Woodford Model 17 Freezeless Outdoor Wall Faucet

Woodford is recognized as a leading manufacturer of outdoor water faucets and hydrants, with various models and replacement parts available.  Frost free faucets, also called hose-bibs or spigots, are ideal in colder climates.  The Model 17 freezeless outdoor water faucet is a good way to protect your home from water damage occurring from a frozen pipe that bursts.

The Model 17 frost free hose bib by Woodford is designed for year-round residential use regardless of the temperature outdoors.  When the valve is shut off and the hose removed the faucet will not burst from freezing. The integral backflow protection device on the Model 17 provides up to 125 psi of backpressure protection which does not require an add-on vacuum breaker.  The Model 17 is designed for residential irrigation use only and should not be used continuously for more than 12 hours.

Model 17 Frost Free Hose Bib Features

Woodford frost free faucets prevent water from collecting in the faucet and freezing, saving headaches and costly water damage.  Water drains from the faucet when the handle is shut off and the hose is removed.  Additional features include:

• Built-in anti-siphon protection
• Adjustable wall flange, polycarbonate
• Integral vacuum breaker
• Stainless steel seat resists scratching or scoring
• Die-cast, powder coated aluminum handle
• Standard “O” size seat washer
• ¾” standard male hose thread nozzle
• Maximum temperature 120°F
• Maximum pressure 125 psi

The Woodford Model 17 will prevent bursting when installed properly with a downward pitch and should be removed in freezing weather.  Be sure to properly measure the overall length and wall thickness, which are not the same.
