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.

We offer quality products coupled with exceptional customer service as your total satisfaction is paramount to our success.

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. BuyEagle.com is your one stop for quality Watco and Woodford products, easy online instructional videos, and exceptional customer service. 

BuyEagle.com offers quality Watco tub repair parts and Woodford faucets and hydrants that last.  We provide a wide selection of quality products and customer service to ensure your total success.  Contact us with any questions on protecting your home this winter with a freezeless or anti-burst outside faucet.
