Woodford Model 17 anti-siphon sillcock
The Woodford Model 17 is a freezeless outdoor wall faucet designed for year-round residential irrigation. It features an integral anti-siphon device that protects against backflow up to 125 psi without needing an add-on vacuum breaker. A stainless steel seat prevents leakage at the back of the faucet. The unit has a 6 in wall thickness and a powder-coated aluminum handle.
Suits irrigation; not for continuous pressure
This faucet suits homeowners needing a reliable, freeze-resistant hose bibb for seasonal watering and irrigation tasks. The integral backflow protection simplifies installation by meeting protection requirements without extra parts. It is not intended for applications requiring more than 12 hours of continuous water pressure. Buyers needing constant pressurised supply should look at alternative valve types.
6 in wall thickness installation length
The critical specification is the 6 in wall thickness, which combines with the 1 1/4 in inlet to reach 7 1/4 in from the back of the faucet. This dimension determines whether the sillcock will span your specific wall cavity correctly. Verify this exact length against your wall construction before purchase to ensure a proper fit and freeze protection.

Questions about this item
What existing plumbing connection does the 1/2 in. MPT x 1/2 in. FSWT inlet require?
It connects to a 1/2 inch male pipe thread fitting or a 1/2 inch female sweat copper fitting inside the wall.
Will the integral backflow protection device on this Model 17 handle the pressure from my older irrigation pump?
Yes, the built-in anti-siphon device protects against up to 125 psi of backpressure without needing a separate vacuum breaker.
How can I confirm the freezeless function is working after I install the 6 in. wall thickness unit?
Shut off the valve, remove the hose, and verify no water remains in the faucet body; it will not rupture from freezing when drained properly.
