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.

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.

Springtime has Finally Arrived!





Now that we are all looking forward to getting outside again and working in our gardens, this may be the right time to consider buying a new yard hydrant.  Outdoor watering can is time consuming and a yard hydrant can help to make the job easier than ever.  This is why Eagle Mountain Products wants to introduce you to Woodford Manufacturing and their line of extremely durable yard hydrants, of which many are designed to be used even in the coldest weather.  Loaded with an array of features, our hydrants make up the best selection on the market today and are sure to meet your every need.     

You may wonder how frost free yard hydrants can safely be used in sub-zero temperatures.  The answer is when a hydrant is installed properly; the shut-off valve sits below the frost line.  Furthermore, when the hydrant valve is properly shut-off, and all hoses and devices removed from the nozzle, the water in the standpipe will drain out of a hole in the valve body, and therefore, not freeze.

Another reason Woodford yard hydrants are such a great buy is that in the event a part wears out and needs to be replaced, you are able to do the repair without removing the unit from the ground.   Additionally you will find that Eagle Mountain carries any part you need regardless of how old the Woodford hydrant may be.  This means even if the hydrant is no longer manufactured, you will still be able to purchase a repair part from our website.
