The Woodford IOWA model Y34 (Orange Head) 3/4 in. NPT variable-flow "America's Original" yard hydrant is immediate-flowing, even in sub-zero conditions. The adjustable linkage provides easy and positive adjustment of the lever lock tension. A rod guide eliminates side pull on the rod, reducing wear on the packing, packing nut and the stem. The one piece variable-flow plunger and the large cushion type seal for long life, assuring shut-off, even when foreign particles are present in the water line. The flow finder and lock automatically sets the same flow each time or can be locked against accidental opening. And the Y34 automatically drains when shut-off.

Hi Janet, The WOODFORD IOWA Y34 "America's Original" yard hydrant stands at 36 1/2 inches above ground. The Bury Depth for this is 48 in. WOODFORD, The Choice of Professionals.
I don't have any specifics on what fitting to use, other than it would need to fit a 3/4" female pipe thread. I can suggest that you take a look at the Y1 yard hydrant. This is a 1" inlet with the same exact features of the Y34.
Tom, The Woodford Y34-4 hydrant is at 36.5 in. above ground plus whatever bury depth needed, ie. 48 inches (4 feet) + 36.5 in. above ground = 4 foot bury depth (Y34-4) is needed, etc. Expert Woodford customer care support available at sales@eaglemountainproducts.com or via toll free at 1-800-308-0864. Woodford, The Choice of Professionals.
I don't remember the exact overall length, but I believe it is very close to 7ft. Plus or minus an inch or so. We buried 42", and have a under 4 ft above.
We do see Woodford hydrants used in these types of applications pretty commonly. The parts may wear out sooner than normal and need to be replaced and this can be done from above ground. Woodford hydrants are not intended for this type of application, however again, we do hear about this from time to time. Expert Woodford customer care support available at 1-800-308-0864.

Woodford parts only work on Woodford products. Woodford, The Choice of Professionals.
Depends on why it busted ? I had one where it pulled very hard due to age and bent pipe. You can get just the replacement parts. Might be best to ask a plumber and if it’s really old replace it.
A 1/2 in. line can be run to the hydrant yet will need to get a bushing to go from the 1/2 in. line to the 3/4 in. connection. Woodford can be contacted at 1-800-308-0864 if there are any other questions.
I doubt it. It's touted as "freezeless" because the water shutoff mechanism is located at the bottom of the pipe, presumably below the freezing level of the ground in your area. Since the water shutoff mechanism is located at the bottom of the pipe, removing the pipe deprives the upper handle of a function. Of course, that's not a problem if all you want is for the handle to serve as lawn art or a doorstop.
THe Y34 is meant for "non-potable" solutions. Woodford sells Models S3, S4H, Thermalines and H34s that comply with the 1/4/14 Safe Drinking Water Act. HomeDepot.com sells both the Thermaline and H34 hydryants. View Woodford's statement on the low lead law here http://www.woodfordmfg.com/woodford/LowLeadLaw.html
Absolutely. I've been using them for years.
