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.

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.

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.

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.

The Top Name in Outdoor Faucets

At Eagle Mountain Products, we take the job of being the authorized online retailer for the Woodford Manufacturing Company very seriously and are proud to offer our customers the best outdoor faucets and yard hydrants on the market.  Not only does our user-friendly website help you to choose a Woodford faucet suitable for your weather conditions but once you decide on a particular model, we show you how to install it.

These quality products, made in the USA, have been designed to last for years and are the same faucets that plumbers use both for their durability and ease of installation.  Once installed, they will require very little maintenance and when something does wear out, we carry the replacement parts for all current and obsolete models.  

Another advantage to a Woodford faucet is that you can upgrade it to provide even more protection such as with a Model 50 Auto-Drain Double Check Backflow Preventer.  This patented 50H series is the first ASSE 1052 approved automatic draining double-check backflow preventer. Once the hose is disconnected 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 to allow the water to drain completely and to prevent freezing.  Our 50H series also protects against splash-back and is available in a chrome-plated or brass finish.    

As a word of precaution, these products along with all 1011 1019 1052 and 1053 ASSE listed devices are not intended to be subjected to continuous water pressure.  We also recommend replacing an outdoor faucet or yard hydrant’s vacuum breaker every 3-5 years.  In addition after using your faucet, please remember to open the drain vents or it may freeze and burst.
