Answer This Question

Chuck, The Y34 is "America's Original" yard hydrant and has Automatic draining, variable flow finder, rod guide support, etc. The Woodford W34 does not have the variable flow finder or rod guide support, yet produced with the same quality as the Y34 here in the United States. The Y34 and W34 specifications can be found here at https://www.woodfordmfg.com/Woodford. These hydrants are meant for non-potable solutions. Woodford, The Choice of Professionals.

    Answer This Question

    Eddie, Yes, the Woodford Model Y34 IOWA yard hydrant is manufactured right here in AMERICA, in Colorado Springs, since the 1970s and in IOWA from 1929 - the 1970s. There is no competitive yard hydrant for the Y34 and is considered "AMERICA'S ORIGINAL". From the Variable flow, to the durable innovations such as a rod guide to prevent wear and tear of the inner parts, you will have a long-lasting hydrant for your watering needs. Woodford is also an AMERICAN company. Woodford, The Choice of Professionals.

      The top ad states that the height of this is 2ft, but in the description it states that it’s 60.5 inches. I’m assuming that the entire piece is 60.5 inches. I just don’t want to order it and receive one that’s only 2ft total length. Please clarify.

      Groovy Dog, not a problem. Woodford hydrant vary in length above the ground, however, all yard hydrants will be for example, 2 feet, 3 feet, 4 feet, etc. under the ground, based on what bury depth is recommended due to the FROST DEPTH. The Y34 yard hydrant will stand above the ground 36 1/2 inches, plus whatever depth will be below the ground.

          My neighbor says if I don't have the handle ALL the way up water will leak out the drain - under pressure. Imo, it will not drain until handle is locked down. Are either of us right?

          Answer This Question

          Keith, In our Woodford yard hydrants, we build in a "blind spot", in order that when you open the hydrant, it will seal off the drain hole and then allow water. At no time with the Iowa Y34 yard hydrant will you receive water out of both the drain hole and the nozzle. Expert Woodford customer support available at 1-800-308-0864.

              Is something suppose to screw into little backflow hole at the bottom because it's threaded

              Answer This Question

              Glenn, the threads in the 1/8 in NPT drain hole provides the option to thread a drain line/elbow into it so the Y34 yard hydrant will drain into a preferred area if you have poor soil conditions or you would like it drain someplace other that in the drain field below the Y34.

                  Chris, please connect with expert Woodford customer care support. Not sure what the issue is, yet, they can troubleshoot for you at 1-800-308-0864. You can locate great trouble-shooting procedures at www.woodfordmfg.com. Woodford IOWA Y34 "America's Original" Yard Hydrant is the Choice of Professionals since 1929.
                    It works great. Some connections are not fully tight from the factory. You just have to adjust the handle so that it makes the "click" sound when shutting off the water. While the water is on the top gland nut needs to be tightened to stop any water leaks at the top. I would recommend this product to anyone needing a quality bury hydrant.

                    This is the best brand for yard hydrant. It is our second one for a second location in 2 years. Both work consistently without fail or leaks even in freezing temps. Had issue with shipping Fed Ex when product got to Ellenwood Georgia ( the black hole) and received a totally different item. Had to return to store 40 miles away and have another shipped direct to store!

                    It has only been in the ground 5 days, but it seems top notch. Interestingly, it’s considerably shorter than the 2-ft bury-depth hydrant we replaced. Only an observation not criticism. Surely, shorter is sturdier.

                    Not sure what brand you had in place? The Y34-2 is 24 in. under ground and should be 36 1/2 in. above ground (standing 6-9 in. above other hydrants). The Y34 IOWA hydrant is known as "America's Original" since 1929. American hot-dipped Galvanized Schedule 40 steel without a seam is used for durability.

                      Very well built, strong and sturdy. Love the bucket holder and the dial for water flow.
