How to Prevent a Hydrant from Freezing

January 24, 2022 by Buy Eagle in Eagle Mountain

Outdoor water hydrants perform a critical task, getting this much needed resource where it needs to be whether to provide water for livestock or other important irrigation needs. A frost-free yard hydrant contains a standpipe, a long vertical pipe that the water drains out of when the hydrant is shut off.  Because this long standpipe reaches down below the frost line, and all the water drains out of the pipe when it is shut off, there is no water to freeze in the pipe and a fresh supply of water is always available. 

The best way to prevent water from freezing in an outdoor water hydrant is to start with a quality hydrant like the Woodford Y34 IOWA frost-free yard hydrant. Besides using a quality hydrant, proper installation and removing hose connections are the only things needed to prevent a water hydrant from freezing. The Woodford frost-free hydrant will perform for many years with proper installation. 

How Does a Frost Free Hydrant Work? 

The faucet on a yard hydrant is a specialized type of fulcrum lever that raises and lowers a long pump rod that is inside of the standpipe. The bottom end of the pump rod contains a plunger with a seal like a rubber washer fitted to seal the end. Because the water fully drains from the pipe (when there are no hose connections), and no water can wash back up into it, the pipe cannot freeze therefore it will not rupture. 

Since the source of water lies beneath the frost line, it remains liquid even in extremely cold temperatures.  Depending on the frost line and the space available for installation, the Woodford Y34 IOWA frost free hydrant can be installed at various bury depths from 1 through 8+ bury depths. 

What’s the Best Frost Free Water Hydrant? 

The Woodford Y34 IOWA yard hydrant is the name that comes to mind when people ask for the best in quality of hard hydrants.  Woodford created the original Model Y34 in 1929, considered America’s Original, and is still the most requested and Choice of the Professional brand for dependability and functionality for freezeless yard hydrants. 

You can get the Woodford Model Y34 IOWA freezeless yard hydrant at BuyEagle.com where you can learn more about the benefits of this heavy duty hydrant. 


BuyEagle.com offers quality Woodford yard hydrants and freezes faucets including repair and replacement parts. You can find the full Watco product line including tub waste drain parts and replacement tub stoppers. Contact us with any questions on installing a Woodford freezeless yard hydrant.

How Does A Freezeless Faucet Work?

December 15, 2021 by Buy Eagle in Eagle Mountain

We use our outdoor water faucets all summer long, but when cold weather sets in it is important to winterize your home which includes making sure your faucets do not freeze. Removing your garden hose from the faucet is necessary to allow water to flow out of your faucet, also called the silcock, spigot or hose bib. Installing a frost-free, or freezeless faucet, is one of the best ways to prevent frozen faucets from bursting and causing water damage.

Freezeless Faucet Versus a Traditional Spigot

A freezeless faucet looks very similar to a traditional spigot on the outside, although the parts on the inside are different. A frost free hose bib has a longer pipe that goes inside the house than a traditional faucet. This allows the shutoff valve to sit further inside the home where it is warmer. An outdoor faucet should be installed with a slight downward pitch to help water drain out of the pipe so it will not freeze. A traditional faucet may have the shutoff valve sitting right behind the handle.

When you turn the water off on a freezeless faucet, the water is stopped behind the valve, which is further inside the home so it will not freeze. Any water left in the outside portion of the pipe drains out. This leaves nothing left in the pipe to freeze and cause pressure which is what causes pipes to burst. Frozen and ruptured pipes can cause significant damage to a home.

Proper installation is critical for a freeze proof faucet to provide the protection it was designed for. Winterizing home maintenance is still necessary as you still have to disconnect the hose from the faucet to ensure that no water will freeze inside the pipe. When your garden hose is removed and your frost free hose bib is properly installed, there should be no risk of a freezing faucet.

You can learn more and find the Woodford faucet that works for you at BuyEagle.com, the official online retailer for quality Woodford faucets and hydrants as well as the full Watco product line. Watco offers high quality bathtub drains and tub stoppers, designed for easy installation and long-lasting performance.

Protect Your Home with Freezeless Outdoor Faucet

December 02, 2021 by Buy Eagle in Eagle Mountain

Winter is on the way and winterizing your outside faucet is important before freezing conditions hit.  Besides disconnecting your garden hose before sub-zero weather comes, the best defense in protecting your home from bursting pipes is to install a frost-free hose bib.  A frost-free faucet from Woodford is helpful to prevent accidents and an anti-burst faucet will provide the greatest protection all year long. 

Prepare Your Faucet for Winter

The first thing to do to prepare for winter is to remove your hose from your faucet, this will ensure that your frost-free hose bib will not be damaged at all.  An anti-burst faucet like the Woodford Model 19 will provide even greater protection even during the cold, winter months. 

For maximum protection, you can turn off the water supply to your faucet from inside the house. Many exterior faucets contain a separate shut-off valve located inside the home, although some older homes may not have this on their exterior faucets. 

Woodford freezeless faucets help to prevent damage from freezing winter conditions affecting your outer faucet with an integral vacuum breaker and proper installation.  Frost-free hose bibs should be installed at a slightly downward pitch to allow water to drain out of the faucet when turned off and not in use.  

You can find all Woodford freezeless and anti-burst faucets at BuyEagle.com, the premier online retailer for Woodford faucets, hydrants and Watco plumbing supplies.  Watco leads the industry with tub repair parts such as replacement stoppers, drain waste products, overflow plates and more.

Learn How Much Water Your Farm Needs and Water Hydrant Solutions

October 31, 2021 by Buy Eagle in Eagle Mountain

Providing an adequate supply of water to your farm is required for your livelihood, necessary for farming and for the survival of livestock.  Reliable, quality water is critical to any mixed farming enterprise and prolonged dry seasons can highlight the need for this precious resource. Water is a basic necessity of life, and even more critical to the farmer with crops and animals dependent upon this valuable resource. 

Farmers know they need to have a reliable supply of water but knowing just how much water your farm needs can be a complicated equation.  According to Agriculture Victoria, a partnership for farmers, industries and communities, there is some helpful advice for just how much water your farm needs depending on your farm location and type of livestock on your farm. 

Know Your Water Requirements

Installing quality water yard hydrants in the right locations to supply fresh water for your farm and livestock is critical to meet your farming needs.  In order to calculate the requirements for your farm’s water supply you need to consider the available water resources, the quality of the water, drought conditions and your future needs. 

Some of the most farm water needs as unregulated water requirements include: 

  • Dairy

  • Meat and wool production

  • Potatoes

  • Vegetables

  • Cropping

  • Fruit and grape crops

Water is also necessary in farm production systems such as: 

  • Irrigation

  • Plant wash down

  • Production management 

  • Stock water

In order to determine the amount of water that you need for your farming business, you need to calculate the use of water for all processes such as:

  • Garden

  • Dairy 

  • Irrigation

  • Fire prevention

  • Spraying for weeds

  • Stock water

Determine the amount of water needed for each use, the season you will need water the most and the quality of water needed.  The amount of water that plants and animals need varies greatly during different seasons and climate conditions as well as the type of food your livestock eats.  For example, sheep that feed on green feed during the winter don’t need as much water as sheep that feed on dry feed during the summer, which can be almost 10 times more the amount of water needed. 

Beef cattle can require up to 100 litres of water per head, per day.  Dry sheep can require up to 10 litres per head, per day, while a garden might need 45 litres per minute during watering time.  For more information on providing the right amount of water for your livestock, consider the breed, the age, and weight of the animals, and see this chart on Table 1 for the average livestock water requirements. 

Woodford Model Y34 IOWA® Yard Hydrant

When providing reliable water supply for your farming operations, farmers worldwide rely on the Woodford Model Y34 IOWA® yard hydrant.  Woodford has a reputation for providing high quality, durable yard hydrants for farms and livestock with a reliable supply of water even in freezing conditions.

When to Replace Your Bathtub Overflow Plate

October 06, 2021 by Buy Eagle in Eagle Mountain

It takes many working parts on your bathtub for water to flow freely or hold when you want it to. The overflow plate on your tub is just as important as the drain and can often be overlooked.  The overflow plate is designed to protect against just that, water overflowing out of the bathtub.  If you start a bath and then walk away and get preoccupied, or a child turns the faucet on and walks away, a runny faucet left on with a clogged drain, any number of things can go wrong and cause significant damage to your bathroom floor, appliances, and your tub.  

How Does a Tub Overflow Plate Work? 

Every bathtub overflow plate is designed with an opening that should be facing downward, so that if water overflows it goes into a pipe that connects to the main drain.  This protective device provides a detour for overflowing bathtub water, giving homeowners time to correct the problem and prevent disaster. If your overflow plate isn’t in good shape, it might be time to replace it if it will not do the job when needed. 

When to Replace Your Overflow Plate

It is always best if you can identify a problem with your overflow plate early on to prevent a bigger problem later.  There are some signs that you might need to replace your tub overflow plate. 

Sometimes, the rubber gasket behind the faceplate can break down and cause water to exceed the cover instead of drain like it should.  Another cause of the overflow plate not draining properly could be due to a clogged drain.  The overflow plate won’t be able to do its job if the drain is severely clogged.  If your overflow plate does not drain like it should, water can seep beneath the tub and turn into a leak far away from the water source. 

Replacing Your Tub Overflow Plate

Fortunately, products exist today that make it easy to replace your bathtub overflow plate and other important tub drain parts like bathtub stoppers.  If your overflow plate needs replacing, it is likely that your bathtub stopper could be upgraded as well.  Watco offers bathtub trim kits that include a new tub overflow plate, tub stopper and drain that any homeowner can easily install themselves.

The Watco Innovator Snap-On overflow plate kit installs easily, looks sleek and shiny and can adapt to retrofit any single hole or double hole trip lever overflow plate.  It comes with a black retainer nut and H-bar adapter, just hold onto the existing bolts to secure the retainer nut behind the adapter. You can use your existing H-bar adapter if you are converting from a trip lever type of tub stopper. 

When you install the Innovator Snap-On overflow plate and the SimpliQuick Tub Fix® tub stopper, you can quickly upgrade the look and function of your bathtub. The Innovator Snap-On overflow with a matching tub stopper is available in many different finish options such as chrome, brushed nickel, oil-rubbed bronze and more.  BuyEagle.com offers quality Watco tub repair products and Woodford hydrants and faucets, known for high-quality, easy installation and trusted by professional plumbers.

How to Install a Woodford Frost Proof Yard Hydrant

August 26, 2021 by Buy Eagle in Eagle Mountain

Woodford Mfg. is well known for high quality yard hydrants and outdoor faucets, with many frost-proof versions available that provide reliable irrigation solutions in freezing temperature conditions.  Installing a Woodford yard hydrant is a great way to provide worry-free water flow to areas that need it even during winter temperatures.  When taking care of livestock, ranches, farms, or outdoor properties, reliable irrigation is a must.  

Learn how to install a Woodford yard hydrant and never worry about having a fresh water supply again.  Here are the simple to follow instructions for installing a Woodford Yard hydrant: 

1)  Dig a hole for your hydrant that is deeper than the bury depth and about 2 ft. in diameter.

2) Flush out debris, gravel, etc. from the supply line prior to connecting the hydrant.

3) Install the hydrant with the drain hole below the frost line.  Use wrenches on the supply line fitting and brass valve body only to prevent over-tightening the hydrant assembly as that can affect the operation of the hydrant. 

4)  If the supply line does not support the hydrant, use a suitable support driven in the bottom of the pit like pipe or rebar to support the hydrant.  

5)  Check the hydrant connection for leaks by turning on the water, prior to filling the excavation.

6)  Make provisions to allow water to drain from the hydrant drain hole every time the hydrant is closed.  

a)  If installing the hydrant inside a concrete driveway, or inside a structure, connect a 1/8” copper drain tubing to the drain hole and dig a remote drain field outside for the drain pipe to empty into.  If this remote piping drain field is not installed, water from the hydrant drainage will surface near the hydrant and cause muddy areas or damage to floor surfaces. 

b)  If the ground in the hydrant drain field gets saturated, it can prevent the hydrant from fully draining and can cause freezing.  A larger drain field may be required to give the hydrant a place to drain in areas that have a tendency to have standing water. 

c) Be sure to fill the bottom of the pit with ½” gravel up to about 3” above where the brass drain valve body is, to provide proper drainage.

Easy to Install a Frost Proof Yard Hydrant before the Fall

July 30, 2021 by Buy Eagle in Eagle Mountain

Frost proof yard hydrants are typically installed in locations that require access to water and are too far away to be serviced with a garden hose attached to a standard exterior faucet. A yard hydrant installation is typically comprised of a horizontal pipe buried underground leading to a long vertical pipe that is known as the standpipe. Water automatically drains out of the standpipe every time you shut off the hydrant. The bottom of the standpipe reaches below where the ground freezes in the winter called the frost line.  After each use, the water drains out of the handle and the standpipe below the frost line so that no water is left above the frost line where it can freeze.

Quality Hydrants with Proper Installation Prevents Freezing

Frost free yard hydrants are convenient in many areas such as ranches, corrals, large flower beds, farms and anywhere animal livestock require year-long access to fresh water. A yard hydrant must be installed and working properly to prevent freezing.  Quality yard hydrants can meet irrigation needs for decades with very little maintenance required although providing minimal annual maintenance such as greasing the valve system if it gets dried out or adjusting the tension on the handle can help to maintain a quality working yard hydrant.

The Woodford Y34 IOWA® yard hydrant is one of the most popular frostproof types of yard hydrants on the market providing reliable irrigation in subzero conditions. Woodford offers quality faucets and hydrants such as the Model Y34 which provides variable-flow and features such as a rod guide to eliminate side pull on the rod and long life packing for decades of reliable water service.

You can get quality Woodford hydrants such as the Model Y34 as well as exterior faucets and frost-free hose bibs from BuyEagle.com, the premier online retailer for quality Woodford and Watco products. Watco is recognized as a leading provider of quality bathtub repair products including replacement tub stoppers and waste drain repair and replacement items.

How to Fix a Bathtub Drain Plug

June 29, 2021 by Buy Eagle in Eagle Mountain

You may not give much thought to your tub drain stopper, but when it stops working like it should you quickly want to know the best way to fix your bathtub drain plug.  If your tub stopper is no longer holding water, it can be a real pain to keep filling the tub during a bath, wasting precious hot water.  Tub stoppers, overflow plates and tub drains can get corroded over time, leaving a lot to be desired if you want shiny, clean looking tub fixtures.  

If you have been wanting to replace a corroded or faulty bathtub drain plug, it is a lot easier than you may think and you do not need to call a plumber.  Save time and money by fixing your tub drain yourself, with quality tub repair products by Watco that are easy to install.  Whether you need new tub drain repair parts or a replacement stopper, Watco bathtub plumbing products are the choice of professional plumbers for long lasting, quality products with simple installation. 

Removing Your Tub Stopper

Before you remove and replace your bathtub drain stopper, you need to identify the type of drain plug you have.  If you have a lever protruding from the overflow plate, you have either a pop-up or plunger style of tub stopper.  You will need to remove the overflow plate first to remove this type of stopper.  Sometimes adjustments need to be made to the linking rod mechanism to lower the plunger more into the drain or to adjust the pop-up mechanism.  

Many times, it is easier to remove and replace this type of stopper with a new push-pull stopper and a new overflow plate.  The SimpliQuick® Tub Fix push-pull stopper provides an easy solution with many benefits and you can get the trim kit that comes with a matching overflow plate that could not be easier to install.  The Innovator Snap-On overflow plate by Watco gives that finishing touch to any tub upgrade available in many finish options to match your new tub stopper.

Versatile Yard Hydrant for Any Outdoor Irrigation Needs

June 28, 2021 by Buy Eagle in Eagle Mountain

Yard hydrants provide a vital water supply to many outdoor irrigation needs such as on farms and ranches, although yard hydrants also provide large water supply needs to many other applications.  A freezeless yard hydrant is the ideal solution when you have irrigation needs all year long and experience cold, freezing winters.  When you release the handle on a yard hydrant, the water drains out below the frost line so that no water is left in the pipe to freeze.  

Common Uses for Yard Hydrants

Yard hydrants are often used for cleaning equipment, filling spray equipment for fields and to provide a water supply to animals.  Yard hydrants provide a vital water supply for these needs and others including:

Farms – yard hydrants are a common sight on farms which have a high demand for water all year long for many purposes.  Water is a vital necessity on a farm for watering plants and animals, with significant water demand fluctuating throughout the year.  Farms need water for spraying the fields, for watering livestock, for cleaning equipment, for weed spraying, and possibly even fire suppression.  Every farmer should carefully evaluate their water needs based on the type of crops and livestock.  

Ranches - ranchers have the same needs as farmers although their main focus is typically on livestock rather than crops.  Ranches can have different herds of animals such as cattle, horses, sheep, and other animals that need a reliable supply of water all year long regardless of the temperature outside. A quality yard hydrant on a ranch provides a convenient method for ranchers to get water to animals even in remote locations.

Campgrounds - you will often see water hydrants on Campgrounds so that various campers can have access to water at different convenient locations. Yard hydrants at campgrounds improves the serviceability as campers only have to walk a specified distance for water and workers are not bothered for water needs at campsites. 

Rural Residences – some homes that are in rural areas may have outbuildings spread out over large areas of property where a demand for water might be beneficial or necessary. 

Municipality parks and recreation – many parks and recreation areas have yard hydrants so that visitors can access water when needed.  

Schools – many school campuses have yard hydrants spread around a sprawling campus to accommodate the need for water. 

Smaller orchards – orchards smaller than a large farm still have a critical need for water and yard hydrants provide the solution.  

No matter your environment or application needs for water, when you need reliable irrigation that cannot be jeopardized you can count on the Woodford Y34 IOWA® Yard Hydrant.  Woodford is a name trusted by professionals for yard hydrants, utility and wall hydrants and wall faucets.  The Y34 IOWA® Yard Hydrant is popular in many applications and gives a reliable water supply even in sub-zero conditions.

Best Frost Free Yard Hydrant for Year Round Irrigation

June 07, 2021 by Buy Eagle in Eagle Mountain

Most of the time, in areas that experience cold winters and freezing temperatures, access to an outdoor water supply is not necessary. Homeowners and businesses do not typically use their outside water faucet during freezing winter months. Farmers and ranchers, however, must rely on an outdoor water source when caring for animals like cattle, horses, or other livestock. Animals still need plenty of water during the winter even if the ground is frozen 2 to 3 feet below the surface.

Farmers find the solution to care for their animals year-round with frost free yard hydrants. A frost-free yard hydrant gives a steady supply of water to animals without freezing and without bursting causing broken pipes. Frozen pipes are a big concern in the northern hemisphere as ranchers and farmers rely on their animals for their livelihood, and animals rely on water for survival. 

Woodford Model Y34 Iowa® Yard Hydrant Top Rated

The importance of using a frost free yard hydrant cannot be overstated, so how do you find the best yard hydrant for your land and livelihood?  After evaluating various types of yard hydrants, you’ll find the Woodford Model Y34 Iowa® Yard Hydrant to be in the top-rated yard hydrants available worldwide, outlasting and outperforming comparable hydrants.
