Model 17 Outdoor Freezeless Wall Faucets
by Woodford
The Model 17 Freezeless Wall Faucet, with built-in vacuum breaker, is a great way to protect you from water damage caused by a burst pipe. When installed per the manufacturer's instructions, these faucets prevent water from remaining in the faucet, so water is not allowed to freeze in the pipe. This can save you from the headache - and high expense - to repair damages caused by an undetected leak, which can potentially be very costly due to damaged pipes when the water is turned on after having been frozen and then thawed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. "Are these outdoor faucets quarter turn?"
A. No, these quality outdoor faucets are compression style faucets, making them easy to repair.
Q. "How do I choose the right faucet length?"
A. Determine the thickness of your wall. The faucet must pass through the exterior wall all the way through to the interior of the wall to keep the inlet from freezing. Next, choose the style of inlet you will need to attach to the type of piping you are using. The inlet length will be determined by the inlet type you choose. The inlet length is the length the faucet shaft is exposed on the interior wall to allow your piping to be connected to the faucet. Order the faucet determined by the actual wall thickness of your wall, not the overall length which includes the inlet length.
If your wall thickness is 4" then select the 4" wall thickness. If your wall is 4-1/2" thick then select the next size up to make sure the inlet of the faucet goes through your wall so the inlet is protected from freezing conditions.
