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.
