Woodford 79 Trimline Anti-siphon Wall Hydrant

Product Description

The WOODFORD 79 is a Trimline Anti-Siphon Wall Hydrant designed for exterior water supply applications in residential and light commercial construction. This wall hydrant incorporates an anti-siphon design that prevents backflow, protecting the potable water supply from contamination caused by back-pressure or back-siphonage. The low-profile Trimline form factor allows for a clean, close-to-wall installation. It is typically installed by licensed plumbers during new construction or retrofit projects requiring code-compliant exterior hose connections.

The WOODFORD 79 is suited for exterior walls in residential homes and light commercial buildings where a frost-protected or non-freeze hose bib is needed. It provides a reliable outdoor water connection for irrigation, equipment washdown, and general utility use. The anti-siphon feature makes it appropriate for installations where local plumbing codes require backflow prevention at the point of use on exterior hose connections.

Key Features

• Anti-siphon design provides integral backflow prevention at the hose connection
• Trimline profile sits close to the wall for a clean finished appearance
• Wall hydrant design mounts through exterior walls for protected interior valve operation
• Suitable for residential and light commercial exterior plumbing applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation wall hydrant for residential and light commercial exterior plumbing systems requiring anti-siphon protection at the hose bib.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code and applicable local codes. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before beginning installation or replacement work. Ensure proper slope toward the exterior to allow complete drainage and prevent freeze damage in cold climates. Do not overtighten packing or fittings beyond hand-tight plus standard wrench turns without reference to manufacturer torque guidance.
