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. 

See Woodford instructions for hydrant installation and contact BuyEagle.com for more information on finding and installing the right outside hydrant for your property.

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.

Removing Your 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

One of the nicest things about this tub stopper is the universal fit, even for older drains or tub drains that no longer have crossbars.  In older drains, the crossbars may be corroded or broken.  With the SimpliQuick® Tub Fix you can install the stopper right over the existing drain with the mesh grid drain cover attached, even over drains with missing crossbars. 

Upgrade Your Tub Overflow Plate

Your bathtub overflow plate allows water to drain down the overflow pipe in case of accidental overfilling.  The overflow plate can get dingy over time and is often overlooked as an opportunity to brighten up the bathtub.  Installing a matching overflow plate to match your new tub stopper is a quick and easy way to spruce up your tub, and Watco makes it quick, easy and affordable.

Save On Repairing Your Outdoor Faucet

December 18, 2020 by Buy Eagle in Eagle Mountain

Outdoor faucets on homes in areas with harsh winters are subjected to extreme weather changes.  Even without a distinct change in seasons, your outdoor faucet takes a lot of wear and tear which may cause it to leak over time. You might be wondering if you should repair your faucet or replace it.  

You should first examine your faucet for any signs of damage to the stem, the supply pipe or the handle and see if you can tell where the leak is coming from.  If you see a water leak from the handle, you could try to just tighten the packing nut or you may need to replace the washers.  

If these quick fixes are not the answer to your faulty outdoor faucet, BuyEagle.com has the solution with Woodford outdoor faucet repair kits and frost free hose bibs for year round irrigation.

Is Your Outdoor Faucet Protected from Winter Weather?

November 22, 2020 by Buy Eagle

Most homeowners are well aware of the importance of winterizing their outdoor faucets this time of year. This is necessary to prevent the faucet from freezing and bursting which damages not only your faucet but can cause serious damage to your home as well. Winterizing your faucet should be fairly simple and straightforward, although using the right type of outside faucet is the best protection against potential damage. 

Install a Woodford Freezeless Faucet 

Besides disconnecting your garden hose before freezing conditions hit, the next most important thing you can do to protect your home is to install a Woodford freezeless faucet.  Without a freezeless faucet, also called a frost-free hose bib or spigot, you run the risk of water freezing in your faucet and causing damage. Woodford frost-free hose bibs include an integral vacuum breaker and should be installed with a slight downward pitch that allows water to drain out when the faucet is turned off. 

Freezing conditions could damage your faucet and you may not notice until you turn your water on in the spring, flooding the inside of your house and ruining walls or ceilings. To prepare any standard faucet for winter, you should turn off the water supply to the faucet from inside the house.  And as long as you remove the hose from the faucet, your Woodford Freezeless Faucet will be just fine, unless you purchase a Model 19 anti-burst faucet. This will protect you year-round. Most exterior faucets should have a separate shutoff valve inside the house, although some outside faucets on older homes may not. 

BuyEagle.com has the solution for winterizing your outside faucet with Woodford frost-free hose bibs and repair kits.  We carry the full Woodford line as the premier online retailer for quality Woodford faucets, repair kits and hydrants.  BuyEagle.com is your one stop for all your faucet and bathtub repair needs with quality Watco bathtub drain parts including waste drains, replacement stoppers and overflow plates. 

BuyEagle.com is pleased to offer quality Woodford and Watco products, combined with exceptional customer service. We offer a vast online library with how-to videos to ensure your total success. Contact us with any questions about winterizing your outside faucet or how to repair your Woodford frost-free hose bib.
