WOODFORD MFG.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about WOODFORD MFG. from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between a non-enclosed and fully enclosed Woodford wall hydrant?
Non-enclosed Woodford wall hydrants, such as the 65P series, have an exposed valve mechanism and a rectangular or square face that is not covered. Fully enclosed models, like the B22CP or B65P series, feature a cover or enclosure that protects the valve and operating components from the elements and potential tampering. The choice depends on the level of protection required and the installation environment. Both types are available in various finishes and sizes.
How do I select the correct Woodford wall hydrant for my wall thickness?
Woodford wall hydrants are specified by wall thickness and overall length. For example, the 65P-8 is designed for an 8-inch wall thickness with a 12-inch overall length, while the 65P-14 fits a 14-inch wall with an 18-inch overall length. Measure the wall thickness at the installation point and choose a hydrant with a matching specification. 3G Electric lists overall length and intended wall thickness for each SKU to simplify selection.
What materials are used in Woodford wall hydrants?
Woodford wall hydrants typically feature brass bodies and faces, with options for polished brass or chrome-plated finishes. The brass construction provides corrosion resistance and durability. Some models, such as the B22CP-14, have a chrome-plated brass body and a fully enclosed rectangular brass face. The specific material and finish are indicated in the product specifications. Replacement parts are also available in corresponding materials.
Are replacement parts available for Woodford wall hydrants?
Yes, 3G Electric supplies replacement parts for Woodford wall hydrants as part of its 42 SKUs. These parts include components such as vacuum breakers, repair kits, and handles. When ordering replacement parts, refer to the specific Woodford model number to ensure compatibility. The parts are designed to maintain the functionality and extend the service life of the hydrants.
What is the purpose of a freeze-resistant Woodford wall hydrant?
Woodford wall hydrants are designed with a valve mechanism that drains water from the exposed portion when shut off, preventing freezing and bursting in cold weather. This feature is common across many Woodford models. The hydrants are suitable for outdoor installations in climates where freezing temperatures occur. Proper installation and maintenance are required to ensure the freeze-resistant function works as intended.
