but you may not know how one works.   

Before frost free faucets, it was common for faucets in cold climates to rupture when water froze inside the faucet tube.  The problem occurs when outside temperatures begin to warm and water in the pipe is unable to drain out around the expanding ice blockage, which causes the water pressure to mount and the pipe to burst. 

The difference in installation for a frost free faucet is that it is installed with a downward pitch toward the nozzle in order to facilitate water draining completely out of the faucet and reducing the problem of water building up inside the tube.  Hoses must not be left attached to the faucet as this prevents the water from draining.   

For help installing, watch Eagle Mountain Products step-by-step video on how to properly install a frost free faucet.  Please visit Eagle Mountain Products website to view our video library and the full line of Woodford outdoor faucets and accessories.  

Eagle Mountain Products is proud to be the authorized online retailer of the Woodford Manufacturing Company.  In addition to our products, we offer customers a full service website loaded with information and instructional videos on how to repair or replace an outdoor faucet or yard hydrant.  You can purchase with confidence any one of our exceptional, exclusive products from Woodford Manufacturing Company and Watco Manufacturing Company.

The Woodford Adjustable Rod PRV Anti-Rupture Kit


Another innovative kit from Woodford Manufacturing and sold at Eagle Mountain Product’s online store is the Woodford Adjustable Rod Pressure Relief Valve (PRV) Anti-Rupture Kit.  This revolutionary kit offers homeowners the utmost protection from their outdoor faucet bursting in freezing conditions even if a hose was left connected to the faucet.    

The PRV that comes with the kit is our exclusive patented resetting valve designed to prevent the copper faucet tube from rupturing and eliminates the potential for water damage to your home or property.  The kit’s innovative adjustable rod will fit the most common (4” to 14”) Woodford faucet rod lengths and can be used on Models 14, 16, 17, 19, 22, and 22V (you will need two kits for the hot and cold Models 22 and 22V). 

The kit is easy to install especially after you take a look at our video instructions that walk you through the entire job.  In addition you will receive a diagram to scale with your kit so you do not have to remove your existing rod to order.  When you get the kit, you will simply match your old rod length to the new RK-ADJ-PRV and build it to size using the adjustable rod stems and stainless steel clips.     

Please visit the Eagle Mountain website to view the entire line of Woodford frost free faucets and yard hydrants as well as our exclusive kits and authentic replacement parts.   Durable, as well as easy to install and maintain, our products are the same ones that professional plumbers have used and trusted for years.   Check out our video library for more tips on how to install, repair or upgrade Woodford outdoor faucets and yard hydrants.

Do You Need to Buy a Frost Free Faucet?


If you live in an area that ever experiences freezing temperatures, you need to buy a frost free faucet.  It is important to have the right outdoor faucet as your home and property could be at risk of flooding from a ruptured faucet if it is not designed to handle freezing conditions. 

This is why Eagle Mountain Products clearly explains which of our high-quality Woodford outdoor faucets are designed to withstand freezing temperatures.  An example of a frost free faucet is our Model 17 Anti-Siphon, which is one of our more popular faucets.  Intended for year-round residential use regardless of the temperature, the Model 17 will not rupture in freezing weather if the valve is shut off and the hose is disconnected.   

Another Woodford faucet that is a great choice for anyone who lives in areas with freezing weather is the Model 19 that can also be used year-round but is additionally rupture protected.  The Model 19 comes with a patented resetting pressure relief valve that is designed to prevent the faucet casing tube from bursting in freezing conditions even when a hose is left connected. 

Eagle Mountain recommends the sturdy Model 22 or Model V22 for customers who want to be able to access both hot and cold water regardless of how cold it is outside.  It too contains our patented resetting pressure relief valve so you are protected from the faucet rupturing even with the hose attached.  The handy faucet is equipped with separate hot and cold inlet tubes to provide manually operated temperature control.  Furthermore, it contains an integral backflow protection device so it does not require an add-on vacuum breaker.  

We encourage you to visit Eagle Mountain’s online store to see the full line of Woodford outdoor frost free faucets and yard hydrants.   While you are there take a look at our videos that show you how to install and repair them. 

Eagle Mountain Products is proud to be the authorized online retailer of the Woodford Manufacturing Company.  In addition to our products, we offer customers a full service website loaded with information and instructional videos on how to repair or replace an outdoor faucet or yard hydrant.  You can purchase with confidence any one of our exceptional products from Woodford Manufacturing Company and Watco Manufacturing Company.

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.
