When You Should Replace Your Tub Overflow Plate

October 31, 2022 by Buy Eagle in Eagle Mountain

The overflow plate is an important part of your bathtub plumbing fixtures and waste drain and can often be overlooked. The tub overflow plate is connected to the overflow pipe, which protects against an accidental overflowing bathtub. It happens quite often where someone will start to run a bath, then walk away and get preoccupied, forgetting the tub water is still running. This can cause significant damage to bathroom flooring, ceilings if in an upstairs bathroom, and furnishings.

How a Bathtub Overflow Plate Works

An overflow plate has an opening on the bottom, and once the water reaches that level, it should flow into the overflow pipe and out the main drain. An overflow plate is a protective device to detour overflowing water and provides homeowners with added protection against a flooding disaster. If your overflow plate has not been replaced in many years, it could be a good time to replace it to make sure it keeps doing the job it is intended to and will be ready if you need it.

Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Bathtub Overflow Plate

Identifying a problem with your bathtub overflow plate early on is always best in order to avoid a bigger problem. The rubber gasket that sits behind the overflow faceplate can break down over time which causes water to not drain as it should in the tub could fill out higher than it is supposed to. A clogged bathtub drain is another cause for the overflow pipe not draining as it should. Any problem with your overflow pipe or your overflow plate not draining like it is supposed to may cause water to seep under the tub and leak from a point away from the source of water.

Easy Bathtub Overflow Plate Replacement

If you want to prevent a catastrophe, consider replacing your bathtub overflow plate with one of the easiest replacements on the market, the Watco Snap-On Innovator® Overflow Plate. Watco makes it easy to upgrade your bathtub with an overflow plate that is simple to install and is available with a matching bathtub stopper for a complete and polished look to your tub. You can get Watco bathtub stoppers and waste drain products at BuyEagle.com.

Frost-Free Spigots Save Homeowners Costly Repairs

October 28, 2022 by Buy Eagle in Eagle Mountain

One simple and affordable exterior home update can save homeowners big repair bills and major headaches. Most homeowners perform winterizing tasks to protect their home in the cold winter months, such as caulking any loose windows, adding weatherstripping to doors, and putting away summer furniture, games and toys.  One of the most important things to remember is to disconnect the garden hose before freezing temperatures hit.

Sometimes winter sneaks up on us, and homeowners can forget to drain excess water out of the faucet before it freezes. This simple oversight can have disastrous consequences when the remaining water in the faucet line freezes and expands with frigid temperatures. Ice takes up about 10% more space than the same amount of liquid water, and when water freezes in a pipe, there is no place for this extra mass to go. This causes the pipe to burst from expansion. 

A ruptured pipe sends water flooding inside the wall inside the home and, depending on where your faucet is, may cause significant damage to interior walls, basement walls, floorboards, and basement ceilings. Flooded rooms can also ruin furniture and possessions, causing thousands of dollars of necessary repairs.

Replace Standard Faucets with a Frost Free Hose Bib 

Homeowners can protect their homes and possessions against water damage from freezing pipes by installing a frost-free hose bib, also known as an outdoor faucet, spigot, or sillcock. The Woodford Anti-Rupture Model 19 has a patented Pressure Relief Valve (PRV) where a spring action will release a tiny amount of water back into the line after 300 psi has been built inside the tube. A copper pipe can burst at 1,800 psi, so the PRV releases way before the 1,800 psi level. The Woodford Model 30 has automatic draining features, and the hose can be left connected, although it is always best to remove your hose from the faucet before freezing weather hits. 

It’s easy to replace standard faucets with quality frost-free hose bibs like Woodford faucets.  Woodford is known for quality outdoor faucets and yard hydrants, with frost-free spigot models and solutions for commercial wall hydrants. You can find the full Woodford product line, as well as all Watco bathtub drain waste and tub stoppers, from BuyEagle.com.

Key Factors When Choosing Your Next Yard Hydrant

September 21, 2022 by Buy Eagle in Eagle Mountain

A yard hydrant is a reliable method to bring access to water to remote locations. Before installing a yard hydrant, you should make sure that the water supply is below the frost line. In addition to this, there are some key factors that should be considered. Things to think about when choosing a yard hydrant include:

  • Ease of operation

  • Simple adjustments and repairs

  • Flow optimization

  • Locking cam

Ease of Operation

Yard hydrants are meant to make it easy to have water access where it is needed, even in freezing temperatures. Yard hydrants are often located on farms, ranches, construction sites, and other locations where operators may be wearing heavy gloves. A large handle on the hydrant allows for easier operation with gloves on, and the operating rod should open and close easily.

Simple Adjustments and Repairs

It is important to be able to make any adjustments and repairs above ground level as much of a yard hydrant is located underground. Having the ability to perform maintenance above the ground, such as replacing O-rings, is key. This saves a lot of time and work without needing to dig up the yard hydrant.

Flow Optimization

A yard hydrant provides convenient water access, although low pressure can be frustrating and time-consuming. High flow rates in your yard hydrant are important, although there may be instances where you want to control the flow.

Locking Cam

Being able to set the flow finder and lock in the same flow is beneficial as well as locking the hydrant against accidental opening. The ability to lock your hydrant can protect against vandalism.

The Woodford Y34 IOWA® Yard Hydrant has been providing all of these features and more since 1929.

Steps to Install a Woodford Freezeless Yard Hydrant

September 16, 2022 by Buy Eagle in Eagle Mountain

If you rely on a yard hydrant for much-needed irrigation, installing a Woodford freezeless yard hydrant will ensure uninterrupted access to water. A freezeless yard hydrant can ensure that this critical resource is there when you need it whether taking care of farms, ranches, or livestock.  Woodford is a name known and trusted for reliable and durable yard hydrants. Following some simple steps can help you correctly install a Woodford freezes yard hydrant.

  1. First, dig a hole where you plan to install your yard hydrant, approximately 2 feet in diameter and deeper than the bury depth.

  2. Flush out the supply line before connecting to the hydrant to clear any gravel or debris.

  3. Install your Woodford yard hydrant and make sure the drain hole is under the frost line. Use a wrench to tighten the supply line fitting and valve body without overtightening.

  4. Use extra support in the bottom of the pit, such as rebar or pipe, if the supply line does not support the hydrant.

  5. Check for leaks in the hydrant connection by turning the water on the floor and filling the excavation. 

  6. Make the necessary adjustments so that water drains from the hydrant drain hole each time the hydrant is closed. 

    1. Use a 1/8 inch copper drain tubing if installing inside a structure or a concrete driveway. Water draining from the hydrant will surface and cause damage or muddy spots if the remote piping drain field is not installed.

    2. In areas that tend to have standing water, a larger drain field may be required. If the ground is saturated in the hydrant drain field, it could freeze, preventing the hydrant from draining fully and causing damage.

    3. To provide credit drainage, fill the pit up to approximately 3 inches above the brass drain valve body with a half-inch of gravel.

See the hydrant installation instructions from Woodford, and check out the Woodford Y34 IOWA® yard hydrant, the most well-known yard hydrant for reliable water flow in subzero conditions.

Calculating Farm Water Supplies And Reliable Hydrants

July 22, 2022 by Buy Eagle in Eagle Mountain

Managing water on a farm is essential as water is a necessity for crops and livestock and plays a significant role on the welfare of all animal stock, as well as the productivity and profitability of farm operations. Knowing the water requirements for stock drinking water and all of the water sources is critical to plan daily and annual activities. The goal to plan for water needs on a farm is to have all of the water that you need when you need it and where you need it.

  • Considering stock rates to availability of water

  • Farm water supply design and network systems

  • Determining the water supply required to last during prolonged drought conditions

Shortages of water can be a significant problem and limit productivity, and a lack of water can even lead to destocking property or going to the trouble and expense of bringing water in.

Balancing Farm Water Requirements

A critical part of the planning for water requirements process involves balancing Farm water requirements. This includes considering:

  • All water requirements and uses of water (for crops, stock, and people)

  • All farm water supplies and availability

  • Determine the balance between the water supply and usage

Best Tips for Deep Cleaning Your Tub and Shower

April 26, 2022 by Buy Eagle in Eagle Mountain

Spring is in the air, the birds are chirping, and all of a sudden you realize just how dirty your windows are. When you get out your rubber gloves and tackle your spring cleaning this year, do not forget about your bathroom and particularly your bathtub or shower. Giving your tub a good deep cleaning is necessary every once in a while and doing it right will leave you wanting to take a nice long bubble bath in your sparkling clean tub.

Here are some tips to help you get the best deep clean in your tub and shower and easy upgrade options for a beautiful looking tub.

Bathtub and Shower Deep Cleaning Tips

  1. Clean the Grout - cleaning your tiles is one thing, but when the grout in between is filthy and dirty, it takes away from the whole effect. The best way to get your grout super clean is to mix a combination of hydrogen peroxide and baking soda. Mix together and apply with a grout brush by scrubbing into the grout.

  2. Clean or replace the caulk - this same mixture of hydrogen peroxide and baking soda can also get your caulk clean again, although if it is old and crumbly you should just remove the old caulk and re-caulk tub. This is really a very simple process, be sure to have a little cup of water handy to smooth out the caulk application with a wet finger.

  3. Clean that shower glass - it is amazing how quickly glass can start to look dingy from mineral deposits from water or constant exposure to soaps. Tainted shower glass will take away from the whole look of your tub and bathroom. Mix a combination of vinegar, dish soap and water to tackle that tainted shower glass.

  4. Upgrade your bathtub drain fixtures - once you get your tub and shower sparkly clean, any dingy or corroded tub fixtures will really stand out. It is easier than you think to replace a bathtub stopper, overflow plate or tub drain assembly without calling a plumber. Innovative tub repair products today like replacement stoppers from Watco make it easy for anyone to replace their bathtub drain fixtures.

BuyEagle.com is your one stop for all Woodford faucets and hydrants and Watco tub repair products including bathtub drain assembly trim kits, overflow plates, and replacement stoppers.

How to Install Watco Waste and Overflow Drain

March 28, 2022 by Buy Eagle in Eagle Mountain

Watco is a name known for innovative, high-quality bathtub drain, waste, lavatory drain and overflow products. Watco waste and overflow is the name preferred by professional plumbers that recognize durable and long-lasting bathtub drain products.

What Is Bathtub Waste and Overflow?

The bathtub waste and overflow is usually overlooked and not noticed when we look at the bathtub. The bathtub waste describes the drain at the bottom of the tub that disperses bathtub water. The overflow is the hole in the tub that allows excess water to drain out of an overflowing bathtub. 

How Does a Bath Waste and Overflow Work?

The overflow hole is covered with an overflow plate, although it does not contain any mechanism to stop the flow of water. This means that water will continuously drain out of the overflow hole once the water reaches that level. The overflow drain effectively disperses water out of the bathtub to protect your floors and home from water damage from an accidentally overflowing tub. 

As long as the overflow drain is not clogged, it will effectively drain water to keep the water level several inches below the top of the tub. Over time, these components can become corroded or clogged and not allow water to drain out as well as it should. 

How Do I Install Watco Waste And Overflow?

BuyEagle.com is the premier online retailer for all Watco waste and overflow products including bathtub drain waste, overflow plates, replacement tub stoppers, schedule 40 tubing and more. You can find all Watco tub drain products including new, repair and replacement parts along with detailed Watco instructional videos to show you exactly how to install Watco waste and overflow products.

You can also find high-quality Woodford faucets, frost free hose bibs, commercial wall hydrants, and yard hydrants and a full library of Woodford videos for detailed installation and repair instructions.

BuyEagle.com is your one stop for all your bathtub waste and overflow products  as well as Woodford outdoor faucets and hydrants. We offer quality products coupled with exceptional customer service as your total satisfaction is paramount to our success. Contact us with any questions and to learn more about installing the right Watco waste and overflow product for your tub.
