Product Overview
The freezeless Woodford Model 17 is designed and intended for year-round residential irrigation purposes regardless of outside temperature. This faucet will not rupture from freezing when the valve is shut off and the hose is removed. The Model 17 contains an integral backflow protection device which protects up to 125 psi of backpressure and therefore does not require and add-on vacuum breaker. Whether updating an old faucet with a new Woodford freezeless faucet or improving an existing installation, the new RK-OSF Over Sized Flange can cover a larger hole due to previous installation plus secure the faucet to a solid surface. The RK-OSF can be attached to any new or existing Woodford Model 14, 16, 17, 19 and 101 wall flange. Outer holes are spaced a full 3 1/2-in apart for better mounting screw contact in masonry or siding. Patents and patents pending see woodfordmfg.com/patents.
