Hang On To Your Shorts! - I finally got around to installing three of these repair kits on my 39 year old house (two of the were leaking). The first kit went in every bit as easy as demonstrated in this video Banda-Bing-Bada-Boom! The next two were examples of installs from Hell! On one of them thee left-hand threaded Headnut was mechanically "frozen" to the fixture... I even tried to 14" pipe wrenches... no luck. Had to break out the torch! After giving is some serious heat it finally broke free and the rest of the install wasn't too bad, On the last valve, I loosened the head nut okay but when I pulled out the control rod the rubber nipple portion of the plunger assembly was not on the end of the shaft but instead split in two pieces and stuck sideways at the end of the 12" tail pipe! I had to stand on my head to see what I was doing while digging out the plunger pieces suing a flashlight and coat hanger bent into a hook. Anyway.. all kits installed. No more leaks. Whew!

Video was very helpful, thanks. The gasket on mine was leaking too (no way to attach a picture here, but the one that drops out when you remove the assembly). It was a toss up between mail ordering parts for this horizontal model or trying to retrofit a more common style of anti-siphon "hydrant" that everyone carries. Doesn't really matter. None of the major home and hardware stores have parts for this. In the end, the repair wasn't any harder than planting something in the garden. I agree with the other comment which suggested the head nut gasket could be sold separately. Wouldn't be as much fun though. Would it?

I just repaired my 33-year old Woodford Model 25 which, starting about 6-months ago, dripped significantly when the faucet was ON, not when off. I purchased the repair kit and that totally fixed the problem. However, in examining the removed parts I believe that I only needed a Head Nut Gasket (30245), which would have only cost a little over a dollar. When I removed the original parts I noticed that the Head Nut Gasket was missing from the old assembly. Apparently, six months ago, it broke and disintegrated, causing the drip while on problem. Oh well, now the faucet is good for another 33 years.

Companion to this video: www.woodfordmfg.com/Woodford/Troubleshooting/25%20-%2027%20Troubleshooting.pdf "NOTE: Older faucets with a plastic head nut and handle should be upgraded with the RK-25 Repair Kit, which will repair most common problems and upgrade the faucet to the current design. Faucets with a brass head nut may be repaired with the RK-25 Repair Kit or individual parts may be replaced per the instructions below. Note to installer: Do not lubricate any part of the RK-25 repair kit or faucet. Lubrication can cause accelerated deterioration of the rubber parts or cause abnormal operation of the faucet. ......... The plunger and drain valve are threaded on the rod. A couple pairs of vise grips will remove the parts from the rod. When reassembling the parts on the rod, do not over tighten or the rod may break at the threads. "

1980s house and spigot not repaired in at least 20+ years. Spigot had the plastic head nut, so I wasn't sure if the repair kit was correct. Unscrewing the bits from the rod proved impossible without the visegrips. Video was excellent for letting me know where the drain guard and head nut gasket went. (The drain guard previously was broken and in the wrong place, so everyone would get a bath if turning off the spigot when pressurized. Now the water sprays backwards at the wall. Nice. I love the self draining feature.)

Actually... that means its working correctly. The Woodford Model 25 faucet is a freeze proof faucet. When working correctly and/or was recently rebuilt using repair kit RK25 , when the valve is closed it will "purge or dump" all water from inside the tube assembly. Water will be forcefully discharged (due to water pressure) through the six holes located around the circumference of the head nut. When assembled correctly, the "Drain Guard" (the clear plastic ring included in the repair kit) covers the holes and disburses the water in a splashing but messy pattern that can get you wet. The purpose of the purge is to discharge any water in the line that could freeze and damage the assembly in cold weather. All that being said... the spray of water problem can be fixed! All you need to do is purchase and install a Woodford 50HA Back Flow Preventer (also known as a Vacuum Breaker) Installation of the vacuum breaker "does not" require you to disassemble your exiting faucet. It is simply an adapter that gets installed between your garden hose and your faucet hose bib. To see the Back Flow Preventer in action and how to keep from getting drenched, check out this RU-vid video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UjFuoQnRqWs.html NOTE: For anyone who has yet to order a RK-25 Repair Kit to rebuild their Wordford Model 25 faucet... see if you can locate a Woodford Repair kit RK-27 instead. It has all of the same exact components as the RK-25 kit only it also includes the 50HA Back Flow Preventer (Fair Warning - the RK-27 kit is hard to find).

I have a Model 25. I noticed the other day that it is leaking when I just barley have the water turned on out of the drain holes. This also started after my wife accidently removed the vacuum break. I put the vacuum break on no problem. Do I need a repair kit or a new vacuum break or both. Thanks in advance.
